Now your attraction is fading and her immigration paperwork is pending. Is this really about weight, or something much deeper?You grew up in a tight-knit family, but as your Boomer parents have grown more devout and politically entrenched in retirement, you've drifted toward ambivalence and a quiet nihilism.
