Topic : 12/25 Parent Trap

How dare this woman get away with this.  I would say that she should be ashamed of herself, but she has no shame.  As far as I'm concerned, she should be prosecuted.  And Gloria Alreid, I'm so sick of her I don't  know what to do.

This woman is dead wrong, and she's a liar.  How could Alreid defend her.  How come the child was not asked how she feels about her mother.  It is so very obvious that the mother is brainwashing the child and taking absolutely no blame for what she has done.  To say she  started this whole thing is putting more than mildly.  She shows no remorse whatsoever for the pain that she has caused.  The child should not feel a lack of trust for the father, but for the mother.  Her mother is the one she can't trust.

I watched the show on Monday October 29th. The thing that gets me is two things. Like Dr. Phil said ..there is two sides to every story. I would of liked to see Dr. Phil ask the mother, "If you did not recieve child support for the child that is not bialogically his, would you still let him be a dad to her?" I recieve child support for my children and truthfully i believe the standards of child support are high. Not only is it before tax child support but a percentage of medical, dental, extra curricular activities and so on. Some men pay two thirds instead of half of these due to their income being higher. Now if that mother goes to marry, it is not taken in consideration that her family income is higher. So in a sense i can see how he may want a family of his own and tthe money could help his family. Not paying this may make him feel like his ex-wife didn't "win" if you may on her lie. On the other hand i feel there is probably a bond there and the "dad" would love to be a part of her life and the mother she do this for her daughters sake and go and find the real father as well because she owes it to her daughter to know ALL the truth. I don't understand why this is so complicated unless the ex-wife is money hungry and won't let him see her without the payment.

Why does it matter whose biological Selena is?  It is a privelege to be able to raise a child (ANY child), not a right, not a prison sentence.  The worst thing that has happened to Enrique is that he helped to care for, nurture, and provide for a child. Is that so bad??? 

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!

No words could ever explain the amount of sympathy I have for Selina after watching todays show. She has been hurt emotionally by both her mother and Enrique.  I was appalled at the way Gloria Allred attacked Enrique about how he handled telling Selina.  Her anger should have been directed at the mother for deceiving both Enrique and Selina.  She has destroyed many lives with her lies, and through the entire show the mother smiled, laughed, and to me never showed any remorse for the infidelity or the problems it has caused.  Another person also hurt by this is Selina's biological father.  Has the mother informed him he has a beautiful daughter, and given the opportunity to be a part of her life?  How can an adoption by the step-father be possible without permission by the true biological father? I also believe that Enriquie should not have to pay child support, but should be able to have a relationship with Selina if she choses. I think the mother should get on her knees and beg for forgiveness from not only God, but from everyone that she has hurt,  scarred emotionally and physiolocally by what she has done!!  Men from now on should always remember this saying "Moma's baby, daddy's maybe"

I think there should be a DNA test given at birth to verify parentage.

It is already being done to prove lineage before you can register animals - why not make it a routine test given at birth? Or if that proves to be too expensive, then make it mandatory in divorce cases before child support is awarded. Would that not solve the issue completely?

I thought the mother sat there acting just a little to smug for me. It was only when the thought of the biological father was brought up at the very end, it kind of shook her up a little bit. Where is the biological father? Does she even know?

If she would have given up the money in the beginning, and said nothing "Now you all know how parent's who are divorcing and talking about each other at home", I think the father would have kept in contact with this child, and not have abandoned her. This child is only listening to her mother's side. I did not once here the child say, "Who's my daddy?"

It appears that, while you seem to care a lot for children, you are forgetting that the MOTHER lied from the beginning and continued this lie for nine (9) years! Her actions caused the family to be in this state of flux today - not Enrique's! Had the mother had any since of truth, justice or fair play, perhaps this family would not be in this mess!

And, yes, she should be made to name the biological father as opposed to trying to make Enrique pay! While I DO NOT condone the manner in which Enrique acted towards the child in telling her about the situation,  I can personally understand the anger and hurt that comes along with not knowing your child's true heritage. Can you?

Again, the mother is fully to blame and should do all she can to make ammends with the kids and Enrique...
