I don’t like her and I think she was ridiculous for crying and sobbing, acting like she’s oh so relatable but I do feel sorry for the kids if they’re struggling. I’m sad for them.
oh yeah, absolutely feel sorry for the kids as i have no doubt they are struggling. i was only a year older than the twins when my parents went thru an incredibly messy divorce, and altho Tash keeps saying her relationship with James is amicable in front of the kids, they will pick up on the abrasive attitudes and scathing remarks made to friends and family members etc, even if it's all fake smiles in front of the children, they absorb everything and will pick up on comments that Tash doesn't even realise they have overheard. and obviously also the emotional impact on the kids, which is obviously being reflected in their behaviour - and in that respect, i'm glad that they are getting the support they need to help them process the situation and work thru their emotions, but they would undoubtedly feel more safe and secure and less uprooted if Tash focused her attention on them when they are with her, rather than at her phone. and honestly, if she has recieved so much advice from a professional child psychologist, surely that was one of the first things she would have recommended? giving the kids the time and space to talk and ask questions, and express their emotions - whether that is tears, or rage or confusion, with advice on how they can do this in healthy way - plus just spending time with them, engaging with them, playing with them.
tash seems to palm them off on the nanny, and spend most of the time she has custody of the kids with her face glued to SM, so no wonder the kids are struggling emotionally whnr they have lost their dad from their daily life, yet feel disconnected from the parent they live with because Tash is so absent in their lives, and whilst it's only the image we have of her from SM, she often comes across as incredibly cold, and not a very warm, affectionate person, when that comfort and reassurance is what the kids are going to be craving in order to feel safe, as their entire world has been tipped upside down! the kids spend time with their dad regularly, so she has a decent amount of time to herself to focus on SM and talking photos and creating reels and nights out with friends and etc, plus when the twins are at school - there is absolutely no excuse for her to be relying solely on a therapist to seemingly fix her children's emotional struggles without contributing to supporting them herself. shi
