She's really pushing it and projecting pretty aggressively. After hesitating and not recognizing Katie's phenomenon *crickets*, Gaines had said "....just..grey" in answer to which color she saw, which means she doesn't see color. But then Katie said: "Grey, which is a color, ...." Yeah right, Jan. That's really twisting the truth, and very telling for me personally that she isn't particularly intelligent.Boymomma123 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 4:11 pm What the hell was that livestream? They focused the whole thing around the fact that Katie sees letters and number as colors in her head? Why the hell would they think anyone wants a livestream about something like that? The favoritism/same person thing with Gaines is insane as far as Katie goes. She kept talking about how she thinks Gaines has it since it is hereditary not even a mention about Brooks maybe having it. In her messed up mind Brooks is all Cullen and Gaines is all her. This family has such an unhealthy dynamic.

In a sense she also shouldn't have asked that question, because kids are highly influence-able. In another instance she had done so too where after *crickets* by Gaines she had responded: Oh, I see black. I swear she's trying to stimulate it in Gaines.
Complementary she dismissed Cullen seeing letters. That's because she didn't listen, was quite dominant and projecting her expectations onto him of what she expected the answer should be and jumped on him with NO! He couldn't finish his thoughts nor what he was saying, which was that he then thought: Oh, you're not looking like a Josh. Which is an interesting experience, I wanted to hear more about, but Katie repressed his opinion. Before that he had said that he saw J-O-S-H. But Katie completely missed this all in her registering of what happened. She thinks its proven Cullen totally doesn't have it and Gaines does have it or most probably will. Brooks indeed, was totally forgotten. It was a moment that you could see in my opinion he is not in her emotional universe, only Gaines and Katie are, symbiotic-like and typical for a narcissistic bond.
I have that synergy phenomenon or whatever too. Katie wasn't even strong with it, I was thinking being annoyed by her, while she was quite bragging about it. With whole words she didn't know what to do in first instance as if totally new to her. Of course whole words have colors, what do you mean "how can whole words have colors?!" ?!?! It also surprises me she's still busy with this at age 35. When I was 35 this was long been-there-done-that, next!
As for now I think Katie is the problem in the marriage, after having seen these two not-having-to-edit-videos. She's a control freak because of underlying distrust/lack of trust and anxiety. Her result of that test: questioning everything, was quite bad imo and immature. The problem is that she is responding with a self-centered view and expecting Cullen to adapt to this, which isn't right, because unhealthy things, so to speak, should adapt to healthy things, and not the other way around. Cullen said she asked him to be who she wanted him to be and expressed insecurity with this in being conflicted about whether he should be himself or what she wanted him to be. The irony is that his result was much healthier and that it is sad if he really were to change in this aspect. Her problem is that she doesn't admit neither sees she has a problem and that she herself should change, not Cullen who has a perfectly normal attitude about things that are going to take place in the future. She was also whining and blaming that he didn't understand her and was under-emphatic (in context of given example), and she over-emphatic. So yeah I disagree with that one as well. The irony again was that she wasn't listening to Cullen when he spoke but was looking on her phone instead, quite impolite if you ask me and unpleasant for the viewer. And then there was her twisting of Cullen's result of that test. I could be wrong but they showed 2 pieces of text with explanations of the result and I didn't see what Katie was interpreting all wildly, not by far. She twisted his into a problem, and hers was so good and cute. Quite the opposite in my opinion.
and I don’t think it necessarily has to be diagnosed if you see colors in your head when you hear letters and numbers that is very strange I don’t think she would make it up. I have a condition called aphantasia where I have NO visual memory at all just black in my head all the time so it was kind of interesting to me.
