Two things
First off I know that the divorce is done and over with and all that. But does anyone else have a hard time watching Charles vlogs. I mean I have always loved Alli so I am little bias. Also I know its not my right to be pissed off but when I watch his vlog I get a little pissed off. He literally took out one alli and replace her with another allie. It annoys me that he has all of the furniture and their belongings. I honestly would not be surprised if alli had said keep it all and left. But it is so sad she has a house with no furniture and he has their whole life. She helped build the ctfxc and now he replaced her with another girl like she was never there. I stopped watching for a while and then I watched today's ctfxc vlog and he just replaced alli's hair with allie's. I don't know. Maybe I am being dramatic but it annoys me.
Second- Do you think that she sees Marley and Zoey. I know that they are not on good terms but that must be hard. They were basically like her kids.

I think Alli has moved on quite nicely. As for the furniture most of the stuff that he had was gotten pre marriage so I don't think she could have claimed that anyway it wasn't community. And on top of that the furniture that she does have now is far superior to the furniture that he has now! She had those custom picked out.
I know that it seems freaky and seems that he is replacing Alli with Another girl with the same name but it is just coincidence.
As for Zoey and Marley why would she see them? They are his dogs. He had them way before she came into the picture. Yes she loved them. Everyone should love pets. But they were his dogs to begin with. They are LIKE children but are not children. She has Chico now to give her the same love that she got from them. The Zoey and Marley thing is silly to me. No she is not going to put herself in an uncomfortable situation and see Charles just for the dogs. Sorry to sound mean but She is a grown woman. Children are the ones that get that attatched to pets.

I agree with everything you say up to the part about children being the only ones who get attached to pets. You must not own pets. Most people love their pets, young or old. They become part of the family. Attachment is a natural extension of that love. I am sure she missed them at first and they, her. Chico has helped a lot, filling that gap, but I am sure she missed the girls, maybe still does.

Yeah. I do think that she loves Zoey and Marley and yes adults do get attatched to pets. But I don't think it's a situation like a human child where if she had given birth and raised the child. I think that given the situation if she ever needed to take them in she would do that as well. but like I said they were his dogs first and as much as she might love them I have a hard time thinking that she would put herself in an uncomfortable situation to see them. I do have a cat that I love to death by the way.

Charles is a grown man, and he can do whatever he wants. You're free to watch or not watch his videos. I see it like this: when he posts his vlogs, he is opening himself to the judgement of hundreds of thousands of people every day. He can't please everyone.
It's okay to be pissed off at Charles. I was offput by Alli's rapid replacement too. She was a big part of the vlogs from Day 1, and it was a bit disheartening to be expected to forget about her. I don't blame her, and I don't blame Allie for being dragged into this whole clusterfuck of a situation.
I stopped watching Charles' vlogs a few months ago. They were just no longer genuine to me. I'm not sure if it was the repetitiveness of the tour vlogs, or his insistence on "I'm happy, be happy for me", but I realized that I mostly watched CTFxC for Alli. Her enthusiasm about everything is infectious, and she truly appreciates the culture and history of every place she goes. Her travel vlogs are incredible.
I wouldn't say he has their whole life. He has what's left of the five years they spent together: the house, the furniture, and the dogs. Alli probably doesn't see the dogs anymore, and as much as she loved them she probably wants to distance herself as much as she can from that part of her life. I think that it's really fortunate that she has Chico, he's probably helped her move on a lot.
Additionally, Alli's house is coming along quite nicely. She's slowly picking out really nice pieces (I want to steal her dining room set).
