She must have realised she’s going to hate living away from endless help, and can’t bring herself to move away from it. She will be absolutely crapping herself.
It seemed when they were at Kyle’s parents that she had more to do with the kids, even if granny was doing the cooking and school runs while she was busy breeding puppies and having house guests. Then they moved to her mums, where she reverted to being a teenager, and her mum stepped in to do all the stuff cos she was in bed.
The prospect of living a half hour drive from her mum must be terrifying her. Kyle works about 80 hours a week, and Angelina grafts too. She’s just realised she’s going to have to get stuck in herself again, and be responsible for keeping them washed, in clean clothes, fed, and settled into a new school.
No wonder she couldn’t help poor Kaden when he was upset - she needs him to man up to be there for HER in her hour months of need.
