Lets discuss? Ive seen numerous children with a history of sexual abuse have a later diagnosis of mental health disorders. We know there were accusations of sexual misconduct between Michael and Jani. We dont have a clue what the fuck has happened to poor Bohdi, but suspect plenty. Im interested to know other theories about this....

I don't want to speculate specifically about potential sexual abuse, except to say there are a few red flags there...

But I think, in general, trauma is a huge part of mental illness. I've read about ADHD being extremely difficult to distinguish from trauma-induced behaviour. I've also watched enough TLC/A&E to notice patterns:

Hoarders = trauma of loss
600 lb Life = sexual abuse
Intervention = either of above, parental abuse or divorce, other major trauma

I think schizophrenia has definite roots in brain and biology, just based on its heritability. But I think it absolutely gets triggered or exacerbated by trauma.
There's probably a sort of epigenetic effect. We all inherit different levels of resilience, and intergenerational trauma, too.

To bring it back to the Schofields... I think both Michael and Susan have organic, inherited mental illness. But they also had fucked up childhoods, and that's the part that really screwed up their thinking.

I think Jani and Bodhi, in the wild, would probably have had autism and/or mood regulation issues. But IF they had parents who were sane (or at least properly treated)-- they would have accessed early intervention, and the kids could have learned better coping skills.

I remember reading years ago that the label "schizophrenia" is so weighty that it made patients more disabled than if they were simply labelled "psychotic". Doctors avoid saddling people with the label now in many cases.

Even IF Jani was "hallucinating" (I think it's synesthesia)-- instead of panicking about "schizophrenia", there are better ways to handle it. Accept the hallucinations, but find strategies to minimize their importance, and learn to live with them and just keep going. But no one could teach Jani coping skills, because the adults didn't have any.

Jani and Bodhi may have been mildly affected by some neurological issues, but the extent to which they are disabled now is totally the parents' fault. For all the things they failed to do for early intervention, and for all the abuse and yelling and drugs and neglect and poor nutrition they've piled on since. (Not to mention the screen time.)

I feel physically ill watching this Carlos person with Bohdi. Ive worked with severely autistic children and adults for a very long time. This aint it. This just aint it.
I also cant get past something even after 454 pages. Bohdi does NOT have a diagnosis of anything that would require the medications that he has taken, much less the doses given. How did that happen? I mean, I know you will say shitty doctors...but its deeper than that. If Michael has issue with Bohdi being overmedicated then why has Michael not gotten his ass on a fucking plane and showed up at that doctors office demanding answers? Or teachers? ANYONE? Its clear to everyone watching these videos that this child has been zombified with drugs. I just dont understand. I see children that SHOULD be on something PRN for anxiety. Im talking about maybe .25 xanax PRN. Tightly controlled and given 10 tablets per prescription, which is often how it is given to keep the parents from abusing it. (Which happens a lot) and they cant get them because their are so many regulations now on these types of drugs. Bohdi is on horse tranquilizer fucking doses of medications that are literally considered antiquated. How? Not to mention he doesnt even have a diagnosis that coordinates with those medications AT ALL. Something is amiss here. I feel like there is a huge piece of the puzzle that we just do not know. I feel like eventually something is going to be discovered that is even more horrifying than everything we have seen.

Yeah, it's crazy, but there really are just some doctors who do not give a fuck . To your point about the kids who could benefit from a xanax PRN but can't get it because it's so regulated, on the other side of that, I know someone with a long history of substance abuse who somehow gets it prescribed to them legally, in addition to pain killers, and they abuse both. They've even done things like go driving after abusing the pills and crashed into a fence at a school. The family member who had to go bail them out of that situation even contacted the doctor and told them what happened and why, and the doctor still prescribes it and that person still abuses it. Mad world.

"I have nothing to feel guilty about"
Ugh Michael is so disgusting. He has SO MUCH he should feel guilty for. Rest In Peace Jani and Bodhi, your father doesn't love you as much as he loves running away

Ah, shit, they gonna film 'em together. Yes, there is video of him seizing. Here is the unedited version of 'The Cheese Stands Alone':

He seizes here and she calls him annoying for it (seizing happens off and on [eyes roll back] at she calls him annoying at 0:55):

He seizes here and falls backwards with his eyes rolled back, and Susan thinks he's psychotic:

You are the true hero here! What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall...

 

[large_farva]

and this one
at 0:36 Susan repeats "off the mark" - she's referring to UCLA, but she's clearly taking her aggression out on Bodhi as she shoves him away

 

[Ido]

Can we really blame Michael for not wanting to move back to California? Its a shithole in it's own right not to mention his crazy ass ex. I mean, he can't say he'll take the kids because Susan has primary custody and he doesnt know what the dr Phil show is cooking up either. Any promises he might make could give the kids false hope, especially if Jani tells Susan because we all know the wench would deliberately ruin it. So honestly who knows what'll happen at this point.

