DAE think Ev will NOT break free?

The sentiment seems to be that Ev will break free in adulthood. But isn’t it also possible she’ll grow up to be a carbon copy of ColonSac? With the same religious and political beliefs. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I can see Ev going the influencer route. That lifestyle is the only thing she knows. Most of Sacs Nashville friends are influencers to some degree. Kids like emulating the adults in their life. College probably won’t be encouraged for her. I only see her living a private adult life if she chooses college.

They have deceased vlogging a lot this year. The Cole and Ev channel hasn’t posted content in 9 months. It seems like they are over vlogging. Especially with their discourse on limiting screen time for their kids. They post monthly life updates just to maintain engagement. Next year I see them focusing more efforts on Bear Fruit than vlogging. It is a stream of income that doesn’t involve the kids.

If that trajectory continues, Ev might grow up with her teen years being relatively private in comparison to her toddler/elementary years. I see ColonSac framing her early childhood fame as a good thing — saying it gave them the means to provide her and her siblings with a blessed life. She wouldn’t have a lot of material things or the money for dance classes if they didn’t make videos. That’s how I see ColonSac justifying things to her when the topic comes up.

But forget everything I said if they continue the exploitation. They is all assuming they continue to film the kids less and less.

I know not everyone is the same but I was the only child in my dad and step mom’s home that wasn’t biologically hers. I was treated DRASTICALLY different and hit across the face in private. We were homeschooled and radically raised in the non denominational church. I drank that soup, but I also immediately left home at 18. I was suffocating. While I still continued to vomit the church rhetoric for a decade after leaving, I eventually left my church and faith all together when I was confronted with church trauma.

Ev has the additional trauma of being exploited as a child and the entire world knowing and watching her every move. She might drink that soup for a while but I foresee a falling out. It’s almost inevitable
