The mom said that she was hit by a car when she was 18 and had scars. This came up when she was trying to comfort her oldest DIL about insecurities. The mom said she used to wear pants at the beach, because she was so self-concious of her scars. Speaking of the mom, I agree that she seems fearful, but even more so I see such strain and tension in her face. She looks like she has been through hell and back. I enjoyed reading all of your opinions and I agree that there is major dysfunction here. I also have another theory I didn't see mentioned: I had read that there was past abuse (Bill Putnam hitting his wife, I forgot her name). If that was the case, I wonder if she and the adult kids feel the need to stick around to keep the dad from getting violent. The dad needs them around for his own neurotic needs and they need to be there, because they feel the need to protect their mom. I'm just speculating. Anyway, I enjoy this show with all of it's dysfunction, because I have never seen anything like this and it boggles my mind.
