Rachel and her ex’s new girlfriend
I don’t know if this has already been brought up, but I’m currently watching season 15 (not finished it yet) and I really want to talk about Rachel and the whole situation with her ex’s new girlfriend.
It seems so obvious to me that Rachel herself doesn’t want her children to have anything to do with this woman, yet she seems to have convinced herself that it’s actually the children who don’t want her around. Her verbal and nonverbal reactions whenever the subject comes up make that especially clear to me.
And I feel like the children pick up on it too. The way they react, both verbally and nonverbally, makes me feel like they’re very aware of how their mother feels and are trying to be loyal to her and avoid hurting her feelings. So they end up being put in the middle of a situation that, to me, seems to be driven much more by Rachel’s feelings than by their own.
I don’t even think Rachel is aware that she’s doing this.
Am I the only one who picked up on this and felt the same way?
