Jordan: "I don't know. I just feel so terrible. Wait, what's DPD?" Karen: she hugged her "don't cry. It's alright."
Marina: "Dependent personality disorder. It's like when you can't function without the other person. A lot of the time if they lose the person they're so attached to they can't go on, or they find another person to cling on to for support."
Dawn: "Okay."
Jordan: "you think she has that?" It scared him. What if something happened. Karen: she gave her a smile.
Marina: She shrugged. "Maybe. I don't know."
Jordan: "that sounds scary." He got to school and got out.
Marina: "Not if you know how to deal with it. My dad has it and he gets along just fine."
Jordan: "really? How do we deal with it?" He slung his backpack on his shoulder.
Marina: "You just treat her like normal. You'd have to get her diagnosed. Does she ask you not to leave her? Like for any amount of time? A minute, or forever? Does she cling to you, almost desperately sometimes?"
Jordan: "yes. Forever. And yes. And she kind of tries to guilt me into staying. She does have it, doesn't she?"
Marina: "I think so, yes."
Jordan: "do I have to take her to the doctors?"
Marina: "Probably just a therapist."
Jordan: "oh. Okay."
Marina: She put a hand on his shoulder. "It will be okay."
Jordan: "how does your dad deal with it?" He realized that might be personal. "Oh, uh, if you don't mind me asking."
Marina: "Well, uh, he's kinda clingy to my mom, but normally realizes and tries to stop. He also goes to counseling.
Jordan: "oh. Thanks. I guess I'll take her to a therapist after we go to your house. Now come on, let's see how long the most recent 'Jordan Wilson rumor' will last."
Marina: "The kissing rumor? How do you think Dawn will feel about you just randomly taking her to a therapist and accusing her of having a disorder?"
Jordan: "yeah. I don't know, she's the one who made me get diagnosed. I guess I'll just be really gentle about it."
