Quote From: shannonbugThis is Shannon from the show that you are talking about. I just wanted you all to know that I am here and I am trying to read all the responses and comments you have all left, BUT so many people are leaving comments that I am getting lost and not having a chance to. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support and all the people that care. I want you all to know that I am living with Jennifer, the lady on the show that defended me. She is an awesome lady and reminds me a lot of my biological mom. Jennifer and her husband have taken me into their home and treat me and love me like their own. I have a TON of friends...who are now my only FAMILY!!! I am truly touched and almost moved to tears by how many responses there are. I appreciate all your care and concern. I had no idea first of all of how many people have watched the show and then how many have left comments. I am blown away by it all. You have no idea how loved you have all made me feel. The fact that you will take the time and watch the show and then take the time to leave a comment some very long and in depth is AMAZING. I am slowly beginning to realize that I am a good person and I can do this and be OK. I have a good job and I am working on getting my life together and being separate from those people. I am 20 years old for any of you that were wondering. I will eventually live on my own and be OK. I know that. I know in my heart that I am good and I will do everything to make my mom proud of me...as I know she all ready is. Thanks for EVERYTHING!!!!
Shannon- I am 23 years old and you remind me a lot of myself. I have to say that your dad and evil step wench should be happy that they have you instead of me, bc if I was in your position, I would have done a lot more. I know thats wrong to say, but I was so heated watching the show at the ignorance and lack of compassion that I just wanted to jump through the screen. I want you to know that there are people out there that know what you are and were going through and we love you.. unconditionally.. as your father cant seem to do. My dad is the same way. And believe me, I was so resentful after a while at him and my mom for not protecting me, that I acted out in ways that would make what you did seem soft. At one point, to get me out if the house, my dad lied and told police that I had hit my mom so that they would take me to a psych ward. I still struggle. But you will be ok. Just believe in yourself. We all love you. and as far as your father and that c*nt that he married, they can just go to hell. I hope they read this. If they are, i want your dad to know that he failed as a parent. And i want your step mom to know that she is a piece of garbage. BE GLAD IM NOT YOUR DAUGHTER!!
anyways, love to you, shannon. my email is in my profile. write if you wish. id love to know how you are.

(Original Air Date: 04/20/06) Do you know someone who craves attention so badly that he or she will do anything to get it? One family believes their loved one is a master manipulator and her ways are causing a major conflict in the household. Hilary claims she wouldn’t shed a tear if her stepdaughter, Shannon, died tomorrow. She calls Shannon a narcissist and says she will lie, fight and cuss just to be noticed. Shannon feels like a scapegoat, and thinks her stepmother is simply out to get her. When Shannon was younger, her biological mom died, and now she believes Hilary has turned her father and sister against her. Is Shannon’s behavior all an act, or do her father and stepmother need to change how they deal with her? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.
