When I see the way Kimberly acts, specifically the covering her ears, screaming, and going from a 0 to 10 like the flick of a switch, I sit here wondering if this is truly who she is or just an acting scheme.
If she is truly like that the girl needs some serious help (in my opinion). It just seems like she can’t handle anything. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely situations in which she has been done dirty by lack of translation or insight into what’s going on.
Opinions, please: is she acting, or is this really who she is?
She strikes me as just being totally overwhelmed by everything going on around her, the screaming session at the end of last nights program, there seemed to be a lot of frustration involved in that, as well as not knowing how to communicate with someone who blatantly isn’t listening or understand - it’s meltdown territory - seem my ASD kids respond in the same way when they are totally overwhelmed.
She’s been lied too by her husband, she feels that no one has, or is telling her the truth, she can’t communicate with her mother-in-law, who very obviously sees her as a pain in the arse. TJ is very liberal in his interpretation of what is being said to her. TJ said it himself several times “she didn’t know what was coming” & he wasn’t going to tell her, which is an awful thing to do to someone who has moved to a completely new country, (with very different cultural expectations in regards to women & their roles within that society.) and very obviously thinks she can live according to her own culture, American society is completely different to Indian culture & no you can’t move to somewhere like India & demand everyone adapts to your way of living.
Kimberly really doesn’t seem to have done any research into the culture she’s married into, she says she wants to learn, but imo she should have done that before she married TJ
