Topic : 06/05 Family Court Battles

I heard her say it loud and clear that the grandson was always welcome in her bed.

Along with the inappropriate sexual relationship she formed with her daughter's "friend",

and her youngest son still sleeping in her bed at age 15!!!

Hello!!!

Something seriously wrong with this woman!

Wow! What are you thinking?  See your grandson "no matter what"  soon enough he will realize that he won't want to see either one of you.  What a great way to drive a child right out of your lives.  Mom and grandmother included.  Even if grandma wins - you cannot win the child.  He will hate you both for all the trouble caused by both of you.

As for her dating a man years younger. Men do it all the time.  Kudos to her, I can't understand why the male sector gets away with this and women are ostracized for doing exactly the same thing.  She has been with this man for many years.  I believe the daughter is holding a grudge about this and this mess stems from it all - jealously.  What has he to do with any of this..........poor guy. 

I agree with Dr. Phil when he says they are all "out of whack".  Withough justification - grow up all of you.  Leave the child to make his own decisions.  He will come to grandma if she just shows her love without all of the court crap............stand back and leave him alone.   I am a grandma of my 16 yr old I raised him for his teenage years and then his mother wanted him back.  That is where he wanted to be.  I let him go.......even though it was not where I wanted him to be.  He loves me and I love him.  I don't agree with his living situation but it is his choice and I want him to love me for the "rest of his life and mine"!

Grandma you need to back off.  What the hell are you doing?  Making choices for your grandson.  You cannot decide what is best for him.  YOU are not his mother.  Nor will you ever be HIS MOTHER.   He loves his mother and you cannot change that.  Just because you Hate your own daughter.  My God life is so short..................9 1/2 months give me a break.........and the last 30 years of hate.  9 1/2 months does not qualify you to take her son from her and hate your own daughter.............what the hell are you thinking woman.............I am so disgusted by you all.  Poor kid is all I can say.  God bless him for he will need someone on his side before this all ends........

SOULMATES!?! I wish. My mother was an alcholic AND mental. When she wasn't abusing alcohol, she was popping prescription drugs. Being her soulmate was not in the cards. She chose not to get well until it was too late. I never denied her seeing her grandkids and neither did any of my siblings, but I can tell you for a fact that she too made things up or very often skewed the facts. She was also good at being a victim. She also played favorites with her grandkids.

Rita obviously has major "issues" and I was very disappointed that Dr. Phil did not get better answers from her or pin her down on her blatent lies. The courts very often don't have all of the facts and don't bother to get them for whatever reasons. I pray for Koal. He is 13 and I think he is old enough to hear what is going on. He probably knows more than everyone thinks anyway.

Does not matter if she is sick or not, the child is in Danger....As a women and as a devoted mother I am insulted that an illness should excuse this behavior . As women we want to be equal to men in every way, then we should be treated the same in cases of abuse. This women abused her own daughter and the son we'll never know, and now she wants to be alone with this child!!! I believe there are people that are just plain bad and believe this Women should be considered a repeat offender. She sucked the life out of her daughter as if she she was on a mission from some evil place. Her daughter still standing, testement of what a good mother she is for her children when they are in danger. I just feel so sorry for all the space this woman takes up in her mind, heart and soul, she was probably hoping for help today..Someone has to give her a break so she can renew herself. How cruel to be fighting this demon for 30 years, not fare...,

Why does Rita only focus on the one grandchild? Kohl has siblings and Rita didn't go to court to see them. Both these women are annoying, petty and bitter. Unfortunately, their unhealthy relationship has become toxic to the entire family. Rita, back off. It appears Kohl has become some sort of sick obsession. And all the court battles...come on. Get over yourselves, stop seeing each other and move on. Rita, get a life...you are NOT wanted in your daughter's family. Respect your daughter's wishes and leave them alone until Lisa (or your ADULT grandchildren) wants to reconcile. You can fight until you're blue in the face and that will only cause heartache and damage to ALL your grandbabies. Once again, it’s all about you. You've already caused damage to Kohl, whether you know it or not. As a mother, mother-in-law and grandmother, if ANY of my children decided not to allow me in their lives, for valid reasons or not, I would back off-- NOT because I agree (and yes, it would brake my heart), but because I want my grandchildren to grow up happy and without any added stress or burdens. Grow up!!!!!

I think this is one of the most appalling shows I have seen.  No one seemed to be listening to Dr. Phil especially the “Grandmother”.  It is obvious that she isn’t going to give up or stop what she is doing.  She doesn’t care what it does to her grandson or his parents.  I find it so sad and appalling, what anguish within this family!  I wish that young boy and his parents the best and pray they will have some peace from all this turmoil.
