First off I wanna say that I've only been privy to this cow and the children for a few days, after seeing them referenced on Onision's thread. However, I've spent these past few evenings reading the thread and watching videos to catch up. Took several breaks because I was incensed.
This is probably the greatest news I've heard in general this year, or in a long while. I'm still so floored at how long this was able to go on, how a woman can get gobs and gobs of top level medicines for kids who don't need it when people that truly do struggle to get prescriptions. But then again, after the Blanchardes, I can't be super floored.
What continues to floor me is that, unlike Dee Dee Blancharde, this cow seems to legitimately believe that the kids are deranged and need what is essentially gorilla sedatives to sit quietly. I am also stunned at the level of projection.
Susan sees a schizophrenic, I see a little girl with a vivid imagination, whose creativity could propel her places for a successful future engineering, design, art, etc. Susan sees a "hyper-sexual" and I see a little girl who "loves men" as being one who subconsciously craves a stable father figure (which would be an older male of course). Bodhi probably "loves men" too in that regard.
It's always a weird feeling when something like this happens. There's so many horrible cases on this website.
Also anyone who thinks they are better off in the system than with Mike is delusional.
Hard disagree.
Even if Michael
seems to be doing better, he still enabled the abuse, and still apparently believes that they're mentally ill. He has a history of caving to Susan, who's to say he won't continue to do so? As much as being a "ward of the state" or being in the foster system is generally seen as shit, their being where they are now is the lesser of two evils. As MirnaMinkoff said, it's better that professionals watch over them during withdrawal periods. They'll still be in a controlled environment, but the level of control is needed for evaluation and the aforementioned withdrawal; they won't be in a "let me shove a camera in your face while you're in the bathroom and interrogate you" controlled environment.
It's like Gypsy Blancharde saying that she feels "free" in prison. Sad, but honestly it's better for their evaluation (and her reintegration into society and normalcy).
