There’s something so sinister about Tim. He comes across to me as arrogant, controlling and obsessive. I do believe that he isn’t allowing Jackson to feed himself because he doesn’t like the mess and also because he lacks patience. I think it makes him really angry to sit there and see Jackson mush his food and spill it everywhere. It always seems to be him that is feeding Jackson.
it’s the same when Jackson is doing anything to be honest, Tim is always trying to direct Jackson and is always trying to control Jackson’s movements. He can’t seem to just let Jackson be, he has to be totally involved, directing him, asking him to do different things. If Jackson walks away when Tim is wanting him to do something, then Tim goes and brings Jackson back.
It’s the same with how he is constantly talking over Jen and correcting her all the time. No wonder Jen has no confidence and is too anxious to work a normal job or to drive. I think she has be belittled and undermined by Tim so much that she has lost her confidence. There’s no spark or life in her at all. I think Jackson will end up the same way.
I also found it weird how they were talking about putting a safety gate on the stairs at the top so that Jackson can roam more upstairs. They literally said that this isn’t to give him more freedom, it’s so that they can do jobs and keep an eye on him.
