Yours Truly

Just sayin' People like to put all the responsibility on Kim (no one else is responsible for Kim's recovery or relapse but Kim) but as a sister WHY would you WANT to take this route against your sister? Why can't a person count on the people close to them to at least NOT sabotage them? I never understood why giving Kyle a pass while crucifying Kim because she had the nerve to have an addiction was completely acceptable to the masses. It never computed in my mind. Kyle takes unnecessary low blows and she really goes in for the kill. Not just catty retaliation but some seriously damaging antics. Like she truly wants to destroy the other person just cause she's fed up. That's never been lost on me and that's a truly dark and ugly place to live. She really will try to cause disruption in their world if she doesn't get her way. Kyle is mad that Sutton didn't join her cause to ruin her sister Kathy publicly (that in itself has always been so questionable to me.) Kyle really truly wants to shine a bright light on her sisters and desperately wants to contribute to their downfall. Not to say they haven't done their own damage to themselves but I've always been so completely taken aback on how impassioned Kyle is in this endeavor. I mean damn, does she really HAVE TO participate <cough> create <cough> the narrative? She did it to LVP too and used the timing of LVP's grief in her favor. It's just alarming to me how far Kyle goes when she's unhappy about someone or something. The fact that she feels so entitled to her sob stories at the expense of any and everyone else is what I find so troublesome about her. As well as the antics she implements during these fits of self absorption.

Problem with Crystal is that I'm not sure she owns her shit too well. The reason that first season got hella cringy was because she too tried to get on the Sutton hate train and tried to create over the top narrative surrounding her interactions with Sutton. Of course Suttons awkwardness gave Crystal plenty to play with but when Crystal overshot and mishandled her accusations she tried to walk it back with a bunch of vagueness, my truth, "I won't say what she said" antics. I continued to wait for her to just say she hadn't expected her claims to come across so dark and did not want to suggest that Sutton was some terrible person but she continued to paint an even gloomier picture in an attempt to cover up her misstep. Crystal assessed the situation and thought the mean girls would quickly and easily pick up the slack and run with it and all she had to do was throw out the ember of detail that would get hounds snarling at Sutton. She read the assignment wrong cause they expected her to start AND finish the beef with Sutton from beginning to end with them MAYBE being in her cheering section but definitely not moving the baton forward for her. When Crystal realized, that in this group, she was expected to carry the burden of the feud SHE CREATED with Sutton all the way to the finish line she realized she fucked up and many episodes in you see her twist and turn and try to untangle the mess she made cause not only was she on her own with the Sutton mess now she was facing some backlash for where she had decided to take it from the very people she was trying to impress. Yeah, hopefully these last few seasons of Crystal hanging back and observing has prepped her for what AnneMarie is gonna try and dish out but I'm not gonna hold my breath. The only thing Crystal got going for her is that AnneMarie is an idiot however next week we see it isn't about intelligence and it's just about straight up bitchiness and we all definitely know AnneMarie is a bitch. Not sure how that is going to go down. Add the fact that I have no idea what sort of appetite the other women have regarding taking a bite out of Crystal and it can go either way. For the most part the women are all good with Crystal so they may not want to take the morsel AnneMarie is trying to give them but who knows. It would be hella interesting if AnneMarie succeeds in putting Crystal in the hot seat where she was not successful in putting Sutton there. That's why I say that I'm not sure anything will come out of AM's bomb next week cause Sutton was (and always seems to be) the intended target not Crystal and honestly I don't think anyone cares enough about Crystal to be all the bothered. But of course there's a trip on the horizon and they need some meat to sink their teeth into in order to TRY and ruin another group trip. sigh.

