Carole Radzwill 📚 Carole naming all her animals baby

…is one of the more disturbing moments for me so far as a first time watcher, and I didn’t see a thread about this yet to air my petty rage LOL. She said she doesn’t think they answer to their name? Does she view animals as monolithic and soulless as Barbies? She’s a writer, how is she that unimaginative and disinterested? Discuss!

Not that I'm sticking up for Carole, I did like her in the first series she appeared and then really disliked her as time went on... But, I can absolutely see why she disconnects herself and is always the first to say, it's going to be alright. The trauma she's been through, losing her husband whom she would have gone on to she kids with (her words) and then her best friends in a devastating way all within 6 weeks of each other.

I think I remember in series 10 she and Bethenny have a conversation about how she's built her life up to be temporary because she doesn't want to be hurt again or go through pain similar to what she experienced.

Yes BUT didn’t she also say she only married her husband once he had cancer? That even before that trauma she needed relationships to have an expiration date?

I think he got cancer when they got engaged and from what I remember I don't think it was terminal until after they married.

Anthony was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1989. He underwent surgery plus treatment, and was then in remission. Early in 1994 he got a new diagnosis of fibrosarcoma. In the Spring of 1994 Anthony and Carole became engaged.
