This is just heartbreaking!
In old vlogs Isabelle had an outing, bubbly and enthusiastic personality and wanted to become a vet and travel the world- now the poor girl has no education, no friends (not any that she speaks to in real life anyway, as she’s never out) and is scared or nervous for everything.
Yes Ezmé was loud, but she had friends so it was slightly toned down compared to what it’s like now. She was clearly much happier, much more lively and in general was less attention seeking.
Poor ‘little’ Isla, who went from having all the attention to being the forgotten child. She was the only girl interested in learning, seemed to be the most extroverted child and has suffered greatly due to loss of friends. She quite literally had the world at her fingers, she had a very sweet personality and it’s clear she had lots of friends - now she has nothing! No friends, no education, likely not even any savings to fall back on
Sarah, those girls a few years ago who were bubbly, outgoing, enthusiastic and ambitious are children who have a ‘zest for life’. They are unrecognisable now-a-days as they have no education, limited contact with anyone outside their immediate family and have not socialised with children their own age since starting homeschooling.