Personally I think Suttons reaction was based on being put on the spot by Kyle with the cameras rolling. Not everyone is camera ready for an emotionally jolting conversation. I'm the same way. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to be triggered by it. I am not ready to go into a full cry and emotionally distraught fit at the drop of a hat because someone has decided they want to have a "moment" with me without warning. In that moment Kyle was making it about HERSELF with her crying and distress and emotional theatrics and I think Sutton was a bit thrown off by that. If it were Dorit in front of her having a moment then I think Sutton would have been able to pull it together enough to offer comfort but Kyle being the one needing comfort because she's so distraught over Dorit seemed like such an attention grab and I think THAT'S the reaction we saw from Sutton in that moment. Not to mention that Kyle seemed to be needing something from Sutton. I think Suttons bad taste reaction was her pushing back on Kyle piggybacking on Dorits trauma and trying to extract sympathy and attention from Sutton meanwhile Sutton ain't got time for it, and she's tells us why she doesn't. LOL.

Yeah I noticed how AM, in the after show, has made it a SERIOUS point to say that it was Kyle who threw the first punch regarding ED. It's obvious in that scene that Kyle's tone suggested that she didn't buy Suttons esophagus explanation for why she doesn't eat alot. The crazy part is, as I watched Kyle throw out that point snidely, making it was obvious what she was doing but at the same time, to me, it was clear that she was rewrapping something she KNOWS is legit and chose to use it completely out of context in order to attack Sutton. That is what is so freaking terrible about Kyle. The random women in the room are just going to receive Kyle's spin at face value and have no reason not to and Kyle KNOWS that. Meanwhile the women on the cast are a bit taken aback because they don't quite grasp where Kyle is trying to go with that because they know AND HAVE WITNESSED Sutton struggling with it on occasion and even speak on it to each other in another scene. Either in that episode or the next. So AM is being pretty adamant about making it clear that it was Kyle's narrative. It still won't absolve her though because she was the dumb fuck who thought it was a good idea to challenge someone's medical issues so blatantly. I'm really not a fan of these women coming for a cast member using such tactics. I mean, drama and tomfoolery come with the territory I just wish that cruelty and hatefulness would not. Rinna was hateful. Erika is hateful. Kyle is hateful. I don't care what annoying character traits some of the other women have, their faults will never trump the hatefulness displayed by a certain few. So when Sutton gets flak for being odd, weird or not being able to read a room I don't bat an eye. Garcelle is getting a bit sus to me but that's the reality show recipe so again not gonna clutch any pearls. But the hateful angle is where I draw the line. AM is hateful because she's overstepping bounds about something that she should have never been comfortable to speak on in the first place. That tells you how she rates herself to think she's someone of authority. Miss 8.5 herself fancies herself as something much more than her true 2.5 rating.

To be honest I totally see what happened there. I can't stand AM but she is pretty much explaining that Kyle's mention of seeing Sutton push her food around her plate and talk about a narrow esophogus, to her, pretty much suggested that Sutton has a eating disorder. THIS goes along the mechanics of how Kyle operates. That moment when Kyle pulled that out of her ass was so random but at the same time very well placed. She IMPLIES with just one comment in a room with people who don't know Sutton, mainly AM, so that the simplest conclusion can be jumped to by those who don't know about Suttons condition. Notice how Kyle still doesn't clarify and walk back any of that to AM once she realizes that AM is pretty much deducing that Sutton has an ED. Kyle continues to have raised eyebrows discussions about Suttons "imagined" narrow esophogus in order to keep AM on the case. AM has mishandled it though because instead of running with the baton and questioning whether the diagnosis is being used as a cover up for ED, AM went and challenged whether or not the condition even exists at all. AM fumbled the ball. What Kyle needed her to do was just be skeptical about whether that was the real reason for her pushing her food around. AM was supposed to challenge whether Sutton really had the condition and not the existence of the condition itself.

