Discussion Unknown Number High-school Catfish Spoiler

What the hell did I just watch? And what the hell was this person thinking?

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

I echo so many of these other comments and am just sitting here in shock and disgust. I am nauseous reading the texts telling her own daughter to kill herself and that she was ugly and anorexic. Severe mental issues. I know some moms with issues, but this is truly insane!

One issue that I haven't read other comments about is how did her husband not know she didn't have a job for 6-12 months?!?! No paycheck? I know they were having financial issues, but no paycheck would be obvious. If I said I had a 1-2 jobs and didn't have anything to show for it, my husband would be asking questions around week 2.

And they moved multiple times due to finances. How did they afford to keep moving. So many details neglected.

It sounds like she was financially abusive to her husband. To the point where he couldn't even see their bills or bank statements. I think he suffered years of abuse under her just like their daughter and was slowly beaten down. The abuse to his kid was the straw that broken the camels back and snapped him out of it.

She took care of the finances, and she invented persuasive lies and excuses for the shortage of funds.

my husband would be asking questions around week 2.

But you're not abusive, and Kendra clearly is. Never understimate the skill of an abusive person to deceive, manipulate and control.
