Quote From: krtroublegirlWHERE DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL SOMEONE A BAD MOTHER, AND TELL THEM THAT THERE CHILDREN NEED TO BE TAKEN AWAY? THATS NOT OUR JOB!!! DR. PHIL IS TRYING TO HELP THEM, AND YOU ARE HERE JUDGING THEM??? THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED THE HELP, MAYBE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE HAS NEVER SUFFERED FROM A DRUG ADDICTION, BUT I WORKED IN A REHAB WITH ADOLESCENTS, AND ITS NOT SOMETHING YOU JUST WAKE UP AND SAY, OKAY IM BETTER NOW....ITS NOT A BACK ACHE OR A HEADACHE! IT HAS BECOME A WAY OF LIFE, FOR THEM.....AND IT HAS SPUN OUT OF CONTROL....GIVE THE FAMILY A LITTLE CREDIT, FOR ASKING FOR HELP, AND GETTING IT!!! NOONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE IF SOMEONE IS A GOOD MOTHER OR NOT.....MY NATURAL MOTHER LEFT ME IN A CRIB FOR 2 WEEKS, I DEVELOPED SPINAL MENANGITIS, WAS DEAF AND PARALYZED AND HAD 3 CARDIAC ARESTS WHILE BEING LIFE STARRED, AT 6 WEEKS OLD.....AND TO THIS DAY I AM PERFECTLY NORMAL, BUT ENDED UP HAVING A DAUGHTER WITH SPINA-BIFIDA, AND HAVE HAD 13 SURGERIES, AND I HAVE NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER TO JUDGE WHAT MY NATURAL MOTHER WAS GOING THRU AT THE TIME, TO SAY SHE DIDNT DESERVE CHILDREN....PEOPLE DONT ALWAY AGREE WITH WHAT U DON AS A PARENT, BUT THE ONES WHO JUDGE, AND MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, ARE THE ONES WITH SKELATONS AND INSECURITIES OF THERE OWN.....JUST PRAY FOR THE GIRLS HEALTH, SO THEIR CHILDREN CAN BE HAPPY!!!!!
Our son, Billy had been addicted to prescription drugs plus drinking for years. He commited susicide on November 1st in S. Carolina while his wife was at work. He shot him self . He had tried rehab for years and years, in and out , with some of the best care and treatment ... But he never could beat the demon of the addition, and lord only knows he tried. He was 36 and had two boys, 13 and 15 that he left behind. I had open heart surgery in July which did not go well and was in the hospital for almost a month most of that time in intensive care. Bill's sisters, his Dad and I had to fly to S. Carolina (from Texas) with me in a wheel chair for the service. No parent should have to bury their child. I though I was going to die when I saw him. Guilt , angar, and feelings of letting him down overwelmed me and his Dad. My response to the twins is Good Luck Dr. Phil. I know you mean well, and really try to help familys in trouble. I do not give them a snow ball chance in Hell of making a go of it. I would like to know, if there are any stistics, how many you send for help ever make a good life for them selves after treatment.? Thanks for reading this message. Sue S greaving Mom of an addicted dead son.