Absolutely YES to the bolded. Kyle is such a selfish asshole. I don't deny their dysfunction but the way Kyle wants to keep pretending that she hasn't been an absolutely shitty sister herself cause all she wants to focus on are the parts of their lives where she's in her own turmoil but forgets that she never seems to skip her time up at bat when it's time to sling her own mud. The invasiveness that she allows towards her sisters doesn't make any sense to me. Look, I might have family issues, problems, fights etc. etc. but I'll be damned if I let people that I know and have confided in attack them on my behalf and worse use the information I've shared to attack them for their own personal nasty agenda. I thought it was interesting how Kim hadn't heard Kyle's side yet. I felt like that was a classic Kyle move. What is Kyle's side? Kathy was harsh? Kathy said mean things? Mean things like "you're a goddamn alcoholic Kim", on camera for the viewing audience to see? I love how everyone is supposed to be so pained for Kyle but have we actually heard what terrible, monstorous things her sisters have done to her? Oh sure, we've seen footage of the dysfunction and the antics but do we know of official abuses. Like specific stories of when Kathy took her puppy and drowned it in the pool cause she was so mad at Kyle? Or when Kim bullied and teased Kyle along with her 80's child star clique way back in the day? Look, I'm pretty sure things get ugly in that family. They don't know how function in a healthy manner but one thing I've noticed since day one is that Kyle is very veiled in what her grievances are. Even in this conversation/ confessional she speaks in hushed whispers about what "Kathy did" and keeps all the details to herself but then manages to add sentiments like she doesn't want the people around her to mistreat her anymore. It's always vague but supported by everything she KNOWS the public knows about her family if that makes sense. She's a very very significate manipulator. Has she EVER explain what the real serious grievances are with her sisters in detail? (Saying she gets cut off from Paris isn't exactly cruel and unusual punishment) I can't with the "verbal abuse" angle because its a cycle they all participate in so to act as if she's the only one that is mistreated and abused is just so fake and phony to me and I completely find it gross that she uses their dynamic as something SHE alone hasn't been able to escape while the other two relish in such toxicity and relish inflicting pain on her. Honey, you do too and that's the truth! Her trauma, Kim's unfortunate addiction, Kathy harsh personality and control issues all stem from THEIR shitty childhoods but Kyle what's to put the spin that Kathy and Kim abuse and mistreat her. Kim's addiction wasn't DONE to Kyle. Kathy's rigid standards and expectations are a symptom and not something Kathy has created JUST to inflict on Kyle and yet she gives off this energy as if Kathy and Kim really truly target her and have no other purpose for her than to use and abuse her and I find that narrative so outrageous and so unfair. But yup that's the one she goes with season after season and in some way shape or form Kyle really does hope that eventually the public can see Kim and Kathy for the monsters they are and take her side once and for all. Kyle doesn't want to heal she wants continuous apologies and constant groveling. Not to mention endless passes for her own very unkind behavior towards them. As much as it makes sense that yeah, "I can see that being possibly true" that Kathy does this and Kim is probably a nightmare because of that, do we ever actually see first hand Kim or Kathy truly abusing Kyle or do we see sisters arguing with each other and when we have seen that polarizing footage who is usually the reason or the initiator of those confrontations? I'm so tired of Kyle and her need to blame her sisters. There's blaming and then there's understanding that there is a fractured dynamic among the three. Instead Kyle continues to point fingers like a child crying "she hurt me." Kim and Kathy's coping methods are both unfortunate and puts strain on all three but Kyle's coping methods seems to be to continuously throw the other two under the bus for THEIR unfortunate coping methods that have stemmed from a traumatic childhood that all three share. Her need to be singled out as the one true victim for something all three have battle scars from has always enraged me. She succeeds too and that's even more bothersome.

Yeah, Denise is only bringing the cringe. She's not cut out to be a housewife and that's all there is to it.

Good question. It seems like it's always Kyle not speaking to one of them while Kim and Kathy don't ever seem to be on the outs but then again Kim and Kathy aren't on the show so we don't see enough to make that an official conclusion.

This is always surprising to me. Kim ain't young and just because Halle Berry, JLo and a good number of other celebrities are looking like the fountain of youth visits them nightly doesn't mean a woman looking her age should be such an issue. Everyone ages differently. Hell Justine Bateman looks rough but at the same time what's supposed to be the standard? And are we actually gatekeeping people's looks like that? I'm all about being awed with the over 50 over 60 crowd that kills it but I'm not going to be confused or be jolted about a woman in her 50's or 60's NOT looking 30.. That's just weird.

