Horrorcow Susan Schofield Cabana, Cory Cabana, & Michael Schofield / Schofield Productions / @bipolarnation - A Tragicomic Tale of Psychiatric Munchausen's by Proxy

[BlisterInTheSun]

Seeing those text messages makes me sick to my stomach. Kiwis speculated that Cory was in it for the money (and Susan for the attention) but seeing it in black and white - straight from the source is disturbing. He sees those kids only as his money train.

Kelli - thank you for speaking out and honestly sharing your story. I'm sorry he was a shitty parent to you but hopefully your involvement will help put an end to this vicious cycle.

Edit: I don't mean that we expect you to do anything but that there seems to be a convergence of people who know what is going on and THE SHIT IS GOING TO HIT THE FAN SUSAN AND CORY

Thankyou for not only coming here but telling us all about your horrible father. I’m very sorry for the life you had to live with him and only hope you found the courage and strength to put your horrible past behind you. He’s just as awful as we all knew him to be but this confirms so much more.

He ended up homeless in Seattle because of bad choices and inappropriate comments in the workplace causing him to get fired so he couldn't make rent, got evicted etc. My grandma helped him a lot during that time, she always does when he needs it.

Most male narcissists have a doting mother for whom they can do no wrong. Sounds pretty spot on.

The only thing I can't say with any certainty is sexual abuse because as FAR AS I KNOW he never did anything to me, although an unhealthy fear of men did pop up for me VERY early in life, I think age 5. I remember Stacey questioning me about this but she could never draw any conclusions about it and I have no odd memories that I know of.

Well, that is unsettling. The comfort here is, you can't recall anything, so if anything did happen, at least it's too far back for you to understand it and have it haunt you. You're in my thoughts, girl.

 

[ibewwife1990]

Wow. I have a lot to say.. A lot to say.. But first I want to ask you, you do know Susan and your dad likely watch these threads? Given that you are faarrr from close with him and are not dependent in any way, I gather it will have little impact on your relationship.

EDIT: I just recalled you said it was your father who provided the KF link.

yeah i'm aware he will very likely see this. i'm fine with it. the truth needs to come out.

 

[large_farva]

thank you, kelli, for sharing here and I am so sorry you didn't get the good enough parenting you so deserved.

A big ol' semper fi to you for your bravery

I suspect for many years you felt like you didn't have a voice... boy did you just take it back!!!

Thank you again and I'm sorry he was an absolute shit to you.

You've been amazing, Kelli. Thanks for coming forward in spite of your father being a complete heel. People don't get to choose who will be their parent and I'm sorry you got shackled with a complete waste of life like Cory.

 

[ibewwife1990]

Thanks everyone. I honestly was not expecting such a kind response. I was fully prepared to have to do battle and I was dreading it. I cannot say that I came out of my childhood unscathed but I do my best to be aware of my own issues and try to work on them between my supportive husband and my kids I want to do the best I can to not repeat the mistakes that were made with me.
My friends have told me I need to contact DR Phil to tell my story and it be exposed for all to know but I am really afraid of the spotlight. I don't want it to seem like I'm just stirring the pot to get in on the fame train or whatever. I just don't want them to keep hurting people! It's wrong.

Kelly can I ask if you have been fully caught up to speed on the full story we believe of jani and bodhi? Have you been reading the farms for a while or the YouTube comments? I know you said you always kinda just took their words at face value but just wondering if you were aware of all the info most of us have here. I found them a couple months back after completely falling for their younger tv appearances. After a few days I realized it seemed to all be a lie and how Susan has turned those kids into what they are now. Jani never being skits I believe. I feel both kids have autism and that’s it. Well now tons of brain damage also. Any how I came here and would just read the threads and the whole picture finally came together for me that all this was a product of Susan and being mbp. Along with her co conspirators!

Thanks again for having the courage to tell your story. I did comment above just on the story. But I had wondered if you were aware now of the whole picture.

I dont think I know as much as some of the regulars in here. I read her book, I have seen a few videos but not the old TLC special. So there's def a lot I'm missing and I havent seen the decline of Jani and Bodhi over the years like a lot of you have. I just knew what they were telling me because at first I was talking to Susan a bit especially around when her book came out and I read it.

Kelli- Probably in the next week to months a lot of shit is going to come out. You need to preserve your sanity and keep your boundaries. If you don't want to go public then stick by that. Do what is right for your and your family and don't let anyone persuade you to do anything different. You already have done a huge thing by sharing your story.

 

[Diggingmyowngrave]

Kelli, I know he is your father and all but, fuck your dad.

Not only he is willing to destory the lives of his stepchildren but, his own child? That is fucking sick! I hope to God he gets some sort of punishment for his choices.

Yes, I am being optimistic. But, I hope this Dr.Phil thing will bring as much exposture to the Schofield-Cabana house of horrors. Save Jani and Bodhi’s lives and bring justice to Kelli, Stacey and who ever else Cory has burned!

I'm hoping that by posting my story here it will help in some way. I dont feel right just saying nothing at all. But my dad is not the great guy he wants everyone to think he is, and that's something I know for certain. So I can only imagine how bad Susan is if they get along so well and all she has been doing to her kids prior to my dad being in the picture. I am currently pregnant so I do need to be careful of my own mental health and protect my own family, I just hope that I can do it all and still make a difference.

Your bravery is really commendable, Kelli, so thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your story. If you were to decide to contact Dr. Phil (which is totally your choice and absolutely don't feel pressured to do something you think might be damaging to your life or mental health), I'm certain you wouldn't actully have to appear if you weren't comfortable. You could just give a statement and I think they would be willing to change your name or not mention it at all if you wished, to have a little bit more privacy at least.
Edit: But again, don't feel any pressure or like it's your obligation to get involved in the mess/drama he got himself into and helped create.

We don't think they've been getting along so well...

 

[storm22]

Thanks for responding about that. I do think you will start to get all the info rather fast now. It took me a good week to read a lot of the pages here and then every video they would post just reading the comments really helped. It’s really sick what she has done and your father is going a long with it.

Regarding her bringing her pilot scrip in I can see it now. Dr phill lighting her a new one. Here doctor Phil pick up and produce my la physc... I will never forget how he tore into the mom who wanted to be paid for her twin anorixc girls being on the show. He doesn’t take well to alter ire motives.

oh really? i havent heard anything otherwise. what makes people suspect that?

You could send Dr Phil those text messages you showed us. I'm sure he'd love that.

Mods, can you feature this thread? By the way Kelli, allow me to add my apology for what your asshole "father" did to you. You didn't deserve any of his abuse.
