Sethnesmee. I agree. Although I know there's nothing seedy implied in the books about imprinting... it's still strange when an adult imprints on a child. I can't help but feel the way that I do.

Okay Sethnesmee. I think I know what InspiredAndNatural	was trying to tell you about the incident between Sam and Emily.

Some of it can be explained in NEW MOON when Jacob and Bella were hanging out in the garage, and sitting together in the Rabbit. Jacob began to get upset about something. He had to stop, focus and concentrate because if he lost control of his anger...he could spontaneously change. Jacob would become so huge, so fast... that he would accidentally crush Bella...due to the space issue. It was the same with Sam and Emily. Sam lost control of himself and changed...Emily was standing WAY too close to him when it happened. She was actually lucky that she wasn't accidentally crushed by him as well. I think this is what InspiredandNatural was trying to relate to you.

I do understand this as well, but I also see where you're coming from too. A shapeshifter could possibly use this as an excuse in order to manipulate somebody. "OOPS! I didn't mean to morph and scratch your face off! You were just standing too close... and I'm just in a mood today!"

I don't condone what happened to Emily... but I do think it was an accident. But, if Sam even remotely thought he'd could possibly lose control of himself, he should have stayed away until he had better control. I think I know what you're trying to say... that despite the fact that Sam mutilated his girlfriend's face and body... everybody thinks it's okay since he's a shapeshifter and he accidentally shifted.

But, try to see if from InspiredandNatural's viewpoint. I CAN see her viewpoint as well. And like you, she should be able to post her opinion. I actually liked both of your opinions... and see value in both.