I think the part that bugs me the most is that I feel like Kyle likes to drag that shit out. Kim hid behind drugs and alcohol and Kathy just wants to leave it in the past which, to be honest I don't know why that particular option is so wrong. They don't seem to do anything productive about their trauma so in my opinion WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT? if only to garner sympathy. There's no maturity and as sad and relevant as this topic is I'm totally sick of hearing about the Richards sad, sad childhood and nightmare mother. Take a fucking number. This information is used only to excuse bad behavior and to be honest I'm pretty annoyed that this woman can't rest in peace. At some point you gotta stop blaming others. We ALL have choices we can make and to constantly be shaking in your boots citing "growing up with mom was tough" at their age just rings as theatrical and actually quite insulting at this point. It's one thing if there was a journey to healing regarding their mother and their childhood but that's not where they are and it doesn't seem that's a path they're ever going to consider so I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE.

To be honest I don't understand why that's even necessary. What I truly wish is that they stop talking about it period. We are all products of our childhood whatever that may have entailed and at their big age, continuing to behave like clueless children, slaves to these realities is just BORING! I mean "mental health" this and "mental health" that but at what point in life do you put the demons to rest? Or, ACCEPT the demons and live with them? Like, the hamster wheel of purposeful angst is just something I just DO NOT understand. There's no resolutions, they can't go back and change anything and "talking" about it has DONE nothing for the sisters since none of them can speak openly and freely about how they REALLY feel about things. You come to a point in life where the best decision is to understand that there won't be a nice pretty bow tying up all the issues from the past. I don't get the need to keep reliving the angst from the past to the point that it continues to create angst in the here and now. It's a crazy concept and it's rather elementary but one of their biggest, biggest problems is that they are all STUBBORN. I really believe that's where 90% of their CURRENT issues lie. Agree to disagree, agree to not make silly demands of each other, Agree to managing expectations levels and once and for all Agree to stop behaving like any one sister has soooooo much power and control over the others. Stop the power struggle and agree not to overstep into each others rightful space. Whether you like the dynamic or not. Each individual can decide what they will and will not deal with and I don't think it's ever necessary for them to cut ties. Pulling back, taking breaks from each other doesn't automatically need to be labeled a family feud. They need to stop stigmatizing the idea of needing space. They need to make it okay and amicable if one or more needs breathing room and there doesn't need to be this 100% withholding of love and unity. Family can take time to regroup while still maintaining some contact in doses. The all or nothing approach that these sisters put into place when there is family strife is the biggest problem they have. Some family discord isn't always worthy of breaking the family apart for years at a time. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Well from the footage I've seen I get the impression that the sisters react to Kyle's shading dealings. Not saying they don't have a whole toxic merry go round in place but it seems to me that Kyle tends to Buck the established comfort zones and pushes passed established family boundaries and the sisters react/push back. Kyle has made it clear that she's "victimized" because she doesn't want to keep family secrets, cover for this one or that one but I'm always left wondering... Why is she so hell bent on disclosing all that damaging information so publicly in the first place? I've never truly got on board this whole idea that it's okay to air EVERY and ALL details of one's life and add the fact that she seems to think it should be her prerogative to include information that's not necessarily hers alone to share and I get why the sisters take turns not speaking to her. Seems to me that Kathy gets in her feels when Kyle goes overboard in the sharing department. Not only does Kyle overshare she seems to put a spin on things to imply this or that or outright accuse. Honestly it just feels like a YEARS LONG venting session at this point. I'm always left with the feeling that Kyle's need to overshare is purely out of spite and spite alone and that's a whole lot different than wanting to do if for healing purposes. She does it to get back at people and that's all there is to it. At least to me anyway. Not saying she's the only one but I feel like she's the most elaborate and ongoing of the sisters that continues to AIR, AIR, AIR...

