‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Carlin Bates Shares Emotional Moment With Family

Carlin recently took to IG to share a clip of them spending their last night in their home before moving to the new one. Carlin and Evan sat on the floor with their kids. Evan is visibly reminiscing about all the memories they had in the house. Carlin then did her kids’ last routine in their home before sleeping. The Bringing Up Bates star wrote, “lowkey can’t believe this chapter is over 🥲.” Many fans are still surprised that Carlin and Evan left their house shortly after installing a swimming pool, which cost them a huge sum of money. Regardless, Carlin is ready to make new memories in their new home, and some fans cheer for them.

• “Congratulations on your new home but boy this had me 😢”
• “When Layla said you’re the best Carlin in the whole world 🥹🥹🥹”
• “As excited as you are to start making memories in your new house, saying goodbye to the old house is so bittersweet 🥹❤️”

Carlin Suffered The Same Trauma As Katie?

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed Carlin’s current health condition. She previously documented her healing journey after suffering from seizure-like symptoms. It resulted in her doctors restricting her from driving for two years. Carlin barely mentioned her recovery since, making many fans curious about what happened. Several commenters stated that Carlin’s condition heals on its own. But it’s commonly triggered by psychological distress, trauma, or severe stress. This led to some people speculating that Carlin may have suffered the same traumatic childhood in the past as her sister, Katie. This may also be the reason as to why Carlin remains close to Katie, who publicly shared that she lost “90%” of her relationships with her family.

• “I think she has PNES Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures, which look exactly like epileptic seizures but are triggered by psychological distress, deep-seated trauma, or severe stress, rather than abnormal electrical brain activity.”
• “she didn’t officially say it but she definitely had PNES which is psychogenic non epileptic seizures. It’s a functional neurological condition triggered by stress/trauma/etc. she probably has had trauma in her childhood/in her life growing up in a cult so it’s not surprising. It likely just resolved with time and working through issues and lowering her stress levels.”
• “After everything Katie has said I have a feeling the Bates daughter’s may have similar chuldhood trauma to the Duggars.”
• “I’m actually dubious that it was her Instagram stories and wonder if it was something related to what Katie has alluded to recently.”
