Quote From: beckyleighIf Dr. Phil can do something with Aunt Enza, I think the girl and her mom will be okay. Enza needs to butt out and stay at her own house. This woman has gotten this young girl so torn and confused. I believe that her mother loves her and is trying to help her. Teens can be very difficult, and being the perfect parent is difficult too. A mother and daughter can go through struggles together, help each other and survive it....as long as there is not a negative influence like Aunt Enza.
Good luck Dr. Phil......
Still can't believe some of you still think the aunt is 99% of the problem. The aunt didn't raise the child...mommy did. The aunt is not in the house with the child all the time; mommy is. The aunt isn't the one making bad choices that affect the children...mommy is (HOPEFULLY WAS...past tense).
The "struggles" you mentioned between mother and daughter were not NORMAL struggles. There's a big red flag when a 10-yr-old is having sex and a mother's response is to take her for birth control! That should one HUGE red flag and it does say LOADS about the mother.
All the women in this chaotic, dysfunctional family had problems. HOPEFULLY they are all working on themselves AND their relationship with the problemed teen. God bless her, them and everyone else in this horrible living situation. Life is just too short to be so miserable!
