I think the defendant Tara has some resentment towards the plaintiff because she grew up in a loving home and had someone willing to kill to protect her.

She wants to be loved and uses her accomplishments to show she's worthy of love and admiration! I hope they all are now healed!

[@joycec6222]

I think Tara resented Tmecca because of the love and protection she had as a child especially from the men in her family. Tmecca described that situation of simply making a phone call and her grandfather and uncles showing up ready for war behind her whereas Tara was sexually, emotionally and physically abused by the men in those roles in her life. Tara has to realize that Tmecca is not her enemy. I hope she gets the healing she needs.

[@MariselaR.da1daOnly]

Yes , I see the bond she has with Carla also. She probably goes to her when the older sister gives her a hard time. She seems tough to deal with. Which is also where some of the older sisters resentment also comes from. Out of jealousy that her full sister accepts, loves, and gets along so well with her. When she spoke on her dad doing drugs with Carla, she hated that the other sisters knew more about her than she did! She doesn't like them being close and it's noticable.

Beyond the seemingly cold demeanor of the older sister is still a broken little girl in need of healing. The hug she tried to deny represented the hug she needs herself, but not yet ready to receive. The pursuit of her aspirations through education and various endeavors is a great and productive coping mechanism that helped her overcome such a horrendous and traumatic past; however, the accomplishments created a barrier to keep people at bay, which is a defense mechanism. My hope and prayer is that one day she receives what she needs to truly heal, so she can better serve those she is positioned to oversee and serve from a place of wholeness rather than guarded brokenness. 🙏🏽

@@hornetbrown I dnt think you’ve ever been around a life long addict. You damn near have to talk to em like that. When a person has been on drugs for double digits and they tell you to your face they dnt need or aren’t ready for help when your offering it, their in deep. I know because we have em in my family. It causes us so much grief. One of my aunties has been using for over 35 years. She literally smoked her heart out back in 2017. Now she walks around with a personal defibrillator and a pace maker. I dnt the she was out of the hospital, fully recovered and home for 3 days before she was back to the streets… bad heart and all. The only time I remember her trying rehab is when my family (her children, my cousins, my aunties and my mom) talked to her like this. I think she only got clean once but MOST people have to try and fail rehab at least 4-5xs to be successful.

If u can’t shame a person, you can’t change a person. People who aren’t ashamed dnt see anything wrong with the error of their ways. As long as you can shame a person their hope. We’ve raised a super soft, extremely gentle and hyper sensitive group of adults!

[@karenwhite4141]

To have gone through so much, that older sister sure is a class act with her sanctimonious, self-righteous self. All her accomplishments pale in comparison to her nasty, high and mighty attitude 😒

[@Champ-tt5id]

Tara is the meanest big sister ever! I'm really glad for Carla though. As a foster mom to a child born addicted, I truly wish there was something to be done to stop the cycle.

[@higher_pwr8178]

Oldest sister needs help too but it'll be tough melting that ice cold heart and stoic shell that she believes protects her wounded heart from painful memories.

[@carra542]

Let me first say that these sisters as a whole have been through some traumatic things that no child should ever have to go through. I'm very proud that Tara, despite all she has been through found a way to still become successful, but her attitude towards her half sister is NOT OK. I feel as if she blames her sister for what happen to her because the father is no longer alive and she can't take her anger out on him. For you to advocate for abused children, and have all these titles, it damn sure didn't teach you how to be kind to others. This lady just wants the love and acceptance of her sisters, there is nothing wrong with that. Even after she found out they are siblings, she still has a cold shoulder for her to cry on. I feel she only hugged her to save face on television. I'm glad Tmecca still loves them despite Tara not wanting her to be apart of them. As for Carla, I pray she stays on a path of sobriety. She gets high to not feel the pain from her trauma, but it's going to kill her soon if she does not turn her life around. Judge Mathis did exactly what needed to be done. He meant no harm, he only wants to help her even if she didn't want it. I applaud him for that. I pray she can mend her relationship with her kids. This episode has me IN MY FEELINGS😭

[@jo5755]

She definitely only hugged her sister because she didn’t want to look bad. She looked horrible still. Even the hug she gave was cold and disingenuous.

[@ME-vb6pq]

The defendant who is the spokesperson for her and her sister Carla, 🙄 is hiding her pain behind her accomplishments. She’s not healed at all. She’s fallen into a position of protection. She’s very guarded and the wall that she’s built to keep ppl out keeps her in. I hope she fully finds the living water who is God almighty. I pray for her deliverance and healing bcuz she’s just as addicted to pain as her sister.

[@TiffMarshall]

Taraaaa! Did she hug her and say, “You need this.” Just wow!

I don’t think I’ve ever cried watching judge Mathis. My heart broke for all the ladies. It was hard to not judge the older sister, I didn’t like that she was hiding behind her accomplishments. I pray her heart not only heals but softens for her sisters.

[@PrettySure24]

She’s defending him yet he abused her that bad!! I’m so confused.

I was thinking the same. She has the syndrome (can't think of the name of it) where the victim has sympathy for their abuser.

Awesome Episode! Loved the Mathis Moment and that the Sister went to rehab!!

[@cindysammy2513]

That girl was so bitter towards that girl just for wanting to find out the truth. She didn't want to admit that her father was messing around. I really don't think she's handling her abuse as well as she thinks she is. She clearly has some unresolved issues and hiding behind all those jobs/certifications is not helping.

[@derrickjohnson3656]

The mad sister wanted everybody to know everything she done in life.. You can tell she’s stuck up.

[@huliaabonita5477]

The defendant, the older sister. She’s very sickening. I understand her sad story but at the end of the day she’s trying to make herself the centerpoint of the abuse when they all experienced it she’s trying to devalue the experience of her other sisters and that’s so disgusting to me they should all embrace each other because they were all put through the same thing and she shouldn’t blame her little sister for not saying anything about her being raped because she two could’ve said some thing so don’t try to put that on your sister and have that on her conscience

[@ashleighforde3754]

Exactly. Maybe her hardness is her defense mechanism but I hated how she invalidated her sisters trauma because I’m sure they’re all traumatized. That’s what really pissed me off because as much as I feel for her I also feel for the other sisters n I don’t even know them but she can’t even extend some empathy to them..esp considering all the things she mentioned about herself being an activist etc.

Without love she can take all of her accomplishment and roll them up into a blanket and set them on fire cause what good are they if she cannot show love to someone who needs it AKA her own half sister. Poor Temecca has victim remorse. She wish there was something she xould have done she was just a child.

This was very heartbreaking. 😥😥😥. Growing up the way they did can really cause serious psychological damage.

She’s hard and bitter but she’s still hurting.
