She seems to have told him about his family, but didn't sugar coat it. Could guess he would be quick to anger. She went straight for the serious and told him to leave. She wasn't plying him for cash as she might, otherwise.
Poor Claudia! Accepting her fate, yet giving Jeremy the heads-up on his future.
The question for Jeremy is:did she really see those things, or did she just say them, knowing it would make him storm out of the tent and harm's way?

If I had been told I'd be an alcoholic loser as a kid, I would've become a successful doctor out of spite. Where was Claudia when I needed her? lol
She was a smart one! Never underestimate the motivational power of spite 😁
