She also wasn’t fully aware of how much of her personal information and life story had been publicized over the wider internet 10 years ago. She knew her son was getting harassed online but that was the extent of it (I think? I know Bob bought into the horribly incorrect belief that there was a conspiracy ran by Michael Snyder and Megan that there was a network of trolls and “sleeper agents” actively fucking with his son both IRL and over the internet. Not sure how much Barb herself knew).
Nowadays she wouldn’t give a fuck happens to her reputation— she barely leaves the house, doesn’t interact with the community or even attend church (Bob was the one usually going with Chris, not her) and all of her living relatives want nothing to do with her. Plus it’s been shown that elderly people usually mellow out around the time they enter their final years of life. Chris has been asserting himself to her more and more, and she’s been slowly putting less and less effort to try and control him.
The years of living stressfully though will eventually take it’s toll on Barb and something’s gotta give eventually. She may not have had a history of heart disease like Bob did but rest assured she probably won’t make it very far past 85. My best guess for how much time she has left falls somewhere between 4-7 years, and that’s me being generous. And Chris will most likely continue to take pictures of her to prove she’s still “alive and well” even though she’ll be literally falling apart. Whatever dignity on her deathbed she may have still had is gone.
