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

Thank you.  Nurse who has seen alot

The first comment I want to make is similar to one someone else has made...Thank You dear God for giving me the wonderful mother I have been blessed with.  Next, it sickens me that this situation is even happening.  All I want to chime in and say is how sad I am for the sisters.  I think this mother needs to get a wake up call, she needs a reality check.  While the girls are talking together, and mom is watching behind the scenes, mom is acting so juvenile.  At that point, I couldn't watch any longer.  How could either child have any respect for that woman.  Of course there is always more than meets the eye.  And as someone else said one hour isn't nearly enough to make any type of judgement.  My final thought is this...if I were in either of the sisters shoes, I would make amends to my sister and tell mom to take a hike.  She needs to grow up. Besides...money talks and bull**** walks.  In the end, who is really going to win?  I find it pathetic that this type of thing even happens.  Maybe I should have viewed the entire program, but I couldn't make myself, it was too much for me to even consider.  I hope everything works out for the sisters, mom is a sick woman.

Lisa has another house she can live in far far away from her mother. 

Can you then explain to me the similar problems she has had with other's?  people of no relation to her?  Same situation, new people each time.

Everyone is talking about Sonja and Lisa.  Blah blah blah.  What about Sara?  She's got a mother who has continuously talked trash about her half sister.  Then you have the half sister who insults her by calling her a little princess, which by the way is what the name Sara means,  and wishes that she was never born!  How horrible is that?  How many kids does Lisa have and does she treat them all equally?  I think that she complains that Sonja wants nothing to do with her grandchildren, but I think that she uses them as pawns.  I think that  Lisa is the greedy one and she is so jealous of Sara that she should be bright green.  What about Sonja's husband?  What happens if Sonja dies first?  Shouldn't the entire estate go to him?  I would say to Sara to wash her hands of them all and go off somewhere else.  That whole family is nuts!  Lisa, you better stop whining about the fence and make the first move.  You never know the guilt that you are going to feel if you are fighting with your mom and she passes away.  I lost both of my parents within months of each other.  Thankfully, I made the effort to reconcile the problems that we were having and was on speaking terms with them.  You never know how long you have with your family.  Material things and money should be at the bottom of everyones list.

Thanks for the welcome. I guess I didn't need to ask because I have found some threads now where people are expressing their thoughts of her. When I first logged on, I didn't see a lot of that. I've watched a lot of Dr. Phil and she was the first guest that made me want to find out if others saw her the way I did.
The mom is just so over the top phony and theatrical. I look forward to next week because Dr. Phil really has a way of waking people up and seeing themselves.

Oh My!  That show was really sad!  The mother brazenly displayed on national TV - That she just simply did not love her daughter! 

 

Over the last few years I have wrestled  and tried to ignore the fact of my parents age and health issues.  And while I know that in their over-organized and over-analyzed minds that they have spelled out every detail of their will.  The most important fact is that I cannot imagine my life without them.  I dread selling their home (I am the Real Estate Agent in the family) and driving away.  They are more important than what they are leaving behind - and it is definitely more than 8 acres!

 

The daughter has become a player in her mothers cruelty and manipulation.  Her finding the strength to walk away  - would be empowering.   She needs to redirect her efforts to build a loving and caring family.

Lisa crossed the line and mom put up a fence to let her know it. Heck, if I wasn't dead yet and my daughter started bringing up what she felt she was entitled to of mine before I was even gone...I too would put up a fence and let them know their are boundries to property and lisa needs to see visable evidence like when Doctor Phil came in with the dirt and put it on the floor. Hell, if my son in law was so disrespectful to my face the way he has admitted to being then I too would get ticked and come out and say things and basically let that son in law know that THEY are getting nothing. To this day because of one comment my daughter in law made to me that was disrespectful has made me rethink how I wanted my stuff distributed after I was gone. AS far as the grandchldren go....Sonja should get the pleasure of giving the grandchild something special while she is alive and leave it at that...maybe a piece of jewelry or something. I have a feeling mom is ticked at her daughter and son in law because of his disrespect and she shouldn't feel one bit guilty .   Shame on lisa for even bringing it up. Mom looks in good health and Soon lisa will realize this was crossing the line. When mom does go, lisa will be Thankful for her little sister because they both know mom. When my  mom died I was so thankful for my brothers and sisters because I knew they were the only people who really knew my  mom and I could share the hurt and pain of the loss with them.  I say just from watching that one episode that the husband of Lisa is behind a lot of it ...he sits back and just lets it all happen.....he should have shown respect for Lisa's mom and not said anything so disrespectful to her. That is what is making Sonja irritated with it all.  No mother really wants to cut her children out but she probably can't stand lisa's husband and feels if she is verbal about it she is letting him know that he doesn't have a cash cow. Sure would be something if Lisa went ahead and accepted it as it is and I wonder how long Lisa's husband would stick around.

happy posting!
