LW2 is SO HARD. Wow. Kicking out a roommate and replacing them with a new one is hard enough even when their insecurities *don't* line up exactly with that situation. But you know this band-aid has to be ripped off. I think the best you can hope for is that Greg and his partner are honest with Franny in the gentlest way possible. Trying to create some situation to hide the fact that you're replacing her would only hurt her more. Then, after she moves out, if she still wants to be friends with them, let her keep that relationship and don't treat her any differently than before.
Roommate stuff sucks, but if it's any consolation, those wounds heal pretty quickly when you're not living together anymore.

Wow, I'm sorry that people actually responded like that. I think many people are so uncomfortable with grief that it gives them verbal diarrhea. I always try to remind myself that less is more when it comes to that.
Ugh, god. People wanting to know the details is the worst. Like, really? What's wrong with you? If you're that nosy, you can find someone else to tell you how it happened besides the people directly affected.
Yes, it feels like "I forgive you" should only be used in movies when someone is shaking someone else by the shoulders and crying.
