Quote From: missheidiYou were not reaching out for help, you were reaching out for a PITY PARTY! You're whole attitude and message is all about you. Oh you POOR SINGLE MOTHER!! Let me weep for you... NOT.
I happen to be the single mother to a very wonderful little boy who has a language disability. However, you wouldn't know it because of how I've raised him properly with LOVE AND PRAISE AND KINDNESS!
YOU ARE THE REASON YOUR KIDS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME. They did nothing and are not born wrong. They may have unique challenges but that is what makes parenting a joy and not a burden. You obviously shouldn't have EVER reproduced.
Able or Disabled, you do not have the right to EVER lay your hands on those children.
YOU are a physical and verbal and mental and spiritual abusive. YOU have set those children BACK in life and not helped them in any manner. So stop your whining and blaming it all on them, it's YOUR FAULT.
I will not commend you for 'reaching out' when we both know you just wanted some attention.
Let's quote some points that prove what I'm saying.
Savannah has terrible fits of rage, violent outbursts, and screams bloody murder when she doesnt get her way. DEAL WITH THAT!!! you havent seen anything yet. Im a 24 year old SINGLE mom with 2 spoiled little brats.
NO ONE who knows me will EVEN watch my one year old. (she was born a mamma's girl and a screamer!) IM ALL ALONE.
Can I get SOME credit?!
You should be in jail, and I am highly surprised you weren't picked up then and there. I have NO sympathy for you, but I have plenty of sympathy for your children. Further, Dr. Phil, I am appalled your camera crews did not stop her from mistreating her child like that.
Miss Heidi
Clearly you don't seem to comprehend the difference between Nichelle's daughter's disability and your son's disability. There is a tremedous difference between both and without dimishing what you go through, I have to say that Nichelle's going through a much tougher situation than you are.
I can't stand others' being so critical of Nichelle who had the courage to come on the show. You think she does this for pity? Hell no, this is an embarassing situation to be sitting there with Dr Phil and to have him grill you over your methods. I wouldn't be proud to have to resort to coming on Dr Phil to solve my problems... rather I find that it is humiliating.
I am not here to agree or disagree with Nichelle. I don't necessarily agree with the way she chooses to handle her daughter, yet I feel for her. It is not entirely HER fault. Instead of sitting there and judging others because your disabled child was not as difficult as Nichelle's daughter is, think of what it's like to go through that every single day of your life. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Get over your anger and realize that not everybody can handle difficult situations perfectly. We're human, some of us have short fuses, some of us have the patience of a saint, that's why we call it LIFE.
Hang in there Nichelle, many of us are thinking about you and hope that you'll be able to find the help necessary to make your life and Savannah's life better.
