She is still a little girl and I suspect will always be a little girl. Her parents and husband happily collude to keep her childlike, letting her play at 'keeping house' and at 'Mummies & Daddies'. She can only deal with the easy aspects of life, arranging some flowers, dressing her baby in dinky outfits and eating ice-cream.
Her whole life looks like the bastard lovechild of Enid Blyton & Cath Kidston. The moment real life crops up she goes to pieces and runs crying to the real grown ups.
The reason she is anxious is because she genuinely doesn't know how to deal with real life. She has never had to learn the skills or techniques. My 15 year old is far more savvy and resourceful than Beggy, and as a result has confidence in her own abilities to cope with life.
Her Mum basically pimped Beggy out to a much older man because she wanted to pass her onto another parent figure. God forbid Beggy might have dated a normal, red blooded teenager who might (gasp) encourage her to live a little and have fun. No. Not for their ickle girl.
Beggy went straight from being a 16 year old, to being a 50 year old with zero experience in-between. She lives such a stultifying existence of frumpy dresses, Marks & Spencer's Chicken Kievs and carefully arranged scatter cushions. Where's the passion, Beggy? Where's the fire and the fun?
Her epitaph should read:
"Died at 16. Buried at 80."

No one said ‘You got this Mama’ the only other person that would even say that would be one of the smug bloggers that seem to be popping up in cliques, not so much empowering groups of women but more ‘you can’t sit with us’...
