Absolutely! Any therapist worth his/her salt is going to stress the importance of boundaries, consequences, nd consistency when dealing with an addict. Maci and Taylor are right to protect themselves and their children and follow through on their word. Ryan has still not earned himself any shortcuts and likely never will. I was annoyed with Dr. Drew for pressuring her on the issue, and pleased to see Taylor defending her by asking him why fixing Ryan's relationship with Bentley is HER responsibility. It's not! And good on Maci and Taylor for knowing that. Sounds like she has a good therapist. Ps. I'm new here but have been lurking for ages. Hi all!!! 🙂

I was hoping for more meat in that interview too, selfishly, but honestly, it's probably in Carly's best interest that reasons for witholding visits was not discussed. Who knows the reasons why...but if they have anything to do with her emotional wellbeing, which I'm sure is B&T's priority since they seem to be mature and well-intentioned parents, then they are right to protect her privacy so fiercely. Matters that sensitive should be dealt with behind closed doors when children are involved.

I noticed that. He asked Ryan how his sobriety was going...Ryan said a dismissive, "Great," and Dr. Drew didn't push it. But the eyes, the inability to sit still, the dry mouth...this guy is nowhere NEAR sober. Disturbing to watch.
