[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 310035"] I too have some issues with- Oprah...don't get me started. However, I think many of her shows help people and some of her recent shows seem really good. And I did think this was a good topic AND I did get a call on my recorder about it...telling me to watch! Overall, I thought it was a good show...informative and it was interesting the way sympathy was shown for both the girl and the parents. One small thing I was conflicted about was how the parents sometimes gave into the girls demands kinda easily...like when she was testy with- Oprah, no effort was made to try to make a gentle correction. Additionally, no tentative plans have been made for the parents to live in one house again, and I do not recall the parents mentioning attending marriage counseling (although one would have to find a REALLY smart marriage counselor to do it!) BUT...my heart DOES go out to the parents who are obviously doing the best they can and are struggling most days to keep their heads above water. It kinda reminds me in a certain way of our own situation...just running on empty...going beyond the beyonds...and few people giving you really good advice 'cause they just don't know what to say or do. I am glad that they have a hospital near by to take their daughter to when necessary and that their story was heard...I suspect this alone makes them feel a tiny bit better. [/QUOTE]
