The woman is trying desperately to separate herself from Rosie, and not in a big way.

Barbara does what is best for Barbara. I think her interviews have shown what a great kiss a$$ she is and that is because she isn't a person with great integrity, she's a person with a great ability to survive and do what's best for herself.
Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.
