Katie is a complex person. She isn't "good" or "evil", she is just human like the rest of us.
However, unlike most people, she's done a lot of bad, and even unforgivable, things in the past few years. She hasn't yet learned from her mistakes, so she's doomed to repeat them.
Katie's problem is that she never takes the time to heal from trauma.
-She was assaulted a child and nearly molested by a dodgy photographer. Despite this, her mother kept taking her to modelling shoots (and the rest is history...)
-She had a series of shit boyfriends prior to Pete. Again, she didn't take the time to heal from these relationships. She just bounced to the next one.
- She never seemed to stop and think about Harvey's condition. When he was diagnosed, she took a very "I don't care, everything will be fine" approach to it. Again, I think she needed some time/ counselling to come to terms with it.
Since Pete, she has been through a lot more, but she still doesn't stop. She just keeps going. There's never any counselling, time alone, and so on, which is what she needs.
I hope she does have a real friend, someone who can take her to her GP and get her back on track.
I was a fan of KP for many years, but I can't get past just how far she's spiralled over the past 2 years. I'm amazed that she has any fans left now. Despite this, I wish her, and more importantly her children, well.
