| I feel like the curtain has been pulled back exposing The Wizard of Oz. I found Jen a couple years ago after I came across her Disney resort unpacking and room set up video. I then watched several of her organizational videos. Although I didn't delve much deeper than a few organizational videos, I was very impressed with her and thought she lived a life one could envy.
Fast forward to present day, I stumbled upon this message board when I was looking up a different YouTube vlogger and noticed the section devoted to Jen. I started reading some of the threads which led me to watch some of her personal, non organization videos. Boy, I had no idea Jen was such a hot mess. She is quite an empty vessel, isn't she? Just goes to show you can wrap a present in pretty paper, ribbons and bows but what's inside could be a box of poo.
And by pretty ribbons and bows I'm referring to her life not her personally because she sure is a frumpy gal. What I once viewed as her looking down-to-earth and unpretentious, I now view as lack of effort to rise above the frumpiness. And after watching videos of her home, her house seems quite uninteresting as well. I was expecting more of a sprawling manor. I was left very unimpressed with the downstairs simply consisting of a linear front part and back part. Still a VERY nice house, just not what I was expecting.
I can't quite understand with all she has going for her, why she's so woeful. This goes back to my original assessment of her being an empty vessel. I wonder if she even knows what she needs in life to truly make her happy. She says it's her children but then she can't be bothered to attend that church performance (or whatever it was) instead opting to go to her Fitness class. I watched the one video of the snow day with her children. She took them outside but didn't really play with them. Just stood back and watched them jump around. That's not the makings of someone fulfilled by their children.
And it doesn't seem to be crafts that fulfills her with the looks of her craft room turned to a storage dump. And then with her crying in her hotel room when she was off on that glorious crafts retreat in Oregon. the only time she seemed to be at peace was when she was hiking alone enjoying nature.
I'd still take her life any day over mine; I just wonder what's missing in it for her. Maybe she is clinically depressed and needs to be on some medication. |

| Ah, I see, no mortgage. I knew they came from money I just didn't know how much. Paying cash for a $1.6 million dollar house. Wow! With that kind of money at her disposal, I'm surprised she doesn't have a nanny. Then she can have all the time in the world to for her craft projects in her glorious crafts room.
And if they aren't going to flinch at a $500,000 loss then why in the world is she bothering selling old bags online for $50? And stressing over the hassle, no less. Man, has she got issues.
Some people don't know how to be anything other than miserable. And her misery seems self-created for the most part. She lives a life most could only dream for.
Perhaps her problem is Medical. She ought to get her thyroid checked if she hasn't already, especially with her hair loss. I have a thyroid disorder that went undiagnosed for years. Your thyroid effects so many mental and physical areas. I went from being a social butterfly, traveling with my friends, out of law school about to live my best life, to slowly becoming a depressive hermit, not ever wanting to leave the house. Deep depression set in. I gained weight. My hair was coming out by the bushels. Suicidal thoughts. Lost all sexual desires. I stopped working, lost all of my friends because I just couldn't be bothered with them. My place was always a wreck just like Jen's office. I had no idea what was going on. Finally I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and got on medication. But even then it took a couple of years to get the levels adjusted correctly and find the right medicine combination for me. But let me tell you, once I hit the sweet spot with my medicine and I got my thyroid hormone levels functioning normally, it was like the fog had lifted and the Sun finally came back out. It was a complete 180 and I was back to my old self again. It was like I'd been sleepwalking all of those years and finally woke up.
Jen sounds a lot like me during that time.

| Hi guys, my first post. I've been lurking reading up on this saga. I've read a few back threads but then skipped to this most recent one to catch up. So perhaps this has been discussed, but maybe the reason why Jen has been so sullen is because they're going to get hosed if they have to sell their house in divorce.
Looks like they bought it in 2007 during the housing bubble when Real Estate was well overvalued. They paid $1.66 million and now it looks like it's only worth about $1.19 million. Based on the comprables in their neighborhood, that lower figure sounds about right.
I can't imagine having a mortgage for $1.66 million but only being able to get $1.19 million for it and then having to cough up the difference. That's almost a $500,000 loss. No wonder she's selling bags online now. Every little bit helps. 
Jen said she fell in love with the fireplace. Well, that was one very expensive fireplace that they were willing to pay almost $500,000 more than they should have for the house. I hope they at least get to roast some marshmallows in the thing.
Taking such a huge financial hit might not be practical. They both might have to stay in the house with Don living in the basement, only popping up to cook the kids some meat.  for all we know that's where he's been and why we haven't seen him. |
