I think she does, she just feigns ignorance because she thinks it’s beneath her to do what the vast majority of people do every day (work, do chores, look after children or other people perhaps). The naive damsel in distress act was a joke 20 years ago but she was pretty which hooked her Ioan, now it’s just tragic.She doesn’t have a clue how the world works, does she?
I understand it’s hard to let get of the past, especially when your looks gave you a good, fun and easy time of things. It’s hard when that goes and real life kicks in, but she has two daughters and an education. If she just had the courage to let go of the past and move forward she could have done well for herself. Does she really want to hawk her divorce woes on Loose Women when she could use her languages to earn a living, for instance?!
Now she is becoming the mad woman in the attic everyone will slowly edge away from when the next circus hits town. She is a fool if she doesn’t see that coming and she doesn’t change tack.
