The Truth About Welcome To Plathville's Season 2 Drama

Although Kim is openly judgmental, Bronstein feels Barry is more willing to compromise. However, he has issues with Olivia that have, demonstrably, caused a serious rift with his son whom, as Bronstein points out, tried his best to appeal to his father's better judgment by pleading with him to treat Olivia better. "It is never easy when a parent doesn't accept a child's spouse. One would hope that parents would be happy for their child if their child is happy, but unfortunately, not all families work that way," Bronstein notes.

Although the Plaths might live off the grid to a certain extent, she notes that avoiding the world isn't doing them any good, as "it doesn't help when you are shut-off to being open to someone who has a different lifestyle than you. Not everyone in the world will be exactly like you, not your kids, and certainly not your kids' spouses." Bronstein warns it's up to the Plath parents to make things right with Ethan and Olivia. She notes, "If Kim and Barry could get past their limitations and judgments, things could be more harmonious, and they could work out something."
