My friend is not sleeping well.

I was hoping that after the victory over the DMV, she might have had a few night of peace and be able to sleep well, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

My crackpot theory is that she's on her own and without a roomate for the first time in a long time, and working a stressful job with a lot of people depending on her, and I think it's weighing her down.

I try to keep my mood light and keep her spirits up by reminding her how great she's doing at such a hard job in a new country. I wish there was some other way I could make her feel...well. safe in her new environment.

I know there's a lot I can't do, and this is one of those things.

I think I'm also a little angry that her SO isn't doing the job I think he should in making her feel better. Frankly, he should be worshiping her and wanting to be with her at all times, and I don't know if that's happening.

And I certainly don't want to be all overbearing and creep her out myself. I just wish the bst for her, and contentment, or at least a few good night's sleep would be a nice start.

How do you make someone feel safe? I know that's a rhetorical question, and the answer is "you can't". Doesn't stop me from wanting it though.
