She is really just being self righteous here. She is upsetting it more than Superman is at this point with the way she is behaving.

I never really thought of it that way, but I can definitely see her behavior as being a bit childish. She really has had her life turned upside down, but she's going a bit overboard with the "I'm right, you're wrong" way of thinking. It's not until he tells her that the trip to Krypton left him sick that she can finally break out of that pattern a little. Might be the connection between that and what *she* did to Jason... Hmmm.... Of course, it really is part of her character to be defensive and protective of herself, but that mother tiger part of her just comes screaming to the forefront, trampling the self-righteous part of her in the process. :p

And I figure that is what will happen. She hates that she wants it, but she does. And after the way Richard is more and more NOT fitting into her life andf the way Clark does... it just makes sense. Lotta telling, explaining and forgiving is imminent on both sides!

Bingo!! That was something that SR just left me wanting so bad, that it made me write this. There was just so much left to be said and done, so much healing and changing was yet to be seen; a simple "I'm always around" was just not going to cut it.
