Warning: This post I'm going to be talking about sexual molestation towards minors.
Oh My God!!!
I just finished watching today's episode of Dr. Phil. To say that I am disgusted is the understatement of the decade!! The episode was entitled "Forgiving the Unforgivable".
These two women (Katrina and Marita) came on the show to confront and get closure with their mother (Kathy) about the sexual abuse that was going on in the home and that she chose to ignore.
I was completely disgusted by their mother responses- she's a poor excuse for a human being! Every time they asked her a question she would deflected off herself and play victim.
Here are just a few examples of "The Mother of The Year":
When the girls were smaller they both had irritable bowel syndrome. So instead of taking them to their family doctor, or giving them Pepto, or even avoiding milk products, she gave the girls wine coolers!!!!!!!! After she got them good and loaded, they would all gather in the family room and watch soft-core porn (Red Shoe Diaries). The mother had the nerve to ask if this was inappropriate!
When the girls started to develop breasts, Kathy took them into the washroom and made them show their step-father their breasts. Her defense- I didn't know if there was something wrong?!?!!?! Do you not remember going through puberty???
The step father used to hang around the house only in boxers with his penis hanging out. When the daughters told their mother, her response, "Was it big?"
On one occasion, the step father kissed Marita passionately in front of everyone (I think she was nine at the time, don't quote me on it though) and the mother said, "Huh! Why don't you ever kiss ME like that?"
She would let the step father sleep in the same bed as the girls because she thought he "loved the girls as much as she did".
One time, Mommy Dearest went to the washroom late at night and saw the daughter's bedroom door was open, she looked inside and saw Don (step father) on top of Katrina. Instead of confronting him, she goes into the kitchen and PRAYS!!!!! Her defense, "I thought I was dreaming! He looked like a person possessed, so I prayed. When I returned five minutes later, he wasn't there. I assumed it was a dream!"
When it finally all came out, and Don was on trail for sexual molesting the young girls, Kathy sat behind him with a Bible in her hands.
When he was in jail, Kathy wanted the girls to call Don and apologise for putting him in prison.
Kathy has turned to religion since all this happened. she blames the sexual abuse on alcohol and believe whole heartily that Don was possessed!!! What a crazy BITCH!!!
I feel for these two women. Being a child and youth care worker I advocate for youth everyday. Seeing pictures of these two when they were young (around six years old) and now knowing what really was going on in that house just breaks my heart.
Katrina and Marita have grown to be such strong women and are better people than I would ever be. If I went through a similar situation, I don't think I could ever forgive.
So tomorrows episode is a conclusion of today's show. It says on the preview that there is a break though with Kathy, but I am not going to hold my breath!!
Wow! is all I have to say
