Wow this is unexpected. Hadn't thought about Jani and Bodhi being there during the filming. Hope they are not, they get enough cameras shoved in their face by their primary caretaker.
Really hope this helps Jani and Bodhi in some way. And really really hope it doesn't make things worse for them .

Sounds like they are going to Susan’s to film the kids as background material and decide if it’s worthy of a show.

I’d doubt they would have the kids on the actual live audience show until the end once the drama subsides. If Jani wasn’t so delayed I could see them getting input from her. The fact that Jani was far more insightful and engaged as a small child than she is as a 16 year old speaks volumes.

ETA: I do fear the shit Susan is putting Jani through before the crew arrives. With how angry she gets when Jani talks to Mike I can only imagine what she will do to scare her into compliance’s for a TV show.

Susan has posted....Dr Phil show will tape on Monday...She will be busted on national television!

Do you think Dr. Phil is having her on to call her out? Perhaps this is a result of Michael getting in touch?

Divine beings I really hope so. Someone needs to...

Susan is already giddily planning the latest manic "campaign" she thinks Dr. Phil will allow her to launch. It has never occurred to her for a moment that he won't listen patiently and just let her take over the platform.



It's highly likely Phil is coming hard for both parents; Mike for abandoning his kids, and Susan for drugging them into oblivion to make her life easier. No one is going to look good out of this. So it makes me wonder what his angle is: DCFS takes the kids?


Edit: btw, even Susan's friends are wary about her being on the show; they dont trust him. She is feeling bulletproof though.

Dr Phil always like to be the Savior...no way he is not going to offer residential for Bohdi..

 

[Box of Shame]

As i recall in the previous media docudramas...the host(s) were really good about "cutting her off" and giving Michael the focus....Letting her talk would be good in this instance, the savvy Dr Phil audiences will see through her in a heartbeat. Hopefully he will suggest sending Bohdi ( and Jani also) to a residential treatment facility for a few months...AND get Susan therapy and ON THE CORRECT MEDICATION! and on a side note give her some ABA !

Yes, I can just see/hear him pressuring her to get on the bus to ride off into the sunset to a treatment center and pressuring her to sign off on sending the kids to residential care for awhile. I know but it's so tempting to imagine it happening.

While I'm dreaming, maybe Dr. Phil could get the kids on HGTV for a room makeover. A decorating pro could turn Jani's room into a shared room for them both with a privacy curtain down the middle, plus actual beds for sleeping and dressers for their clothes.

Fame and attention on reality TV can solve all our problems, right, Susan?

(edit: typo)

 

[雑音🐈]

Damn. Dr Phil doesn't air in my country. Hopefully fellow farmers can provide the episode when it comes out. I seriously hope Susan gets exposed and the kids get the treatment they need, away from her.

Mike will need to just keep the focus on the now and not rehashing the divorce and what happened five years ago. There’s more than enough conflict and drama with Susan in the present day so I don’t think spending much time on their inspid relationship crap will be nearly as attractive to Phil as “saving” the chemically lobotomized kids stumbling and slurring on camera.

Some guests they need to create conflict and dredge up past sins to up the drama and interest. Not with Susan, she’s got so much of a mess and manic craziness that just trying to focus on all the BS in the present day will fill 45 min no problem

 

[Fattyroad]

Michael should make sure that Dr Phil sees this video before the taping. It tells a lot.

 

[storm22]

You better bet the show staff and producers as well as dr Phil have done their hw. If they really are taping Monday then he will be fully aware of the whole situation, the videos, the YouTube comments of everyone telling her he’s gonna die and to stop over medicating plus their horrible responses to our concearns. I do feel that Michael knows and is prepared for his own beat down so to speak by dr Phil. He knows he has faults. But who’s not prepared is Susan. This is her shining moment at least in her own head. She really thinks this guy is gonna listen to her on why bodhi needs his precious meds. All of us if ever in this situation which that would never be but say if we had a similar scenario with our kids being over medicated we would be able to have a guilty conscious we would know going on dr Phil would be an absolute nightmare. Susie q can’t see that. This is her ticket to the big leagues again or so she thinks! It’s all delusions of grandeur in her mind! This is one show I would never miss if so. She will come out to the world for the person we know she is yet in her mind she will think the episode taping went great.

