Surprise of all surprises, Kim Plath has separated from Barry Plath and is living apart from the family. She said that in regards to hers and Barry’s marriage, that he was trying at first do the things that she needed done, but after awhile, when things still didn’t seem to be working, he stopped.
When she expressed the need to live apart from the family, she said that Barry cried. Talk about your revelations, we wonder what on earth was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Plaths? A lot of people have speculated that it could be unresolved grief over the son that they lost, Joshua. That could very well be true, in fact, there is a statistic that shows if a couple loses a child that they are very likely to split up.
Kim Plath is living apart from the family?!
But they seemed to be, at the very least, putting on a good face for the rest of the world during the first three seasons of the TV show. However, it’s not just one son that they’ve lost now, with Ethan, Micah, and Moriah all moving away and cutting off contact, Kim has had some things to think about when it comes to here children and what she is and isn’t willing to lose.
While Ethan may not have been the straw that broke the camel’s back, it may have been the combination of Micah and Moriah breaking away and Moriah not wanting her at her first show that finished waking Kim out of her uber-conservative slumber.
It could also be the fact that, things have been not so great for people in the Plath’s realm as well. There was the whole Joshua Duggar trial, and Kim, while she may not know The Duggars personally, she definitely has connections to that world and she will have definitely heard about what happened and how delusional the Duggars are being about their own problems.
Perhaps that is why she’s chosen to take some time to herself and re-evaluate life and her own family. This can only be a good thing. A lot of things in the news have rocked a lot of the really conservative circles lately, and Kim is probably not the only one who may be re-evaluating life, there could be a lot of people who aren’t televised who are doing the same. We’ll just have to keep watching to see if Kim and Barry Plath continue to stay Kim and Barry Plath. Stay tuned!!!
