Quote From: flthomcatSounds like a great show.
Hopefully what will not be lost is the fact that we individuals make CHOICES and need to be responsible for those choices. Women often choose MEN (and crime) over their children. And WHY would a mature, responsible "mother" continue to bring children into the world when she's not in a happy, healthy, committed relationship???
It's time we stop being VICTIMS and take control of our own lives, putting our children's NEEDS first and foremost. We owe it to ourselves and to them (and to GOD) to right ourselves and lead good, decent lives.
God bless the women on the show; may they change their bad behaviors for good and may their children learn from their many mistakes.
The choices that both of my parents have chose with there lives is sad. I haven't seen my mom in 9 years and my dad in 11. From that I am saying, I am a mother of 2 children and my job is in home childcare. The only thing I can say is just like women that get abused, we all have choices that you talk about. We are all human, we all make mistakes. This is my parents third time in prison in the past 28 years. I am 23 years old. My brother took what his life was before when my dad was a drug dealer and he consumed them, and became a ragging alcoholic. I have made choices that I don't want to live with also, but I put all of that into Gods hands everyday of my life. Most women don't choose their children over the men and bad choices but most of the women have no education and no job. The man puts the food on the table and clothes on their babies. I understand why my mother stayed with my father for all 29 years of their marriage, in which are still married. Put yourself in that position with an 8th grade education, 2 small children, no money, and a man to support all of that. I'm not saying it's right but today I would not be the person I am without a lot of bad happening in my life. I am a lovning mother and love all of the children in my care everyday. I made a promise to my children, and until the mothers that are in prison find that they did do something wrong and take the hardest path in their lives they will keep going back to that. Both of my parents have never met all 4 of their grandchildren. 2 of mine and 2 of my brothers. Someday hopefully they will be able to get out and see us and them.
