I’m Raising My Granddaughter Because I Think My Daughter Is Neglectful | FULL EPISODE | Dr. Phil

[@courtneynichols5060]

When I was 22 I had a college degree, a full time job, buried a husband, and was a working, single grieving mother to my 3month old… I didn’t make my mother pay for any of those choices.

[@faithrightout3743]

While I commend your efforts and dedication not everyone has the same life or will or motivation. Everyone is different and not in a good way sometimes she’s clearly raised a certain way I think she was spoiled and now this is the outcome

[@courtneynichols5060]

@ that’s very fair. You’re right. But I say that from a place of knowing it is super hard, everything was - and still is- for me still! And none of us want to adult, it’s hard! But she’s playing an “adult” in costume but needs to start embodying that in reality too. Her mother will be gone one day if nature takes a natural course, and she’ll be gobsmacked by duties if she doesn’t before then. I hope they’re all well regardless

Threatening your own motber to raise the child YOU had at 15 is insane. Saying youre gonna break her windows if shd doesn't put your child to bed?? Youre lucky she even has a bed, which you cant provide her because youre too busy doing drugs.

This is what I know about addiction from my family experience. These ppl were already selfish, self centered, arrogant, and usually narcissistic. The drugs only intensified the horribly personality traits. Maybe not all addicts, but a huge majority of them were already not very stable, or decent ppl.

[@debIGASnz]

@@aprilpinketon2567that's typically because they have some deep rooted character flaws, usually from some type of trauma or stress as a child, which leads them into the illness of addiction. Sure, some people are already irreparably sick before addiction, but it's more common for addiction to grow from a person who is trying to change how they feel inside...❤️🙏🏻

[@Frosty0762]

This. This is what I've found with a large majority of addicts and ex addicts. I was once an addict many many years ago and​ most of us try to hide from what we're feeling and the pain of reality, past and present. It was easy for me to walk away, thank God. For the majority, it isn't. Addiction of anything sinks into you and is like a parasite. @@debIGASnz

[@anjab6266]

Personally, I would (as the Grandmother) go to court and get 100% full custody of that girl ( Grandchild ) and make sure Adriana never sees her kid again. Adriana YOU ARE DESTROYING THAT GIRLS LIFE!!!! Look what are you doing Adriana, too your Child!!!!!!

[@madamezeroni7121]

Theoretically that’s a perfect solution. Just don’t know if grandma is capable of that

[@Frosty0762]

​I'd say supervised visitation honestly as well. Because Mom is in and out the child knows her and her being suddenly gone may cause some regression and had behavior in her like acting out. Grandma can do it. she's healthy​, they have the resources and so on. However, She's in her years of caring for her and her husband and doing as they please peacefully.

Mum obviously doesn’t have a job or cares enough about her child to be responsible. Someone needs to step up and look after this child, and not expose her to drugs and violence. Both mums should kick em both out. Force them to grow up, get jobs, a place to live. One mum had daughter pregnant at 15, taking drugs and violent, the other has a criminal son with no job and a girlfriend with a toddler she don’t care about. I’d say they all pretty much fail as parents.

Who's breathing down your neck NOW?

But good answer, Susie. "No."

[@lindagillespie8040]

Hey parents, what happened to believing/teaching ,"you are responsible for your own behavior!" It's her choice to use drugs,to live with that guy and to not take care of her child. HE ,is not responsible for her horrible behavior. THAT is not his doing! It's her choice. OMG

[@eh-i1841]

All the same,knowing she has a young child,he should get his act together,and insist that she does the same.They are co-dependant,and together,they will never do the right thing.Individually they are responsible,and together they are responsible.

[@MorgueInTheVoid]

The problem is that she's showing no remorse or desire to change. Maybe if she started with her attitude and learning how to have a civil disagreement, there wouldn't be all this "confrontation" she's worried about her child seeing. If her mom is calling her all these names, I guarantee you she doesn't just walk up and start talkin smack. Adriana instigates it 100% and her mother does really care about her but Adriana is too delusional and selfish to listen to her so she sees every piece of advice from her mom as an attack. If every time she dropped off her daughter she said "thank you so much for watching her for a little bit, I'm gonna go out and apply for some more jobs today, see who's hiring and then I'll be able to come back and feed her and get her ready for bed in a couple hours. I love you." That would dramatically improve this entire situation. But instead she just expects her mom to raise her kid for however long so she can go out with her boyfriend and they can enable each other to never amount to anything in life.

Out of the group of five debating this matter, only the boy's mother is applying reason and expressing an answer to the problems.

[@bayliedwards6806]

Are you kidding 🤦‍♀️me, I left home at 17. Got my own child support for the 3 months I was under 18 Then, I was on my own

[@debralondon2402]

What an arrogant daughter. My daughter WOULD NOT hit me twice. Period. Sad.

[@judythornburg1131]

How could any daughter put her hands on her mother. If she chooses the boyfriend over her own child. OMGoodness .She needs to check herself.

I don’t know how children become so entitled.

[@danielsmith9500]

A mom that chooses a guy over their kids is in my eyes a real pos. My kids live with me and their mom did the same and I been with them thru it all and i see what it did to them. I can’t stand this girl. And the boyfriend. What a champ lol
