Quote From: mayzeegrlI have not seen the show yet as it has not aired, but from what I can see from some of the clips and information, I know it's going to be a disturbing show...
It hits home too close for me as I had a raging mother who went out of control also and verbally, mentally and physically abused me... No one intervened and no one believed me... The abuse affected me so badly that I ended up developing an eating disorder, being in major depressions, having suicide attempts, and very low self-esteem if any... I hope this show will be helpful as far as bringing awareness to hidden abuse that happens at home... It might even surprise people that women can be child abusers too... I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens on the show, but my prayers go out to the children and I hope there will be some way to get them to safety...
Why would it surprise people to know that a women could be a child abuser? You see it every day. Women who kill or maim their kids; women who kill their husbands in a rage; women who beat up other women; this is nothing new.
I am a woman and I'm a very strong woman with strong opinions and I'll tell you sometimes you get angry at people and there's this little corner of you that says....hey pop them in the mouth and its over with (you know, the old John Wayne "Somebody outta hit you Pilgrim but I ain't, no sir, I ain't; like he** I ain't") but you DON'T. You don't because that isn't they way intelligent people settle their differences; it isn't how we are supposed to treat those we care about, those we protect.
