Michael was brought to the airport right after the Dr. Phil taping.

Thanks for the updates. And for confirming what we already knew, which was that she was taking him to the ER specifically to get drugs so she could say "but but but muh doctor's orders!" What a fucking nightmare for these kids.

Hey, kiwis who know anything about law or the current state of medicine. What are the odds that Rizvi ends up being held at least partially responsible/loses his license over this?

I imagine the doses needed to create a sedative effect in Bodhi must be sky high by now. Speaking from experience, antihistamines like Diphenhydramine and Hydroxyzine only work to knock you out for a few days in a row without upping the dosage. Bodhi's been drugged consistently with them for years.

And yes, Vistaril/Atarax/hydroxyzine is a controlled substance (it's a nonaddictive benzo alternative) and requires a prescription. Again, breaking the law.

They actually work pretty consistently, I’m aware of someone being prescribed them for roughly 7 years. Granted, they drop a night every now and then but they seem to do the intended job.

Bodhi is going through huge changes at the moment and his little body might not be able to take Thorazine on top of everything else.

Also, Susan cannot and should not be trusted. God knows what she has stached away altogether. It doesn’t bear thinking about!

I hope he stays safe until TX’s

It's really too bad he couldn't stay and have the kids with him for a while. This is a really dangerous time for both Bodhi and Jani. Then again, even if he'd tried to stay, it's possible Susan would have refused to let him have the kids after the taping, since it went so poorly for her and she's desperately trying to reassert control over the situation.

@KeepHopeAlive gave us some awesome info as to what went down today, and I'm still looking forward to you getting a chance to write up everything from your/Michael's perspective! I'm interested as to what happened in those talks offstage.

I have no idea what happened in the after stage talks, but by the actions of everyone, Susan and Cory were worried they wouldn't get the eval on Bodhi( and more attention for Susan), not to mention DCFS breathing down their necks( and watching their $$$ from yt go bye bye, hence I think Cory is thinking of a book in the future. If he thinks he can get Susan's LA Psych pilot accepted, he's stupider than Susan.)

Having you ask questions helps me to remember, but I think I've hit the most pertinent issues. I will respond to questions as I can.

Edit: I don't think Susan will kill the kids now, she's on another jaunt now with the PNP Center, probably to prove them wrong. It will be her downfall.

To be fair Amy needs him too, as she's due soon - the timing isn't great but at the same time, part of Susan's messing about is to try and get at him too. As we've established before Susan *loves* attention and she, like many emotionally abusive ex partners, relishes that him coming over allows her chances to hurt or rile him up like she did in the "Good ol' Days" and we know Michael was prone to taking the bait when they were married.

Some of this is Susan going "haha look he's coming back to meeee when his new wife is preggo suck it down [smug emoji]" and Michael has to draw a line for his own sake (and sanity) to say "we're not in a situation where I'm coming running for your behalf, just for the kids welfare". Otherwise it's unfair if the kids are being used as pawns, and the current missus being neglected because Susan can't be arsed to parent.

Credit to Michael because that's not easy, learning to handle this sort of behavior from Susan was probably a massive hurdle for him personally (and was still struggling with it when he was pressing over Jani's breakthru bleeds). He kept his cool on the previous trip for the DCFS despite the sudden downturn for Bohdi, and seems to have kept himself in check during this taping - which is the best thing he can do, stay calm and not let Susan wind him up.

I assume if Dr Phil's team felt it was super important, they would make sure Michael stuck around if there wasn't the home situation. I'm sure the idea was also to give Susan benefit of the doubt and a chance to show she can do the right thing in the end. You do have to go in with a certain level of goodwill that someone will try to turn things around to try and make it better. But she's just proven everyone calling her out right.

She's only destroying Bodhi more than she's destroyed Jani because Bodhi is her reason to make Michael stay and he didn't. In her mind, he MADE her have another child or HE'D leave. I mean I'm no psychologist of course, but it doesn't take a shrink to see it.

I hope all of Susan's shills and defenders are proud of themselves. Once this turkey airs they'll have no excuse. Susan is a nasty little snake that loves bringing about her own misfortune and to see it laid bare for all to see might be a good wakeup call.

Any good teacher/social worker/psychologist/psychiatrist/doctor/concerned friend or relative worth their money would pick up on something wrong, it's whether they report it that is the difference. Raising awareness of Munchausens by proxy, it's a double edged sword. You raise awareness, those people who've noticed something wrong report it, but you also have munchie moms picking up tips from other moms who've been caught and had the details of their crimes aired on the news.

It's much easier when the fictitious or fabricated illness is physical, but when it's mental, how DO you prove a kid is being overdosed with Benadryl to induce hallucinations? How do you prove they're being provoked on purpose at home into aggressive meltdowns? How do you prove it's all spontaneous? And would you want to take the chance of looking like an asshole shouting about a mother being a liar and an abuser, when in an extremely rare case, a young child really does have a severe mental illness?

Dr Phil used that exact same language @RisingPheonix That Susan can't use these kids as a "pawn" in her games. I'm telling you, he had her number. I know that these things take time and a lot of Susan failing to comply. It will be slow going.

I'm not surprised but it sounds like he and his team did their proper research and I'm glad for that.

TBF they were both bad to each other at the time, but as someone who escaped that kind of relationship, people like Susan bring out the absolute worst even in the sweetest saint because of the amount of game-playing and manipulation going on. She and Cory deserve each over from what we heard from his daughter - they both see people as just a means to an end and can't really understand things like genuine love for others.

The thing about these MBP's is they thrive for attention. It's in their nature to log onto facebook daily and try to convince their peers what great parents they are as they use their kids as pawns.

They're like those serial killers whose killed their 15th victim and were able to get away with it but can't keep their damn mouth shut long enough to claim their 16th. Someone just has to know about their dirty work.

They're literally pyschopaths.
