So she gets some from the left, some from the center. Not a bad balance. Pile on the Wall Street Journal editorial page and she'll come out perfectly neutral.
I did mean a phase of teen age, because the idea of someone Laura's age shaking her own life apart now and again seems to be a tale as old as time. She doesn't seem so much angsty as, uh, weird. I don't mean that pejoratively, but it's all that comes to mind; if I ran into someone like her in class, I think my opinion would run along the lines of, "What's the deal with her, anyway?" And not because of the 40-year-old boyfriend. I've known girls who've had those; I don't consider it a total aberration in itself.
In any case, I've obviously just been going on the sometimes-sketchy picture you've drawn of her in your journal. Maybe it's just conjecture, my brain only semi-accurately attempting to fill in the gaps. Wouldn't be the first time.