To be honest, I'm sorta over the shaming of Denise's price point on only fans. Now don't get me wrong, this is just a wild guess cause I absolutely do not know how only fans officially works but my limited understanding is that Only fans is such a great money maker cause it reaches SO many people so you really wouldn't have to charge all that much for a subscription if you can pull in thousands upon thousands of subscribers. Denise is still a recognizable name and still a celebrity crush to many men of a certain age so isn't it about the amount of subscriptions that matter cause I mean if she has 1 million subscribers that pay $7 a month........ The math ain't that hard to figure out that $7 ain't bad at all.... Just sayin'.

Yup, that too. This season Garcelle seems to be a bit more calculated in her approach to things. Not saying that she hasn't always had a hand in things but she seems to be a bit more detailed and specific with certain conversations. In previous seasons Garcelle came across as in the moment witty but this season there's something different. It seems like she's got stuff already prepared and ready to spill which I'm not exactly mad at but she seems to be at the ready with Sutton tea as well which is what I'm finding even odder. Previous seasons Garcelle's comebacks, retaliations and burn seemed pretty organic. This season its seems like more of a structured agenda which I'm not really feeling. I get the feeling that Garcelle is trying to position herself in more of a neutral position concerning Sutton. Yes they are friends and I was happy to hear Garcelle say something to Dorit but at the same time Dorit wouldn't have had that information to begin with had it not been for Garcelle. I think Garcelle is trying to show herself to be someone who is loyal but isn't blinded by loyalty which is why you see her criticize Sutton on occassion. Where I think Garcelle is faltering is how she's going about it. You can't kiki with people who are gunning THAT hard for your friend. I get it's a show and yall have to film together but I think Garcelle's strategy gets a little suss here and there. I don't necessarily think Garcelle's actions are against Sutton. It seems like it matters a bit more to Garcelle how the others see Sutton and her freindship with her. As if Suttons grace period has run out and Garcelle wants to stand alone a bit more in relation to how the others see her. I just think in Garcelle's attempt at defining who she is and how she operates to the other ladies she doesn't take into account what pitfalls she then creates for Sutton with the other women. I get she doesn't want to only be defined as Suttons ride or die but she needs to step carefully cause in the Bravo universe friendships are easily sacrificed in the name of fitting in. There's also a part of me that is wondering if Garcelle is dabbling into the fun too when it comes to teasing Sutton. There's something about Garcelle that doesn't say 100% good guy. Once in a while I get a bit of a mischievious vibe from her. I mean the way she can throw shade obviously tells us she got a bit of a salty side so I mean, if she were to start feeling that Sutton is getting somewhat exhausting I wouldn't put it past her to start throwing small little "all in good fun" barbs at Sutton with the rest of them. Yeah, I'm worried about this

I still don't think it falls under "what was she thinking" category. I've shared how I do side eye Garcelle on occasion but there's no denying that they have a close friendship outside of the show so I don't consider Sutton sharing a misstep. Unfortunately, I think Sutton should tread a little lighter with her trust of Garcelle cause as we've seen Garcelle does seem to have a bit of a teasing side to her and not always in the best taste. For me, no I wouldn't have shared but in Suttons case I understand why she did without concern. It's a shame she was wrong to do so tho.

She didn't tell the women. She told Garcelle who I and a lot of viewers believe she has a real friendship with outside of the show. To be honest, I like Garcelle but I'm starting to get a tad bit nervous cause Garcelle seems to "fuck with" Sutton a little too much lately and around these women GIVING them ammo against her. I think she's just trying to kind of help Sutton find her playful footing with these ladies but at the same time I'm a bit critical of what she has decided to use to accomplish this. And soon I'm going to start questioning her motives if she keeps introducing the "wrong" kind of playful details that only give the other women more to attack Sutton with. I'm just keeping my eyes open cause as much as I like Garcelle I'm starting to see a side of her that suggests she can flip the switch with the best of them and while I do believe she would need a good (and not mean girl) reason to be on the outs with someone I still wouldn't put it past her to be cutting in retaliation no matter who you are. I just hope nothing happens where she's aiming it at Sutton.

