I think Lee has always seen me as somewhat of an obstacle between him and Christina. I know I’m overprotective of her, and for good reason, but that’s my job. It’s always been my job—I’m just better at it now. And while I don’t really have a problem with Lee—he is a good guy and all—he knows I have a strong influence on her life, for better or worse. Some men are threatened by that.
