[quote=Anonymous]OP here, yes, this was a serious post.

AP continues to be secretive.  She just divulges minimal information (almost nothing voluntarily) and I don't want to be the inquisition.  Mainly, she's distant.   I have a young teen daughter and I talked to her about the relationship with the AP.  She says it's OK but in contrast to our former AP who by this point she was much closer to the former AP - who she saw as more of a big sister she would joke around with, etc.  Current secretive AP is so distant there's not the easy camaraderie of former AP.

Secretive AP spent the entire weekend in the house, but avoiding us.  She is home but doesn't eat lunch with us (she waits until we've vacated the kitchen).  That sort of thing.  It feels like that distant roommate that you didn't really have a connection with in college/grad school.  Not terrible, but not great either.  I think she did have a BF but I wonder if he's still in the picture given the moping around the house all weekend.

I'm ready to be done with the AP program.  This is definitely our last one.  Don't know if I'll make it through the entire year.

I think a PP gave the advice that we just have to come to terms with the fact that it's going to be like this (and not expect a different relationship) with this girl.  Trying to get there but still having a hard time with it.  She's lived under our roof for 4 months now.  Maybe this is what we needed to wean us off the AP program.[/quote]
