Interesting. I've thought about this too. I do think he built an image of her in his head that was close to perfection. Maybe he needed to stick to that image of her. Katherine is in a very hard place. Unfortunately, she has excused bad behaviour in men in her family for far too long. It's old fashioned and kind of misogynistic. She could have stood up and changed some things because she may have had the power to do so. I am loathe to comment too much cos of lack of knowledge of what has happened.
I just worry for the kids. I don't like the way Jackie took Prince to the game with Prince sporting a T shirt from the line Jackie is promoting. It is relatively harmless, but I feel sorta sad the family always seems to do nice things with an ulterior motive. It's ominous, cos God knows what schemes the kids will be forced into, in the future. The kids don't have any other family.
It's all so murky.