Yup, she alienates her friends when she feels they have not been loyal to her. It's rather abusive in nature. She's pretty much training them to understand that when you haven't performed to her satisfaction in any given situation or conflict she's involved in then she cold shoulders you, excludes you in activities she's participating in with new or other friends, and basically shuns you. Giving you a taste of how it feels to be "unfriended" by her. Of course eventually she'll come around but you are now expected to behave in a way that earns redemption in her eyes all the while making it clear what she expects in the next mean girl situation she gets into and/or creates. It sounds ridiculous but it instills a sense of underlying mindfulness that says "okay if I don't handle this right Kyle is gonna, again, be mad and start this whole shunning thing all over again and I don't want that to happen". It's a very ugly conditioning tactic that we've seen her pull over and over again starting with Kim.

Its funny how Garcelle's comments seem to find it's way to Suttons mouth, put there by others. Garcelle clarified that SHE thought it was an "I fucked up gift" (not to mention the footage clears that right up) not Sutton. Suttons says that Kyle isn't wearing her wedding ring. Sutton's observation of the new ring is to highlight her missing wedding ring which ties into her asking if there's anything wrong she wants to speak on (i.e. marriage troubles, not neccesarily cheating). The suggested explanation for the new ring was all Garcelle. One thing I hate about following the housewives franchise in general is how hard it is for everyone to keep the details straight.

Okay so Haleigh has been ashore all day for her issue, Kyle's been asleep, then woken up, then sent to the hospital, spent the night got back on the boat and no mention of Haliegh or check in with her beside her first call telling Sandy she's got a stomach bug. The previews for next episode has Lara feeling sick and possibly having to go to the hospital, where there's a mention of them being down to just Luka and Max if Lara's gone.................. Like damn! Is Haleigh ok? I'm starting to worry about her LOL and the fact that she's not mentioned is just all kinds of hysterical to me. Like the girl left the boat and has been gone long enough for Kyle to go to the hospital and back and now Lara is on her way and Haleigh still isn't back? I'm wondering if the producers ended her season early and already sent her home since no one seems to notice her absence, I mean aside from being down a deckhand but even then it's only now a predicament because Lara seems to be out of commission. Otherwise, I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelash if she never returned to the boat. LOL Also, I'm not a big fan of Haleigh and forgive me for being so obnoxious and rude in my observation and description but I think Haleigh suffers from a huge case of butterface syndrome and over compensates by being extra party girl and shocking cause she knows her "assets" are from the neck down (you know everything "but-her-face"). It saddens and also annoys cause there are ways to boost self confidence that doesn't involve the obvious, easy, vulgar, trashy=sexy formula and it just pains me to see women take these routes when there are so many avenues one can take. Glamorous, Elegant, Sultry, Classy, Saucy, Spicy but the whole trashy-low rent-easy persona wins out every time. It's just so disappointing to see.

I mean what's "normal"? and even more of a question what's "normal" for someone who has established issues? I find it to be a meh concern considering Kim's history. I'm not saying that it ISN'T a manifestation of some of her current issues just that I don't think it's all that alarming or that it's being ignored or not treated. That's all. Then again no one even knows for certain whether she is in fact currently seeing anyone but I'm not going to assume this display of drawing on the walls is evidence that she isn't seeing someone. Maybe this particular topic is an ongoing work in progress, who knows.

