That was good too and I totally hated her for most of the show, so glad to see that she got her act together, for her kid's sake if for nothing else. Her son was wise beyond his years and his verbal ability was amazing.

I was hating on her too, for about half the show but much less when I knew what her parents had done to her and her sister.. toxic beyond belief, both of them.

The little boy.. yep.. I hope they gave her a short loop of that little speech to play on her cell or whatever, any time she needs a boost.

this show is incredibly sad and amazing.

What astonishes me the most is how those around the addict enable them so much.

Just saw last seasons one about the dad who ended up dying of cancer. That was so so very sad.

I am a total enabler. It feels like you are helping, but reality is it makes it worse

Haven't posted in a while, partly because sometimes it's so hard to watch this show-some of the episodes hit too close to home. Last nite's was one of them, so I didn't see the whole thing and don't know if Robby and/or his family accepted help, but struggling with recovery/sobriety myself, and an adult child of an alcoholic, here's my .
No one sets out to be an enabler, just like I didn't set out to be an alcoholic. And the enabler is just as sick as the alcoholic/addict, and needs treatment/help too. This is what I took from Robby's story-the whole family needs help overcoming his addiction.
Many times, when the addict gets treatment and is working on their sobriety, but the enabler doesn't, the relationship ends. The recovering one starts trying to take responsibility for their life, and the enabler is so used to having all the responsibility, it is hard to let go.
It can be a vicious cycle, and all members of the family should be involved. Thankfully, there are groups such as Al-Anon and Al-A-Teen (and I'm sure many I'm missing) for anyone living with an alcoholic/addict. Even if that loved one is not recovering, the family should get help.
sry if I rambled-and climbing down from soapbox now :-)

No, I am not sure. I am not even sure who it is. The camera's come in a different location and are kept away from everyone else because of HIPPA and patient privacy.

Right. Well, they do always tell us where the person is going when they get on the plane so what's the name of your's?

How cool!! So, it'll probably be a couple of months before its shown on TV. I will definitely be watching for it. Last night's show made me so happy for the singer that he actually "got it". I hope he stays sober and goes back into music. The rerun before that broke my heart. He got sober for his kids and then died. I cried like a baby.

Well that woman from last night was a waste of television time. I'm glad her children were taken away from her. She is definitely in a ME ME ME place in her life. I hope that sooner or later she gets the fact that she is throwing away her life.

It was a weird show. No closure, but I guess that is what the family is dealing with.

It occurred to me as I was writing above is that we were seeing the beginnings of what we usually see the end of -- the woman who is in the process of falling into her addiction, losing her children, falling into a heavy partying lifestyle -- whereas we usually see it several years further down the road when the woman has lost her family, her health, her friends -- this family was trying to intervene to stop all of that from happening to Marquel but obviously she is going to have to fall a lot further before she is at the point of being receptive to the help. At least her family will be able to move on with their lives and hopefully not enable her (although I don't think her father will be able to help himself).

(Hopefully this makes sense to someone other than myself...LOL!)
