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

[lameandgay2]

Yes Bodhi is probably coming out of this way more stunted and way worse than Jani will, but both kids were quite normal when you consider the circumstances and the drugs they were on until a very specific period of time and that makes me wonder, what EXACTLY is she PRNing them with. I don't think it's just Benadryl, Clozapine, Thorazine and Lithium.

And if she is, where the fuck is she getting the meds from, because if she's continuously overdosing these children to allow them to decline so rapidly in such a fucking short period of time, she wouldn't have even a fraction of enough of a surplus left. Is she getting them from other munchie moms? Just how much of a supply were her quack doctors giving her?

I don't know about America, but in my country, when I was on Lamictal, I wasn't even allowed more than a months worth, and this drug has zero abuse potential.

The rapid deterioration could be caused by a combination of drugs she's listed as giving them, and whatever under the table shit she gives them. She lives in California, with it's massive drug and crime problem, complete unwillingness to punish illegal immigrants (Which are a big source of illicit drugs from Mexico, a even less regulated drug market.) and other various issues. Combine that with a very corrupt medical system in the state with massive amounts of drug production, it would be very simple to get any kind of drug she wants to dope them up with.

I can’t wait to see what Susan posts after filming tomorrow. Even if Dr. Phil drags her she’ll still see whatever it is as a win for her and her “causes”. I predict hypermania overdrive with more documentaries! more books! more TV series!

I wonder if Dr Phil will use this website to wrangle some cows and sick fucks for his show.

@Null Offer your services and be a talent scout for his show.

The prescribed doses are enough to turn the kids brains into oatmeal, she doesn't need anything illegal.

Didn't mean illegal necessarily. Even legal drugs have restrictions on amounts you get per time period, but due to over production and corruption in the industry, she could easily obtain copious amounts of dangerous meds without prescriptions.

I think those drugs are strong enough to cause this at this age, tbh. Keep in mind their doses are insane, and IIRC Jani got a dose increase around the time Bodhi got Clozaril due to Dr. Rivzi's house of horrors. Are you thinking she's giving them something like street drugs to make them seize and need more medical care?

 

[Damaged Goods]

Do you know if Dr Phil airs online, or is it strictly cable?

It doesn't exactly air online, but plenty of sites reupload the episodes. The ones uploaded to youtube are awful quality because they have to distort the video to evade detection. Like I said I can post here the links for those of you who can't watch it. The only issue might be that these sites aren't exactly legal everywhere and I don't want to get banned now that I just joined lol. But if dailymotion is fine I think it should be ok. Hopefully the mods can let me know if this would be allowed

I watch a lot of Dr. Phil. Not because I’m a fan of the man but because it’s a guilty pleasure of mine. So I can predict with a high degree of certainty that Susan and Michael won’t be portrayed as insane, abusive or MbP. Instead, he’ll make them out to be overwhelmed, albeit a tad clueless, burned-out parents who are definitely overdoing it on the medication front but mainly because they’re out of their depth. He’ll touch on Susan’s attention-seeking behavior and shame Corey for being on the show for the money. Then he’ll proclaim that the only reason he’s doing the show is because he has the best interest of the children at heart and pat himself on the back for it.

Rate me , but I think MbP will come up, if only in relation to Bodhi. Jani is the infamous child schizophrenic, not Bodhi. Maybe, just maybe, you could believe that Jani was psychotic, but what are the odds of two schizophrenic children, one of whom has never been diagnosed?

Maybe Dr. Phil can swing this as "poor bipolar Susie, Jani's 'illness' and Michael's abandonment put her through the ringer, bless her heart, but Bodhi ain't psychotic." So she's a Munchie, but pitiable, and Oprah suffers no loss to her ego. Remember, she and Dr. Phil got hoodwinked all those years ago re: Jani.

Even more , Jani and Bodhi get re-evaluated, Susan gets her long-awaited Lithium comeuppance, and Corey stays a weak penis, but elsewhere. I don't even care about debunking Jani's diagnosis. It could even be traumatic for her. Wait, Mommy Dearest was wrong? Mommy Dearest fried my perfectly healthy brain for attention?!

Jani's sense of self is weak already. I don't care if she keeps her label, so long as she can ditch most (if not all) of the pills.

 

[lameandgay2]

Just to clarify, I'm not talking street drugs as in opiates, amphetamines etc, I'm talking street meds really or just illegally obtained ones i.e from friends. She can't possibly have managed to hoard enough legally to do them such serious damage that it's become visible just by looking at the kids in such a short space of time. You never used to be able to tell Jani and Bodhi were speds but now you can see it just from a photo.

Dr. Phil sued by mentally ill woman

Wonder if Susan has a backup plan when she gets laughed of the stage.

Bodhi does have a mental illness diagnosis though, doesn't he? And like it's been said before Dr. Phil can't and won't refute it. The most he ever says in cases like this, after the obligatory disclaimer about not being able to diagnose anyone on the show, is that "X diagnosis wouldn't be on my shortlist of considerations".

Keep in mind that he has to save face and can't admit or even give the slightest impression that he was wrong about Jani when he met her or that he was swindled by Susan in any way. He always boasts about having been trained in forensic psychiatry and therefore being an excellent judge of character. That will sway his portrayal of Susan very heavily.

Bodhi's diagnosis is autism.

 

[Olhelm]

jesus christ what the hell

You turn your back for a week or two and BAM 450 page thread. Ah jeez.

Alright, so let me see if I have this right. Dramacow to end all dramacows, autistic book, sociopathic father, abuse of children and stepchildren, and now we're all tuning in for a Dr. Phil episode on it?

 

[SourDiesel]

I hope he goes in on her about the size/state of that apartment she's got them all in. I watch dr. Phil on occasion as a guilty pleasure too and recently I saw an episode about a terrible mother and part of the complaint against her was the state of the place she had the kids in. She tried to keep the producers from visiting while also claiming the place was super clean. He had all kinds of things to say say about that, mainly that he thought she was a liar. He was pretty pissed. Optimistic, but I do think he'll grill Susan about this if he's planning on turning on her.

I do think though, if Jani were to get out into a place away from Susan and into someone's hands who knows she's never going to be a veterinarian, she could be taught the life skills to eventually live on her own. She may need supervision on occasion but I do believe she could live a simple, decent life.

That's not to say I don't think Susan hasn't caused her outcome to be much worse long-term than it would've been if she'd had proper parents the whole time, but I've seen adults who function in her range live alone. Bohdi, not so much, unfortunately.

 

[Damaged Goods]

Bodhi's diagnosis is autism.

Yes, and psychiatric medication can be used in people with autism, especially if the parent/caregiver reports violent outbursts. That's what I meant in my previous post, that it's not necessary for both children to have schizophrenia to be on meds, so Susan can still claim she was just following dr's orders

Is it already Monday in LA? Or is it Sunday? It is early hours of Monday here in Scandinavia.

She may end up with all the publicity her dead, black, rotted heart desires.. just not in the way she’s predicting..

Women Behind Bars, featured in Criminal Psychology books.. hell they may even teach about her one day!!

...and back to reality!

They are about 8-10 hours behind you.

 

[Muttnik]

The best thing anyone could give Susan is everyone ignoring her existence altogether. That's why I hope, after some big event happens that determines the endgame of this fiasco, Susan is left in the cold and forgotten by the rest of the world save the people that hate her guts. She doesn't deserve human acknowledgement after the things she did. Paying her any attention is just feeding her munchie side.