Honestly, why would a therapist say no? I mean I'm sure there are bigger fish to fry when it comes to Kim's therapy. And if he/she did say IXNAY on the scribbling how do we know that the therapist isn't working through that with her CURRENTLY? But I maintain that drawing on rented walls ain't that much of a big. Walls can easily be painted over. And yes I agree reality tv is NOT for her but her popping up here and there doesn't bother me. I say it's a bit of a risk but at the end of the day, Kim still has the right to make these kind of dodgy decisions. Having mental illness doesn't mean she isn't allowed to make the same questionable decisions as anybody else. I think my point is that her exhibiting what we believe is her mental health journey is just that. Her journey. I think it's safe to say she has some officially diagnosed issues so I think it's pretty par for the course to see some evidence of that when she does show up on our screen. Doesn't mean she isn't getting any or enough help. As long as she's safe and doing her best then I think that's all anyone can expect. We will never truly know just how fragile or solid anything in her life truly is because we don't have the inside knowledge to come to a complete conclusion. All I know is that I hope things are going well and there isn't any outward evidence to suggest she's spiraling like she was before so I'm gonna choose to believe that she's getting along as best as she can and is healthier than she's been.

This has been my pet peeve ever since Sutton joined the show. Diana did that last year and Crystal also did it during her first season although not a aggressively. It's a pick me characteristic that I've learned to loathe. Enter a group, assess who the antagonizers are and do what's necessary NOT to be on the receiving or those people. I don't hate the survival instinct cause ya know it's all survival of the fittest but what I will never get behind is grabbing the low hanging fruit and making the target your target as well to PROVE to the mean girls that you've understood the assignment so now your one of them. I guess some people truly justify this behavior but telling themselves that the target wouldn't be such a target if they would only control their behavior or wouldn't give out so much ammunition against themselves. I never liked the idea that Sutton is to be punished for being socially awkward and that's pretty much what I see happen season after season. I still have a bit of a grudge with Crystal because she truly did try to create a scandalous storyline against Sutton just to follow suit in the whole "pick on Sutton" campaign. I'm happy Sutton and Crystal have moved passed it but that still bugs me. Diana came right out and attacked Sutton as well without actually knowing her personally just knowing about an event that didn't sit well with Rinna and now Annemarie has jumped in the ring based on second hand information she got from a bitter Kyle who is currently mad at Sutton. I'm the type of bitch that would have started with "Wait, who are you again?" That's received badly by the women "Oh that's so mean" but I'd follow that up with "Is it? Ummmm, this woman who I don't know is trying to speak on my medical issue as if she has all the right in the world and I'M being mean? No ma'am!"

I feel like the assumption that she ISN'T seeing anyone is a wrong assumption to make. It may be a bit oddball but it isn't dangerous and I have a feeling that Kim does has some sort of treatment going on in her life so whatever that is probably also takes into account her life routine and what her daily routine looks like. I think viewers tend to think because she doesn't look perfect and completely put together that she lacks regular therapy but in reality people who go to therapy on the regular still have off days or still exhibit behaviors and tendencies that may seem odd to others. Maybe that's as good as it gets for Kim. That her drawings are just something harmless that assists with whatever treatment plan she is on. What we've seen just might be the best its been in a while and although a bit weird or odd to some doesn't make it alarming.

Taking notes from the TMCFR.

Thing is I don't believe that her co workers are actively or deliberately ignoring that aspect. I think they are pointing out the big changes Kyle has made to outline her marital issues for the shows and her storyline for this season. We as the viewers are putting this information so closely together because this information is being shared with us in such a compact way that we end up drawing these conclusions. The women don't want to come right out and point to Kyle's marriage or ask the direct question so they are dancing around reasons that they feel can justify their curiosity. The excess working out, the lack of her wedding ring and yes her not drinking. Her friends death can most certainly be a reason and mostly like is for her behavior but doesn't mean it's the only thing so I think the women are just utilizing ALL the changes as a way to get to discuss her marriage. I don't think they are being purposely obtuse about Kyle's loss I just think they feel there more's contributing than just that plus they've been able to witness what's changed SINCE her friends death and maybe they are referring to some additional behaviors that are very recent. Plus, if Kyle's revelation about not wanting to feel depressed is new to them then I don't see how they would have known that her stopping drinking was because of that.
