The fan also presumed that Aubree telling her mother that she would go with her was probably her way of trying to make her mother feel more comfortable.
“I think it was obvious that Aubree could tell that Chelsea was nervous, but that Chelsea had said it could make her better, so Aubree was offering to go with her to make Chelsea feel more comfortable,” they wrote.
“It was such an insensitive way of handling things. Aubree is trying to help her mom get better and instead it’s being looked at like some out-of-left problem,” the fan concluded about the scene. “It was just really disappointing that they didn’t encourage her act of love and bravery.”
“Honestly I’m annoyed af about the whole Chelsea anxiety s**t. As someone who has really struggled from it (it even caused me to drop out out of college and move back in with my parents for a year), Chelsea is not doing what needs to be done to actually help the anxiety,” commented one fan. “She’s being selfish by letting this anxiety control her life and getting in the way of being a wife/mother/functional human.”
Other commenters saw the situation in another light.
“I saw it completely different. I saw Cole supporting the idea for Chelsea but then thrown for a loop when Aubree said she wanted to go,” they wrote. “I think therapy is good but if my child randomly said they wanted to go, my first thought would be that I missed something and she doesn’t feel comfortable talking to me and I would probably blurt something stupid out like Cole did.”
“I think this was a true parenting moment of being completely surprised and not giving yourself time to process before you try to ‘fiX’ it because you want life to be easy for your kids and struggle accepting that no matter how hard you try, life isn’t easy for anyone, especially children,” the commenter concluded.
