"I think they did a *horrible* job of indicating actual concern, and a really good job of acting like they knew exactly what was best for Joan, exactly who she ought to be "when she grew up," and were upset that she was stepping off of that narrow path."
Yes, yes, YES! This is what I was trying to get across to Nea; why I considered that Joan was not only in the right to be angry at her "friends" and their little intervention (in a public place? really???), but that what they were REALLY trying to do was to stuff Joan back into the box that they're used to, that they're uncomfortable with her trying to break out of, and that has become FAR too small and narrow for Joan.
