We’ve been wondering why on earth Kim Plath raised her kids in such a restrictive way, and what on earth happened to make her make such a sharp right into fundieville when she herself wasn’t raised that way. Thanks to her meeting for drinks with son Micah Plath and a little liquid courage in the form of a margerita, we finally got some insight into what’s been eating at Kim all these years, and the truth behind what why she raised her children the way she did is not pretty at all.
As it turns out, when Kim was a little girl around 4-5 years old and according to her, her own Mom, a single parent, was doing the best she could at the time, she had a neighborhood teenage boy watch young Kim.
Welcome to Plathville: Some insight into Kim Plath
While Kim didn’t say the word ‘molestation’ in the conversation, it’s clear to see that that’s what was being implied. This also makes us wonder if some repressed memories from that time is not the reason that she started drinking again in the first place.
Oh yeah, that’s right, Kim Plath is drinking again. Barry Plath is staunchly anti-alcohol, but apparently not Kim, Kim will go out every once in awhile and have herself some margaritas. This makes one wonder if this was perhaps the catalyst that collapsed it all, because Kim told Micah some things that she didn’t tell the girls.
She told him that she didn’t discuss her drinking with Barry, and that she had started seeing herself as an individual apart from him and that she’s at a point in her life where she feels like she knows God, knows her, she’s saved, and life is short so she needs to start living it.
When he asked if she had asked Barry about anything, she confided that Barry is extremely hard to connect with emotionally and that that is what she is craving and she can’t find that with Barry.
Micah said in his confessional that he used to want to ask Barry things and that he was always too intimidated to do so. He said that he felt like communication was extremely bad in their family, and we’re all starting to see that.
Now that we know where Kim is at… we kind of get why she’s gone so off the rails. It seems like she has a lot of unprocessed trauma in her life and she has had a very opposite knee-jerk reaction to it. Will Kim ever end up going to therapy for what she’s gone through? Stay tuned!!!
