‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Katie Bates Reveals Shocking Truth With Family

Last month, Katie took to social media to share a lengthy message, announcing her complicated status with her family. According to the Bringing Up Bates star, she decided to talk about her past, specifically the hardships she went through during childhood. Katie revealed that the majority of her family didn’t take it well. Some of them didn’t offer any help, while others chose to stay silent. However, Katie decided she’s no longer holding back about her past. It’s unclear if she’s going to become more transparent about it as time passes. This led to some fans talking about what she may have tackled that resulted in the family’s fallout.

What Exactly Is Katie’s Childhood Trauma?

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed Katie’s possible childhood trauma. According to the OP, they think Katie was referring to their culture of “early marriage.” It’s no secret that getting married early has always been part of the Bates family and even the Duggars. One example is the most recent wedding in the Bates family, Warden and Kaybrie. Warden just turned 23 last month, and the newlywed couple has shared that they have only dated for several months. However, others think Katie had a realization about how questionable their beliefs were.

• “I honestly think the “trauma” she is referring to is probably her upbringing and the realization that she grew up in a cult where things are definitely not normal and not okay.”
• “Alyssa distanced herself probably because the house was pure chaos 97% of the time. I dont think religious trauma was a reason for her because she basically traded one devil for another with her FIL.”
• “Katie’s ‘trauma’ might be as simple as being a female….had household chores, had another child she was responsible for, taught to be a ‘girl (no pants, cover up clothing, be modest, cook, clean,) home schooled, no friends outside the ‘faith’.”
• “You bring up a point that I have been wondering. I know many people are speculating that the trauma could be similar to what the Duggar girls have faced, but I’ve wondered if it may have been a therapist guiding her as she acknowledges that her childhood was traumatic.”
