===Brigit meets Lars===
By MoiraColleen, from (parent)
They meet at university. There's a program where upperclassmen would be asked to play big brother/sister to specific freshmen or other newcomers, particularly people who lived in the same residence hall, so maybe Lars was getting some kind of credit or something that would look good on his CV by participating. He'd spend time helping her find her way around campus, maybe have tips on how to handle particular professors, generally help her acclimate. And maybe Lars was also far from home and found it unexpectedly comforting to have someone who seemed to relate to him so well.
So they ended up eating meals together, attended the odd fraternity or sorority social function--that neither really wanted to, but again, looks good on the CV. Birgit soon recognized that Lars had social/financial/political/academic connections that would be of benefit to her, so she took care to be a commiserating ear whenever he was annoyed about something, played sounding board for his ideas, gave intelligent feedback that also solidly affirmed whatever theory he was postulating.
By the first holiday, the hook was in place. Lars found out Birgit was going to stay on campus over the break, so he asked his parents' permission to invite her to come home with him. At first, she seemed equally charming to them, and so she was invited to return. During the summer, she rented an apartment close to the Gottlieb home in order to keep close to Lars; and thanks to this more frequent interaction with her the Gottliebs senior started to see the cracks in the façade. Unfortunately, by that point Lars was too thoroughly smitten to listen.
Whenever the subject of Lars' parents' objections arose, Birgit pretended to believe that it was because they saw an inherent inferiority in her--maybe she was underprivileged and only attending the university due to a substantial scholarship thanks to her academic brilliance; maybe she pretended to have low self-esteem so that Lars would make an effort to build her up and, in doing so, strengthen the idea in his own mind of what an excellent person she really was.
They married when Birgit became pregnant, a calculated move on her part to cement her connection with Lars. Lars' parents were deeply unhappy, but they also wanted to ensure the well-being of and have a relationship with their future grandchild, so rather than alienate their son, they grudgingly accepted the match.
During the pregnancy and after Dietrich's birth, Lars attributed any of Birgit's seemingly uncharacteristic behaviors to hormonal issues, post-partum depression, etc. The cracks became really noticeable by the time Birgit became pregnant with Karla; by then, Birgit had begun courting sponsors and working on her own projects, and her resentment of the pregnancy and subsequent care of yet another child soon became evident.
