If you go back and watch episodes from the first few years of the program "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" you will see how abusive Kate was to Jon. I stopped watching the program because Kate was so abusive . I am a retired Clinical Psychologist and know abuse when I see it. I was always surprised that people did not complain. Please watch for yourself. In one episode Jon could not walk down an aisle in a toy store the "CORRECT" way.
