Trolling - Good News! Bad News?

Okay, so a few days ago I visited KatieLyn's Facebook page. Of course, I can see only what is public, but I was looking for some sign that she has been able to break away from the faith-sapping codependency that imploded her first engagement.

SHOCK! I think I did find something! 

I cannot be sure about the dates, but it appears that SHE DID NOT SPEND MOTHER'S DAY AT HOME! It looks like she wasn't even in the same state!

If true, that is quite a change from last year. I guess what I had expected to see was a picture of her, perhaps with her nieces or perhaps with her siblings, even a selfie, but either way with a celebration of Mother's Day. Last year, KatieLyn's mom had made a pretty big to-do about it being the "last one."  I am not completely certain, (more like I have no clue actually,) what she meant by that—did she plan on dying? I guess she meant that it would be the last Mother's Day that KatieLyn would ever spend with her, which is a pretty silly supposition.

For me, her being out of town on Mother's day is a good-news/bad-news thing.
• The good news is that if KatieLyn actually did spend Mother's Day someplace else, then maybe she is breaking the bonds of her codependency.
• The bad news is that if KatieLyn actually did spend Mother's Day someplace else without fighting over it first, then her mom is one of the most manipulative hypocrites ever.

The Lesson
For me, any sign that KatieLyn is moving away from the codependency has got to be a positive. I hope that this is what it means. It would be tragic (and no, that is not hyperbole,) if her mom had encouraged her to spend Mother's Day weekend away because that would mean that Gwen, mother of the runaway bride, still has her own agenda that she is subtly imposing on her daughter; in which case, KatieLyn is in deeper than ever.

KatieLyn needs to be in the center of God's will, not the center of her mom's will.
