I'm glad Ethan along with the older siblings can see Olivia's selfish and controlling issues. She treated Ethan poorly early in the marriage, and watching it was frustrating, to say the least. I'm glad Ethan has found his voice and we can thank Olivia for that!
Ethan’s mother and Olivia could never get along because they are so much alike! Ethan hit the nail on the head when he said his mother was the neck that turned his father's head!! Some of the mothers' qualities he sees in Olivia's behavior.
