Am pretty sure she is gout to keep "relapsing" into shopping and the husband needs to be ready to pull her back.

That was exactly what I thought. She has such dead eyes, odd blinking and flat affect, only showing distress when called out. Her unwillingness to learn to drive, and cold interaction with her hubby....she is imitating human interactions....badly!! Her wooden speech at the end repeating what she had heard regarding child needs was off-putting and creepy.

Good observation. I’m going to watch for people who keeps tears on their face

[@vannisworld]

@@EyeTapTapThruAds the natural reaction is to wipe them away. When a person is manipulative, they will keep them as long as possible.

I don't understand why not go the library why spend 80 dollars you don't have whatsoever

[@vivianblack2951]

I worked in a library and you don't want to see the condition that some of the books are returned in. If it's too bad you can be charged. Going the garage sale way is the best option.

The wife looks miserable

Child support for the other 2?

Darlene doesn’t seem happy.

[@roxroxroxgrace]

I think Darlene is clinically depressed to be honest.

[@lucydawson1344]

I came on to post the same thing. Her whole demeanour is incredibly familiar as someone who suffers with mental health issues myself and I also have issues with shopping that get worse when I’m extremely down or anxious

Gail should have show like Dave Ramsey. It could be like the Canadian version of The Ramsey Show.

"If I want something you can bet I'm going to get it". Holy crap!!!! That poor guy!!! She is so demanding!!!

[@judymcpheron5955]

Wonderful results Gail. Seems like such a nice family. Gail you look MARVALOUS Darling. Your hair is gorgeous! 🇺🇸💕 U

The woman looked better at the end. I’m hoping she had a breakthrough.

[@parklady4233]

Watch out for people who won’t drive. Unless they are disabled, of course. It just doesn’t make sense not to learn to drive and drive when you have kids and a car.

[@1anythingandeverything]

that's ridiculous to say watch out for people who don't drive. there are plenty of reasons why some people don't drive

[@janebaker4912]

Is her ex watching this and feeling validated.

[@4tunecookieclub]

i wish they would have done followups on these couples. i BET that woman hasnt really changed.
