Momus,
Perhaps you should read my comment again - I'm pretty good at being specific in my wording...
I believe you weren't as clear as you think.
You wrote: "Why shouldn't the one who wasn't nice be the one expected to be the one offering apologies."
I replied: "You mean, the one in full protective mode because she feels her sister has intentionally wounded her mother? Shrug. Seems like that might take a while. For the record, I never suggested that emerald should be offering anyone any apologies. Based on what she's written, she hasn't done anything wrong."
I'm not sure what you think I've missed. Please be more specific. :D
From your comments it appears you think searching is being disloyal
That's interesting, since I can't for the life of me find the words "loyal," "disloyal," "loyalty," or "disloyalty" anywhere in my posts!
What I
did say is that I, personally, know that "searching" would be extremely hurtful to my mother. And I
did say that perhaps emerald's sister felt the same way, and that her nasty tirade was a symptom of protectiveness towards her mother.
Thank you, though, for reading my posts, albeit somewhat carelessly.
