Psychologist REACTS: Lori Vallow's UNHINGED Interview w/ Colby Ryan

[@HiddenTrueCrime]

For those interested in our theory about Lori and munchausen by proxy-head here: kzbin.info/aero/PLnLc7I2gyWtQXz5FyQVkNdFX8ppkxo-9W&si=J8P_H3KiQmG1toCY

[@joannewilkins5000]

@@HiddenTrueCrime yes I wondered this right when I heard about Tylee being sick all the time. Pancreatitis that could never be explained. Seems suspect. Plus Lori likes to talk about her many hospital visits by Tylee side and how it effected her not Tylee. Never spoke how horrible it must of been on Tylee only how exhausting it was for her and what a dedicated mother she was. Feels like she was getting the attention every time Tylee was in hospital.

[@leenaright3949]

@@HiddenTrueCrime I'm a retired registered nurse. I am positively sure my brother's wife has munchausen's syndrome and is the reason my 4 yr old niece died. No one believed me as I insisted something wasn't quite right as my niece suffered illness after illness and multiple complications from a "rare" unknown illness. In later years, my brother's son married and had a baby boy who has suffered from a "rare" form of cancer. Thanks to Almighty God this child has survived despite being kept by his wicked grandmother at times. He's now 4 years old.. if you are one that prays for people you don't know, please do so for this little boy please 🌷 ( She took over care for her elderly father two years ago.. he died of "natural causes" within six months. She then moved her mother out to an apartment and took possession of the family home. Wicked people are a reality.)

[@swhite5840]

I had this thought too when she talked about Tylee's illnesses. I think Lori was creating those for attention.

[@deborahcadabra-w5z]

Dr John, you talk about the sense of foreboding that Tylee felt. I believe Chad took great delight in telling her he was going to kill her whenever he could. That she was a zombie and was going to die. Sick twisted religious zealots. What sort of god would want this.?

[@dimitrageorgiadi5087]

Lauren and Dr John, thank you for this episode. There is one thing I would like to mention that I consider important. As an Eastern Orthodox woman , the concept of Jesus and the fallen angel lucifer is not that simple. In fact the teaching of Jesus in the New Testament as I have studied may appear simple,but by no means is. If you dig deep into the word of God , as I study from the original which is in ancient Greek , you find some complex and great insights. Obviously Lori is simple therefore her interpretation of anything is basic and raw. Jesus did not visit her ,for sure. Now lucifer may have done do, since she did his work.

Was it another attempt to distance herself from what happened to the children, I wonder? She seemed to move on from things fast, travelling, going to Hawaii, finding new relationships - constant movement to escape herself.

@@sparkieemae I think thats part of why she blames Tylee, if Tylee did a lot of the care for JJ, then she might have felt frustrated having to deal with him without her, because if Tylee had just been better then she wouldn't have had to do the things she did to her, and then JJ wouldn't have been as difficult to deal with for Lori. I think with poeple like Lori, everything is reductive and explanatory depending on what best frames Lori in the best light and supports whatever cray idea she has to justify whatever she needs justified.

[@Gangstgma]

A wise social worker once asked me what I was looking for when I contact my birth father. If it was something like regrets, 'wish things were different ' I wasn't going to get it. Why? Because people like this have to live with themselves. They can only live with themselves if they don't admit what they did or didn't do.

💯 Her using the phrase "brat" was painful: shes minimizing the tragedy while at the same time blame shifting. The fact that narcs see their children as selfish adults, how she's more hurt from losing her Golden child then the deaths of her other children, how she is now using Tylee as the perfect scape goat that can't push back, it really puts this into perspective. It makes me sick seeing these familiar patterns causing such devastation.

I believe she poisoned Tylee for most of her life, fed them unhealthy foods, deliberately made Tylee sick. I think this is where the alleged “pancreatitis” condition comes from. I believe it was Lori’s abuse of Tylee. She was jealous of the connection between Tylee and JJ also.

[@elizabethwoodley4340]

To me, Lori’s words reinforce a gut feeling I’ve had about this case. Tylee “had” to be killed because she was a “brat” to Chad Daybell and obstructed their grand mission. JJ “had” to be killed because Tylee was no longer there to take care of him. To Lori’s evil and self-justifying mind, that’s the same as: Tylee basically killed JJ and herself through her bratty actions of rebellion to “get back at” her mother. God rest the children’s innocent souls, may Lori face divine justice for what she has done.

It's a very twisted dynamic, but NPD moms see their daughters as things, extensions of themselves, not people.

1:00:08 Regarding this part of the conversation, I do absolutely believe still that Tylee was indeed a victim of Factitious Disorder Imposed Upon Another/Munchausen’s by Proxy. She mentioned something about a preschool teacher or care giver at the time, giving Tylee essential oils to DRINK because her stomach bothered her. I believe it could be that LORI gave her daughter essential oils in her food and beverages which made her sick, drugs which were not prescribed to Tylee for her own conditions, etc. I believe she did regularly drug Tylee, JJ and Charles. Did Tylee recognize that her mother might have killed Joe Ryan, her birth father?! I do wonder.

Lori has an angle to having this conversation, knowing this will come out one way or another. She knows her phone call isn’t private. She knows It’s recorded. She knows her court date is coming up. She wants to get these lies out there before her trial, while trying to convince Colby that she’s innocent. All these deaths were “not her fault” Colby’s emotional maturity and restraint was astounding in this conversation.

[@pwilly_1]

I agree w/ much of what you’re saying. I don’t believe she loves Colby in any true sense of the word. Her children like all people in her malignant self-absorbed narcissistic universe are “objects” to be used to her benefit. When someone is no longer useful or she tires of them or is simply seeking new narcissistic supply they are discarded. I believe Colby was sadly & likely manipulated as a young boy, his memories influenced by false & malicious narratives created by Lori to target & discard Colby’s father Joe. Her only interest imo in Colby at this point is to use him by hopefully recruiting him to be a Lori flying monkey. The best thing Colby can do imo is move on & get some high quality deep psychological help & go “no contact” w/ Lori.

[@lilmamacpa3062]

Love, love, love to Colby. He’s experiencing such an extreme example of what Dr John described as adults realizing that the environments they grew up in/parents they grew up with weren’t ok/normal. That statement really touched me b/c I felt understood. Nobody is all good or all bad, and as kids we only see the good (unless it’s obviously terribly bad). Actually, after typing that I realized that I would describe my own childhood as terribly bad now that I have my own kids - but as a kid I was thinking that although we didn’t have much, I had plenty of food to eat, friends at school, hobbies I enjoyed - all of my physical needs were met. It’s SO jarring when as adults we realize that our “good” parents were only doing “good” things for us for their own benefit. Kids don’t have the life experience to notice all the things parents should be doing for their benefit that they aren’t doing, or notice how they gain acceptance/praise/status from their peers which could be a motivating factor instead of love. Kids often fail to realize that abuse of any kind eclipses all of that “good.” I know I did, and continue to wrestle with what my responsibility is to my parents when they both hurt me terribly but also technically made me who I am. It’s difficult to come to terms with this on any scale. My deepest respect to Colby for doing what he needed to do in order to gain the understanding of what is really going on between himself and his mom. I’m sure as a dad his hair must be on fire just thinking about treating his own kids the way he and his siblings were thought of & treated. I am encouraged by Colby’s love, strength, and endurance in this trial. May God give him peace somehow, and I pray that the sweet family he is building with his wife will flourish in all respects.
