  1. Kim has been manipulative and insincere from the start, and orchestrated this whole family scenario with lies and deception, he probably just came up with this ‘separation’ thing to start a new storyline and internet, so she can continue to capitalize on her kids, family, and situations. Pretty pitiful, but the kids are very honest, and I do like to see the stories about them and Barry, too. Kim is just not a nice person, at all.

  2. I Agree 100% = Kim IS & ALWAYS Has Been Extremely Manipulative & If I were a “Betting Person,” I would lay my Odds on Kim presently having an Ongoing Affair with her Jamaican Man Nigel = who she says “She supposedly met Him while She was “Working Out” @ a Local Gym, & she was laughing loudly at a Video she was watching online!”

    She was like a 16 Year Old Teenage Girl = ALL Smiles &’Giggling = when She invited Nigel to Her Marital Family Home to make them All Dinner! Not to mention that Kim was MOST Disrespectful to Barry while discussing Her & Nigel’s time parameters for “Meeting” @ Gym to “Work Out!”

    My Family, Friends & I also Wonder how many times Kim has had Nigel and/or other Men up to Her “Bachelorette Pad” ABOVE the Dance Studio to spend the night, which BARRY Provided for Kim! She had 2 Wine Glasses sitting in clear view in her new Studio Kitchen!

    She had made it Crystal Clear that one of her Main Reasons for being such a Strict, OVER Bearing, Protective “Hover Mother” was because Kim said early on in the Show that “HER Mom as an Alcoholic”?!? WHY is Kim suddenly becoming a Party Animal, Drinking Booze with Her Older Children, wearing SHORT, Tight Mini Skirts, Low Cut Tops & dancing to Old Music like a NEW College Girl ?!?

    She has already Destroyed EVERY Relationship With ALL of Her Older Children just by HER Control Freak Nature with tthe Kids AND Barry = who Kim completely Controlled for 24 Years!! Now, She Suddenly “Bails & Jumps Ship” on the Little Girls = Only to have Lydia now “Pick Up The Pieces” & FINISH Raising the remaining 3 Children, by Cooking, Cleaning as well as Home Schooling them = PLUS Her Lydia’s new Job @ the Bank!!!

    Kim is an Exceptionally POOR Example of a “Mother & Wife!” She SHOULD just Pack Her Bags & MOVE to Jamaica with Nigel!! SHE Would Be NO GREAT LOSS to ANYONE in Plathville = to include Her ENTIRE Family!!

    Barry WILL Do a MUCH Better Job of raising His Younger Family Members & Keeping them ALL Close to His Heart! ,
    He SO Deserves A Sweet, Kind, Christian Woman Who TRULY RESPECTS & APPRECIATES Barry for “WHO” He Is = and NOT a Lying. Manipulative, Controlling Evil Woman like Kim!! She WILL End Up Being a VERY Lonely OLD Woman = just as She Deserves!! Karma IS Real…..
