In part, yes, sort of. But my gut feeling is that she would've been relieved mainly in that Owen was showing interest in a girl and not in, well, boys.

Oh no, you'll probably hate me for reviving a thread that hasn't been posted in for almost a year. Forgive me, but...

Owen's mom is so incredibly egocentric. We know she likes her wine and cocktails, we have evidence that she is still hopelessly addicted to her abusive ex. She can really only think if herself and her grief over losing an abusive relationship. Yes, she prays and her ex thinks she's a religious nut.

So, IF Abby wasn't so fast or lingered like Eli in LTROI and mom found her. She'd freak. Scream a bunch of crap, probably religiously based, plus some. Oh she would make it all about her. She's too caught up in herself to be a Margaret White. Then when she tired she'd walk out to go find a drink. She may walk out with leaving Abby and Owen in his room together. Egocentric alcoholics are notoriously inconsistent and unstable. After the drink she may go back and invite Abby to dinner. Somewhere in her mind she sees their wedding.

Good post, such as we've quickly come to anticpate from you. I had trepidations, too, about reviving old posts, but forum veterans assured me that it's a good thing to do.

Here's yet another "veteran" who sometimes does run across very old topics and posts new stuff in them. :twisted:

Come to think of it, yes, I can kind of picture her, once she's had another drink, after lots of biblical cursing at Abby for corrupting her purer-than-pure little boy, to go back, thinking of their marriage. To be fair, Abby is old enough to get married and has been for a long time, although I can see problems arising for any attempted religious marriage...
