re: Yeah . . .
Totally agree with you, Robert -- about leaving her alone, not the "normal"-thing:
... her life will only be normal when the media leaves her alone ...
The issue of normal was the main reason I posted to begin with. There is nothing "normal" about an abducted, sexually asaulted girl's psyche. She's now throwing herself at life as hard as she can, and one day she may even forget the abduction completely -- but that's just a form of traumatic amnesia, and something more for the psychology books.
I do wish her luck, but she'll one day need to face her demon head on.
