Ah yes, it's the intergenerational communications gap. Patience, Grasshopper, sense there is.
Mom still needs to back the heck up and provide some context.
Clarissa just woke up from a bad dream or nightmare. It's hard to be clear-headed right away. Hard to shake off sleep and the dream's effects right away. So in all fairness, it's understandable that she's sounding mixed up.
She just had a traumatic experience and woke up from a nightmare where she relived an earlier traumatic experience. Even a healthy person will be emotionally distressed and have difficulty talking about it. I'd give her some time to wake up at least.