 

[Syo]

Its been ages since I watched talk shows, what is the lead time til they go to air now?

 

[multiverse]

She really thinks this guy is gonna listen to her on why bodhi needs his precious meds.

No, her angle now is, SHE wanted him off the bad meds but those darn doctors just pushed her and pushed her!

This is a tissue paper defense, because so much evidence exists in this thread alone of her pounding the table for more and more meds, let alone her own videos. But that is her plan.

Btw, she's absolutely desperate for people to see the post and reply to it. She couldn't just wait for anyone to see it, she's tagging people like mad.

 

[lameandgay2]

Dr Phil has pissed all over a woman who over medicated her son on about 20 or 30 psychiatric medications and sedatives before. I'll try and find the clip. Dr Phil will probably mention Mike's faults, but all in all, with the background on Cory, the heavy documentation of the children before and after Susan's YouTube hibernation and what the new psychiatrist and child services said, he will be on Mike and the kid's side completely.

Plus, Phil definitely doesn't seem to take kindly to parental alienation.

 

[Strelok]

Assuming this is real, its gonna be a bloodbath if this goes to air. Phil has, since the last time they were on his show, gone hardcore on the "these people are shitty let's laugh at them" track for episode production. If anyone here has seen episodes featuring other lolcows like Truthfully Trish and Fat Bike Guy, you know what he is now. He was always a carny, but now he's Jerry Springer with a college eduction. Nobody involved will come out looking even remotely good unless they decide to hand Mike a script to print him as the desperate angel father.

I disagree: Dr. Phil doesn't egg people into throwing hands on his show. He goes more into psychologically dismantling the fuckups on his show before sending them off to the ranch.

I just saw that she was tagging people. I agree with your comment but at the same time you have Cory just two days ago saying on YouTube comments he needs his meds. At this point she can say she wanted him off but we know and they know that is a complete lie as her own evidence she provided speaks otherwise. This really is such a mind twisting case to me. I whole heartily believe she is mbp but then she does things that don’t make sense. I guess mpb comes in lots of forms. For instance him going two years without being in a hospital or her being silent for that length of time doesn’t make sense. However she finally got the drugs she wanted and I think was smart enough to hide bodhi in a way from docs seeing him and that he looked over medicated. I think the reason I’m so intrigued in this story besides seeing justice for the kids is Susan and not knowing what will come next. This is probably just a ramble and I’m
Probably not making much sense but to sum it up she screams mbp to me yet I see things in her behaviors that don’t fit the typical case if that makes any sense. Just a big mystery to me.

 

[Outtafuckstogive]

All I've heard about Dr. Phil is that he's not a real doctor...

 

[Strelok]

Meant bloodbath in the metaphorical sense. Expect at the very least for Susan to ragequit the show at least once like every other munchie.

Insert the clip of that lady that tried to storm off stage but went down the fake staging area exit here. Too lazy to find it.

Phil is a real doctor, kinda. Which is how he originally got his gig. He stated off as a court expert witness who helped Oprah win some lawsuit, so she gave him a segment that eventually turned into Dr Phil. Then what happened is after he got famous he never renewed any of his licenses because he never intended to practise legit again, but he still has all the degrees.

Even people with MbP can back off of their crazed desire for more medical attention if they're receiving it from another quarter. Susan was still hitting up the UCLA ER every few weeks until spring 2017. They got wise and she was forced to back off. Then, by June, she found Kaiser and Rizvi, and got her dream med for Bodhi plus a hike in all of Jani's dosages. She also started pumping out videos on the channel rapidly around the same time.

So Susan replaced her hospital attention with the attention she got on YouTube. She never stopped her MbP behavior, she just temporarily changed the attention source while she was getting all the drugs she wanted for Bodhi (when she was denied lithium she was already starting to lose it though). Now that she doesn't have her pills, she's back at the ER causing a scene every other night.
