But, she is a grown woman.

She made the choice.

Claire will be a teenager.

There is a big difference between 29 and 56 and 16 and 40.

It is stated if you read what imprinting is about that it's very possible that it's just so the imprinter has a better chance of passing on a gene which is why Leah never imprinted or got imprinted on because she can't have children while being a shifter.

Some people find Quil and Claire fine, but I don't.

She is going to grow up with people expecting her to be with Quil, it's not going to be something that she has a big choice with. What is expected of you as a child becomes what you as an adult.

They expect her to be with Quil.

Jacob even said it in the book.

That they would be as happy as Sam and Emily.

If he had said could be, I would feel a bit better, but he said would.

Would is implied that it's expected of you.

Emily choosing to  be with Sam doesn't change the fact that he physically harmed her. That he ruined her face in a way that was unfixable. She didn't want Sam until that. Do you know when you see cases like? In domestic violence. She tried to leave, and he didn't like it, so he ruined her so nobody else would ever want her.

It's not okay that this is seen as okay.

Emily should not have forgiven him ever.

Claire is going to grow up with that.

She is going to grow expecting to be with Quil, if she likes it or not will not be  a choice because it's grooming her into being his.

Imprinting is never shown as platonic. We have no case of it ever being anything not romantic, and it's not alright that people see it okay for Jacob and Quil to be waiting for these girls to grow up, so they can marry them.

She feels incomplete without the shifter.

That proves me right.

Right there.

She has no choice.

Because if she's not with him she feels like she needs to be.

Imprinting takes away choices.

It's a simple as that.

It's be with me, or always feel like you need me, and you can't be without me because I'm the one that's right for you.

Imprinting is a great idea. Paul and Rachel, Jared and Kim, are both beautiful examples.

But, I can't pretend that Sam didn't harm Emily, that she forgave him for hurting her, because she felt like she had to, and that Quil and Jacob aren't child grooming little girls, I can't.

We can just agree to disagree because I won't see it your way, and you won't see it mine.