I sent the link and timestamp to one of the producers.

Not sure if its usable because they are taping shortly.

 

[Fattyroad]

There's also Cory's comment (lie?) about him having an EEG that confirmed those are not seizures. He made the comments before the cheese video.

 

[multiverse]

Does anyone know if she somehow would still be able to collect het 4k for yaking care of her own son if hes inpaitent somewhere, likely out of state?

No, she can only bill Jani's hours.

That's it for Jani and Bodhi then. The one chance this fucker had to redeem himself, and he blew it big time. It might just be my cynicism kicking in, but I have a feeling that once this is all said and done with, things are not going to bode well for the both of them. Poor kids

Wat. No. He's not moving to California, that doesn't mean the kids can't live with him. He's said before he wants Jani, but didn't think Batshit would ever let go of Bodhi. However, now that Bodhi isn't knocked out on elephantine dosages, Susan and Cory are annoyed by his existence. If they can't get him back on drugs, they'll consider handing him over to Mike if the welfare isn't worth doing actual patient care (they think watching him 2-3 hours per day nod out in front of his iPad is worth it, through.)

I wonder what kind of work Susan thinks she could actually get if she wasn't getting government bux anymore.

Writer and producer of the new Netflix hit show LA Pyshc, of course.

Candy cane lane he looks like an absolute zombie that was one of the worst I have seen of him minus the cheese stands alone one and I think there was another that was recent but cc lane was a bad one.

You're doing the Lord's work by staying in touch with Michael at this time. The producers/researchers should keep a close watch the Farms here as the taping proceeds, because our people can probably find any needed info/videos far quicker than they can.

Yup, if theres anyone that knows as much about this family besides it's own members, it's the combined knowledge of this forum. Susan made it easy with all of the shit she puts online and the two books and documentaries.

 

[large_farva]

If they don't have the videos from her facebook page, they're missing the bulk of her insanity. It's when she was the most intensely focused on getting Bodhi medicated.

Pretty sure she even took this one off her Facebook page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSNFXcVZz3E&t

Michael was having a heartfelt talk with Jani regarding him moving back to California. He felt like she was just hanging on, between his visits, because shes so attached to him and has no life with Batshit & Dumbfuck..

He told her he's never moving back to California, and was hoping she wasn't hanging on to that hope. She stated she was not and knew he wasn't moving back.

She said SHE wasn't waiting for him to come back, "but Mommy is...."..

If Dumbfuck wasn't such a despicable human being, I'd almost feel sorry for the guy. Imagine the thought process knowing your wife is still hung up on her ex....

I think Jani totally understands Mike escaping and never wanting anything to do with Susan because Jani would do the same thing if she could, Bodhi too. Mike is the lucky one who got away. I think the kids hope one day they will too.

It's like POW camps. When one escapes every POW cheers that one got away but then they desperately hope the escapee will return with a rescue party or do something to help them escape too.

Susan has brainwashed Jani to be dependent upon her and she might fear life without Susan because Susan has made her fearful of it or change. But I think after a brief period of adjustment Jani would thrive if away from Susan, and esp off of meds.

Its gonna be a wild ride!

There can't be any surprise on Mike's part that Susan would blame him for being an absent father and being the root of all the problems. She's going to paint him as badly as possible in a effort to make herself look better.

Hell, she tries to say Jani wets the bed because of him!! Susan will ALWAYS blame everyone else for anything in her life. Problems with the kids are due to Mike, terrible doctors, the awful mental health system, etc... Susan will always paint herself as the heroic mother fighting for her schizophrenic kids against all the odds and she believes her own bullshit. She is deep in the martyr complex and is totally oblivious to all the horrible abuse and neglect she is solely responsible for.

Susan is severely mentally ill and unbalanced, but cannot even fathom how this effects her kids and how it has caused her to ruin their lives. She is totally incapable of thinking about the feelings and needs of others, everything is centered around her, her feelings, her thoughts. She has zero ability to empathize with anyone, even her own children, which is why abusing them and medicating them into a coma has been so easy for her to do - it's made her life easier and that's all that matters.

Let's hold something positive comes out of today. I don't have any faith in Dr. Phil, but I do believe that he won't want to look bad and he'll try do something to help these kids. I don't care if he's a self-promoter, maybe he can get these kids some proper treatment and out of Susan's clutches. It's all part of the process that might finally get something done. I feel like we're a few steps down the road but we have a long way to go.
