When I ask her to come to family events, it’s not about wheeling her out like a prop. Just as Edwin has his family, Chloe has her friends and her obligations to them. Chris, 37Edwin and his family expect Chloe to be wholeheartedly present at all gatherings, and there’s no wriggle room for Edwin to explain her absence. He needs to explain to his family that Chloe has a different approach and may not always be present. Simon, 45Edwin must listen to what Chloe is saying and stop needing to “show” her to his family.
