It is easy for the narrator to be away from her family because she constantly struggles between reality and her fantasized experience. There is a constant need for the story to justify her running off and cheating on her husband, and using the importance of this spiritual story to justify her actions.
The narrator continually brings up her Grandfather because he always told her the story of the Yellow Woman and she feels that he was the one that would always take care of her, unlike her family who is still there with her.
The narrator continues to obey Silba because it is part of her fantasy.
The narrator tells her family she was kidnapped because she is so sucked up in her alternate fantasy of reality.
