Replies to '04/21 The Dr. Phil House: House of Greed, Part 2'

I really felt bad for Lisa.  I think what she is really looking for is a mother's love.  Sonja seems so cold and

spiteful.  I really hope that Dr. Phil can reach them, if for no other reason than to have Sonja see how terrible she came across.  I feel sorry for Sara too, because if Sonja can turn on her first born with such verocity, who says she can't do the same thing to Sara, over a stupid thing like land.  The woman needs help.

  I married into a narcississtic family and I see my mother-in-laws problems in Sonja. 

  I think Lisa needs to stop trying to win her mother's love, I don't think Sonja knows how to love, she only knows how to manipulate and deceive.

  Lisa needs to move far away from Sonja.  Not all parents are good.  Sonja will continue to brain-wash Sara and pit her against Lisa.  But when Sara is older she may see her mother in a more realistic light and be friends with Lisa.

  Lisa should take the higher road and call her mother "Mom" even though she doesn't like her mother's

behavior.  It's hard to be respectful to Sonja I am sure but if you keep your personal integrity and kindness then their meaness doesn't have the hold on you they want to have.
