Olivia has a contentious relationship with Kim and Barry Plath, stating that early in her relationship with Ethan, the parents were judgmental of many of her choices. In the first season, Olivia said, "I have felt very negative about Kim...Because even when Ethan and I were dating, I was criticized for what kind of toothpaste I used, or what I ate, or what I wore, or what I did. I feel like I was constantly critiqued. Literally every time I get in my car to go over there, my stomach is in knots.”[6] In response, Kim stated, "There’s been tension with Olivia and I for a long time because she thinks I’m too controlling...There were things, when they were engaged, that I know she thinks that I disapproved of, but I really didn’t. And the thing is, she never asked me. She never talked to me about it. I’ve just kind of accepted that as par for the course.”[6]
In the second season of Welcome to Plathville, Ethan confronted his parents about their behavior.[5] Since the confrontation, the couple refuses to communicate with the parents, even though that means they cannot talk with the younger children until they turn 18.[5] Olivia has stated that separating themselves from Kim and Barry "was the healthiest and best thing for [the couple];" since then, they have been "focusing on [themselves], focusing on moving and growing."[8]
In 2021, Ethan and Olivia moved away from Cairo, Georgia to create distance between themselves and the Plath parents.[9]
Olivia has stated that she and Ethan are "not ready for kids and ... need to heal and process [their] own childhoods before [they] bring another child into the world."[9]
On her Instagram, Olivia posted that she had contemplated suicide at the end of 2019.[8] In 2020, she "did some deep inner reflection, recognized unhealthy patterns, and started to lean into the discomfort."[8] Olivia is currently in therapy to heal from the trauma of her conservative upbringing, as well as the relationship between her and the Plath parents.[9]
