04/14 The Dr. Phil House: House of Greed

Quote From: suebonnetsue

 I only heard Sonja talk about the will, over and over and over. 

This whole thing has nothing to do with money or a will.  It's about what Dr.Phil said, Sonja uses the will to show who she loves and who she doesn't love.  It's never about the money.  It's always "see, this PROVES mom loved me best".   I would imagine that Lisa is desperate for some sign, any sign, that her mother EVER loved her since it seems pretty clear that she didn't.  It's not about the money, it's about the love, or lack thereof. 

Sonja gave her teenage grandchildren Christmas ornaments for Christmas and then got all hurt that they weren't thrilled with her gift?  What teen wants Christmas ornaments?   Did it occur to her to give them something that THEY wanted, not something SHE wanted to give them?  She is so totally self focused that she can't begin to think of what someone else may want.  She was horrible to that Granddaughter.  Poor girl deserves a better grandmother, one who thinks of the child, rather than only herself. 

Sonja is a horrible mother, both of her daughters deserve better.  I hope they can both leave her before they end up bitter old women like she is.  She doesn't deserve to have children, or grandchildren because she can't think of anyone but herself. 

You speak of lisa as if she is a troubled child, Lisa is 40 something, She act's like a troubled child, but she is not a child she is a adult, and should be responsible for her actions she took in this familys troubles, I know its hard to get passed what the mother said, she really didn't help herself in the first part of the show, but why is she so angery, with her daughter?  and how much is a mother to take from a middle age daughter, should she huge and kiss her for threating to call the police? screaming and cussing that happens across the fence, verbal abuse from daughters hubby, the TPing of her house and cake batter, verbal abuse to the younger teenage sister, What middle age adult daughter does that to her mother? would you, I hope not. You should act like a adult, walk away, we don't act like a child.

 

The Ornaments, how sad of a statement by you, the ornaments she said was to remember her by, My children use to get quilts from their great grandmother for X-mas something to remember her by, would they wanted a PSP instead, yes, but as I told them one day you will cherish them,  as I do.

Christmas is about giving not getting, To bad Lisa couldn't teach her children that, but I guess if you can't understand that yourself, how can she teach it.

Saying that you want to benefit from a death is wrong!

You said "This whole thing has nothing to do with money or a will",, There is a lifetime of stories that led up to this and the hurt cannot be fixed over night! Sonja is without a doubt, the central part of the problems! BUT Lisa is old enough to handle it in an adult manner, instead she came off acting like a child. Being an adult, does NOT including ANY mention of wanting to benefit from a death of another person. That is my point! Lisa and her daughter DID go on about the will and that is what I just can't understand! 

 

You said " Sonja gave her teenage grandchildren Christmas ornaments for Christmas and then got all hurt that they weren't thrilled with her gift?" What?? OK, Sonja shouldn't have got visibly upset by that, I'll agree to that one! And I hope that she didn't respond in front of the children, But honestly, no one went into detail about exactly how she reacted to it, at the moment that it happened. My mother gave Christmas ornaments to my teens for years and they were thankful for ANY small thing they got from her. And those ornaments, were given from my Mom's heart. Since when is it right to teach children that it's OK to be ungrateful and not appreciate ANY gift that they receive??

 

Everyone wants more in this life! We live in a I WANT more, more, more, better, better, better society!! But at some point,,, when and where does common sense and morals kick in? Obviously, everyones approach in this story needs to go in a different direction if they are ever going to fix things.
