Yup, it's kind of what I mentioned in the other topic. Kind of that the mother became smothering after her disapperance when she got back, as she got older the father decided HE needed to step back a bit or else the girl would suffocate.
Then adolescence- Boo started to distance herself more and mother listened to father about taking a step back sometimes. More steps back taken as Boo pretty much edged away, etc etc.
Partly Boo's fault that her parents don't seem to know her in an odd way. Also partly theirs. This is not going to be a 'BAAAAD parents' story.
Parents aren't perfect. Neither are kids. If either party expects perfection from the other all the time, it is going to end in tears.
It's going to be difficult to write it though. But that's a (very rough) idea of what I think.
Also partly Sulley's fault in a way as well as other issues. (I think he'd be the reason they would move, mother got spooked by 'hearing things' when he had visits to Boo's room, much longer than most other monsters would have to kids rooms). And they're not you know TERRIBLE though. (They'd know her birthday and her school friends names etc etc.). They're just only 'allowed' access to a small part of her life- and they pretty much see it as normal. Plus, Boo doesn't seem to give them much 'reason' to worry at first glance.
They're going to become suspicious though, and they're not completely oblivious after all. Of course, still need to write their parts.
