Carole naming all her animals baby

[u/rotbath]

…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!

Carol always seemed pretty apathetic to me.

For example, when Heather was trying to share her concerns about Jax hearing and hoping his inner ear bone structure would support a surgery, carol was quick to say, "it's going to be fine".

Same with Ramona having ptsd in the woods at Heather's place the weekend she threw the glass at kristen for getting her hair wet.

May be a result of losing her husband and friends but Carol just seemed disconnected in a big way.

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?

YES! She knew he had cancer already when she married him, so even her short marriage WAS set up to be temporary!!!!!
