Visual hallucinations actual schizophrenics report are somewhat uncommon and usually quite brief and simple. Examples are shadows, bugs, spiders, seeing a fleeting glimpse of someone/something, powder in the air or on objects they think is poison, imagining angry or grotesque looks from people they encounter, etc... are common reported visual hallucinations. Susan encourages Jani to walk around like she was Snow White talking to imaginary animal friends that she encouraged her to give detailed descriptions of.

Susan seems to mix up schizophrenia with descriptions of LSD trips. (The whole insane rant she posted about the death of Eric Claptons son jumping out a window and “thinking you can fly” equals schizophrenia is actually old anti-LSD propaganda that was highly publicized in the early 1970s. It circulated at the right time to make a big impression on Susan as a kid. It stemmed from a story about the death Diane Linkletter (daughter of celebrity Art Linkletter) falling out a window in Hollywood after taking LSD. Every middle class parent in the USA told their kid the story for years to scare them away from taking acid.)

I think your spot on about Susan's deluded/pop culture infused perception about what schizophrenia is.

Also, one of my favorite bits about that Anti-LSD propaganda.

I hope some of the videos where Susan is very openly hostile toward Bodhi will be showed.


This one's a pretty good example. Look at the way she shoves Bodhi at 0:38 when she's talking about UCLA being "off the mark" - she seems to be more angry at Bodhi for not getting the right medication than UCLA.
Notice when the camera first pans to Bodhi - he pulls away from Susan/the camera and keeps giving the side eye to her.
This was March 2017.

So Dr. Phil isn’t going to admit he was wrong about Jani. My guess is the way they’ll play this is that Susan is stuck on the idea of both kids having schizophrenia even though only one does. They’ll go into bad coparenting and unnecessary over-medication of Bodhi, and how Jani’s true and honest problems made Susan fear this in all kids.

If he does tell the truth, that Michael was abusive and abandoned the kids, and Susan has Muchausens, that the kids had nothing wrong and were just basically unparented, then he’ll have to admit he missed it the first time. (Flight of ideas, my ass). Watching clips of the show, it was crystal he did miss it. So rather than admit that, he’s going to focus on Bohdi today, and blame Susan for thinking both kids should be on the same meds, and blame her and Cory for cutting Michael out.

Thats how I think it’ll go down.

I hope I’m wrong and the full truth is revealed but it’s unlikely.

And Dr Phil should mention this amazing Internet forum named Kiwi Farms whose members have turned from evil trolls to loving humans just because of Jani and Bodhi. Make @Null happy, it takes so little!

As others have said, thank you for being kind enough to share your story. I'm glad you've been able to get through such terrible experiences growing up and still turn out to be a kind and good person. Out of respect for you I'm not going to trash your dad anymore, you already know more about him than any of us.

This is one of the more fringe theories in this thread but some of us think that Corey is suspiciously too close and touchy with Bhodi. From what you've said it doesn't sound like he appreciates girls and women very much...Is there anything you can think of that would make you think he has some pedophilic inclinations or interest in boys/men? Or does that seem farfetched to you? You can also watch some of the videos and see for yourself how he seems to always be with and touching Bhodi. I'll try and edit this post if I can find the videos and pictures from the thread.

Just from what I know it does seem like a farfetched theory. I cant think of a time growing up that sends out any red flags in that manner. My dad wasnt touchy feely with me though so I do think the behavior is strange. But perhaps hes just trying to build a bond of trust with Bodhi? Or make it appear so anyway. I would guess that it's all for show for the internet following to make him look like hes a good kind caring stepfather. If anyone ever wanted to take pics of me and my dad he would do the same kind of poses, hand on shoulder and stuff. No one ever wanted to film us though so no way to compare that sort of behavior. I really wish I had more family photos from when I was growing up so I could look into that more and show you guys. But I'm pretty sure most of that was lost along with all our heirlooms and collections that he lost in storage by not paying the bill.

Oh, we gettin' Susan at her most manic on TV. She's cycling all over the place. Now she's giddy about Michael being here, and he's featuring in her fantasy about how Dr Phil will be blown away by their joint mental health advocacy and probably give them medals or some shit.

She also thinks Bodhi is currently in psychosis, though he is in withdrawal and doesn't speak. Jesus H.

Thanks for the reply. Everything you've shared has been very illuminating and given us a clearer picture of his personality and motivations. Makes sense he would do those things for show.

It is a relief if some of the scarier theories/suspicions about him and Bhodi are not true.

She keeps bringing that up. That he got a free ride out there. What did she expect? Isnt that standard operating procedure with these things??

She also seems to think Michael, as soon as he's done with the show today, is going to hightail it to Valencia and take the kids.

Don't hold your breath Batshit...

Your comment about their 'mental health advocacy' reminded me of something I've been meaning to bring up here. I don't recall seeing it mentioned anywhere in this thread (though I could be wrong), and I learned about it from the Schofield Discussion Page on FB. It was this online course Susan and Michael were trying to sell, they called it 'Schizophrenia Quickstart'

https://web.archive.org/web/2018103...y_EtSkMBf7Z8CtLzW-l4ISzPzqQfe0kXqILAOedQPiGIY

They tried to market themselves as experts on dealing with schizophrenia and used the TV appearances to promote that angle
