Did anyone see Inside Edition and home video of AN?

It raises more questions for me. It was this past Christmas. AN's psychiatrist was holding Dannielynn.AN appeared to be drugged.What a circus! Rumors about autopsy-over dose of strong sleeping pill-raging fever from infection from dirty hypodemic needle.

I hope that something positive has happened to help the relationships among Kim,Enza and Jeanette.

I feel very hopeful that Alex has made some positive adjustments while away from her home. I'm so glad that she was able to get help.She's so young with so many years ahead of her to have a great life. I hope the adults have made some headway. It's very hard to change bad habits that we have fallen into. They are only human,but I feel they have Alex's best interests in mind. I have no right to say this but I wonder if Enza's presence in this family is really that important? I know family is family, but I feel that of the three or them Enza may have the hardest time changing her attitude.I'm afraid she may fall back into trying to undermine the relationship between Kim and Alex. I just hope and pray that things can get to a point where Alex can have a stable and normal(Are any of us NORMAL?) life.

Why did your mother and the aunt say that you said those things?

Quote From: imagine12

the mother in this show.

 

I agree with you, I was one that struggled in school, did not get it.  something I never want my children to have to deal with.  But it happens, even if you are trying to help your child learn in everyway possible. I try every waking hour to be a good parent, be there to explain how the problem works and how to look at it in a different way because there is not one type of learning.  That is why I would not have called my child retared or lazy, because I myself struggle.  Even today look @ my spelling! 

This was a hard show to watch. I felt that you were really there to get help for yourself and Mason. But, when you denied saying what your relatives say you said, I didn't know what to believe. I think that DrPhil wanted you to admit that you had said those things. He did seem to be bullying you a bit. But he always says "You can't change what you don't acknowledge". I hope ya'll are doing better with the homework issues. I have 2 kids. My son hated homework. The middle school years were the hardest. In our county we are on a block schedule. Only 4 classes per semester. The teachers try to allow homework time in class. When my son had homework we tried to make sure he got it done. It never took 6 hours. But, it was like pulling teeth. He made it through and graduated. Best of luck to you!

I can't seem to find the words.

I am sittin' here readin' about what people are willin' to do to try to be famous and I just can't get my brain wrapped this one. I'm thinkin' "what?cut a finger off?" "give up your virginity on national TV?" I have to believe it must be a generation gap.I'm aware that "The times they are achangin", but I am befuddled over this one. I know there are some things that people do online that are funny and entertaining,but IMO if someone is willing to cut off a finger or give up their virginity on the internet, it's a symptom of being mentally off.( That diagnosis comes from having a "virtual ",imagined degree obtained from cyberspace since I've been posting on these boards.)Bottom line-I don't get it.

I'll bet Sanjay and Jacqueline are not together.

When I saw this the first time I just felt that Jacqueline was soooo...immature. I think Sanjay was besotted by her youth. I would be surprised if they made it this far.I wouldn't just make a blanket statement and say age differences never work out because I know sometimes they do.( not personally,my husband and I are the same age) I wonder if the older lady and younger guy are still together?

I guess it depends on where you are in life.

I'm reading these posts and it's got me to thinking. I'm married not lookin' for anyone. My kids are 20 and 25. I'm 52. When I'm around my son's friends I feel like their mother. Same with my daughter's friends. All kids that age remind me of my children. Even now when I out shopping and some kid yells "Mom", I still find myself automatically starting to respond. So I'm thinkin' everone feels the same way. But I can understand that it's different for different people. And I can understand a little more just from thinking about it. Before ,I have always rolled my eyes at an age difference . But you know I can accept that everyone doesn't react or feel like I do. I can see that it just depends on each individual couple.And I think that it can possibly work out for some.

I think that after she got help,she should have backed off.

Quote From: ddsharper

she was responsible for getting the child some help, I think I'd have screamed loud enough for Robin and Dr. Phil to have heard, across country. Sheesh. Okay already.
Enza came across on the previous shows as being negatively involved. She would talk trash about Kim to Alex behind Kim's back. I just don't see the point in that. She appeared to be manipulative and underhanded. I can't see what good she did in the house except cause a ruckus. Maybe the show would have been too dull without her.

You're right, Enza didn't raise Alex.

Quote From: flthomcat

Still can't believe some of you still think the aunt is 99% of the problem. The aunt didn't raise the child...mommy did. The aunt is not in the house with the child all the time; mommy is. The aunt isn't the one making bad choices that affect the children...mommy is (HOPEFULLY WAS...past tense).

 

The "struggles" you mentioned between mother and daughter were not NORMAL struggles. There's a big red flag when a 10-yr-old is having sex and a mother's response is to take her for birth control!  That should one HUGE red flag and it does say LOADS about the mother.

 

All the women in this chaotic, dysfunctional family had problems. HOPEFULLY they are all working on themselves AND their relationship with the problemed teen. God bless her, them and everyone else in this horrible living situation. Life is just too short to be so miserable!

Yes Kim made a LOT of ,IMO questionable decisions about Alex. She definitely needs to revamp her parenting skills. But other than getting them TO the DrPhil house, all Enza did on the shows was keep things in an uproar. If I had seen a more positive attitude toward the situation from her,I would feel completely different.

Does that mean you don't think it's normal?

Quote From: nicoleb81

I think middle aged women and men that are attracted to men and women twenty something years younger from them suffer from a chemical imbalance.
I don't think it's abnormal.I think it just affects some people's sensibilities. Now don't get me wrong, I'm talkin' about Adults and Adults, not Adults and Children!

Enza appears the SAME to me.

All I could hear out of Enza was "I" "I" "I". "I" accomplished what "I" set out to do -get help for Alex. She also said that Kim was trying to take all the "credit" for getting Alex the help.For Enza it is sometimes ALL about Enza. I really think Kim and Jeanette can work things out. Alex seems to be doing so much better. I DID feel kind of sorry for her when she said that Enza hadn't called her and Alex wondered why. I would think the least Enza could do is to write or send a card. She probably doesn't want to do it unless it's taped and aired on the DrPhil show.
