[Lee says]:

Hmm--I think that Molly will have a lot of re-evaluation to do.  Her kids
are growing up and things are going to get a bit--no, probably a lot tougher
now.  She's a bit on the over-protective side...a lovely woman with a big
and good heart, but her own ideas of what her kids should be like and act
like, etc.

Unfortunately, things aren't working out the way she possibly hoped/dreamed.
She's lost contact with Percy who's gone on his own stream of bad judgment
calls and mistakes.  Fred and George have opened their joke shop, a far cry
from working in the Ministry as, I gather, Molly had hoped.

She's going to hang on to Ron and Gini for all she's worth and, inevitably,
there will be strain and possibly a bit of rift.

However, I can't help but feel that, in the final analysis, Molly will find
the proper balance in the relationships.  She's gonna have a lot of
heartache, I'm sure, but she has a lot of love in her, and I believe that
will be her aid in doing the balancing act.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
