Topic : 09/19 "Afraid of My Mom"

So if those were my kids, niece, nephew, friend's kids or a neighbors kids, they would never ever be alone with that woman again! She obviously does these things when there isn't anyone around her that will defend them, including dad. The moment he knew their safety was in jeopardy he should have packed those precious babies and been out of that house. Mom has no respect for the dad, nor does she have any respect for herself or her kids.  

  

The whole situation is very sad and probably happens to more kids than we know about. Thank God Dr. Phil has given them a voice.  

  

  

By the end of this show those children should be removed from the home till something is done about her. This lady should not even be around other people let alone children.

This episode is so scary to me.  I know that there are times that I yell and scream at my kids, like after I ask them to do something about 10 times and they still don't, then I yell.  I try not to, and afterwards, when I calm down I go talk to the kids to make sure they are ok and to let them know that I am sorry for yelling and then we talk about what they did that caused me to be upset, then we hug and kiss.  I love my kids, and hate that I do lose it sometimes and it gets taken out on them.  It's not daily, like this woman said, nor is it even weekly...it's just when I get really frustrated with everything else and then they don't listen.  My girls are very spoiled and get away with more than they should...and they are only 10 months, 3 and 4.  Of course, the two oldest are the only ones that get disciplined.  We usually do time-outs.  They get hard sometimes, but being a stay at home mom, it's not always going to be roses, lol.  I know that I am nothing like this woman on the show, but it does scare me that at times, I am a little bit like her.  One thing I am very much against, no matter how upset I get with my children, I refuse to swear or call them stupid or anything like that.  I remember being told that I couldn't do anything right just one time when I was younger, and that still sticks with me.  It only took that one time to hear those words, and I still feel like I can't do anything right.  I don't want my kids to feel that way.   

  

OK, this turned into a book...part of staying at home 24/7 with little kids, never going anywhere without them, lol. 

I don't know if I can finish watching this show.  The woman's voice makes me want to go and vomit.  How Blessed she was to have two beautiful, healthy, normal (I have 1 special need child) children.  Those children are being abused - no BUTS about it.  They need removed from that woman for good or until she completes some serious interventive therapy.  DR. PHIL - PROTECT THOSE GIRLS.  I can't believe what I am hearing and seeing.  I am appauled, sickened and angered.  She has NO LOVE for them.  The DAD needs to step up and get himself and his girls away from that monster.  Doesn't he want any happiness ??  He is guilty too.....but I think he can face it and fix it and show them some love.  They can be SAVED - but someone has to do something !

This program has hit home. I have been that woman and those have been my kids. I know that I'm out of control at times. Each time it gets a little worse, until I can't even stand myself. My children have lived in fear of me and I wanted them to because I thought that THAT was the only way to gain respect in authority. 

  

Now that you are totally angry with me, please let me say...I don't like what I've done. I don't like what I've seen. Watching that program and those dear children's sorrow, broke my heart. I don't want to be MONSTER MOM. I love my children and it's time I show that love in place of the anger.  

And for others out there, who know where I'm coming from...just because we are big and they are little is no reason to bully our children into submission. I see myself in Michelle. This is my wake up call. I'm contacting a counselor. My children are too precious not to. 

I can not for the life of me understand how someone could put thier children threw the living hell this so called mother is putting her kids threw. How as a parent can you scream at your kids and mock them when they are throwing up because of something you did too them??? When you become a parent you have the responsibility to PROTECT THEM FROM HARM.How can you harm your own child???? If my chil=dren have i cold i feel thire pain. This woman enjoys thier pain and that is sick. If she does not change they will grow up to hate her and who can blame them. May God be with those two little girls and may the mother get what she deserves!!!!

 Think that you should have your kids taken away until such time as you prove you are not a bully, that you are psychologically sound, and that those kids even WANT you within a restraining order's distance of them.  PERIOD.  You are not mentally ill, you are not a victim who is acting out in a subconscious way.  This is CHOICE BEHAVIOR, for BOTH PARENTS, and when you CHOOSE the behavior, you CHOOSE the results.  The result should be that you do not further damage those two girls until you can make better choices.

Do you still think it's DRAMA after seeing this woman.  I am pretty sure I may vomit after watching her.  Those kids will need thrapy alright, but not for Drama.

I am so sad about what I saw today.  Those poor, sad, lonely children.  I know that being a parent is not always easy, but to treat the kids the way those parents are treating those children is horrible.  I hope & pray that Dr. Phil can give those parents the help that they need, for their sake , but even more for the sake of the girls. 

Those girls are better women than I am. I was in their situation until I was 5. I could not forgive forget. The last time I saw my father I was 18 when the restraining order ran out.   To this day i wish an extreamly unGodly long life on the man and Desperatly wish in thet time he grows a contious with all the emotions and memories that goes with it.  "I was abused so now its my turn" Grow a back bone Put your foot down and STOP IT. If you can not stop it walk away send them nice cards letters what ever you have to to help them get past it and prevent them from doing the same.
