On a side note... that horrible woman Schemes has set up a gofundme acct. asking for 50 grand! 

You know me, I couldn't resist making a smart ass comment on her Facebook page. The comments on there were entertaining.

[QuinnInND]

That breakfast looked amazing. But not what they should be eating.  

These fucked up childhoods.. I thought mine was bad.

Gravy is for roast chicken/beef/turkey and mashed potatoes in my world, not breakfast.

It's a southern thing I guess. Don't knock it til you try it.

Wait...she hid an entire pregnancy and birth from her husband? Neat trick.

Not blaming anyone, but it's sad that it's such a common thing that so many women marry these men who become asshole stepfathers.  It's not fair that their mother brought someone into their life who they didn't choose for them to abuse and molest them.  

I just watched this series on amazon prime, 'Murders and their mothers.'  Trust me, the revolving door of step-dads, abuse or not, seems to be a prime reason guys go off the deep end. This is one reason I didn't bring another man in when my husband died. My son was 14 - lots of possibilities for family drama. Nope. I wasn't going to bring that into my home.

Gosh - I'm listening to these two discuss their family history. Wow. And you think you've got problems?

Biscuits and gravy is the bomb. We have them once in a while in the winter. 

[MsVixen]

Are those braces on the daughter's teeth or are they just ugly?

[zoemom]

Starting to get close to ending up like my mom.  Ya think?

They broke ya, but you have to fix yourself.   Marissa needs to learn that lesson.

I assumed so. I'm in New Jersey.

You know what almost-just almost-worse then these piece of shit child molesters, is the piece of shit mothers who know about it and don’t kill the fucker. 

Totally agree! Geez, and the daughter was raped too! Damn those bastards.

[Pepper Mostly]

Marissa needs to meet Mr. Right and have a kid? WTF?

First impression: I kind of like Mom and kind of don’t like daughter. 

And my eating habit is a couple of Hostess cupcakes to celebrate the finale. 

Not the finale. New episode next week; Bettie Jo & Susan

[dreadfulLeigh]

Wait, did she call him “Dad”?

My dad died when I was two and my mother never remarried.  I think she had 2 dates my entire childhood.  She said she was too afraid the guy would be a wolf in sheep's clothing...

[Pepper Mostly]

That's a lot of chicken. But look! A vegetable!!

[MsVixen]

Jennifer's weight seems to be mostly in her lower half.  Her face is close to a normal size.  Marisa looks heavier.

[LordOfLotion]

OMG the mom's feet were so dirty.

I screamed "NO SHE DOES NOT" at the TV when she said that. JESUS CHRIST.

Women cannot win. Of course no mother(an actual mother not an egg donor/surrogate) would want someone to possibly abuse their child, but there’s so much pressure to live a heteronormative lifestyle if you’re a single mom, ESPECIALLY if you have a son (that “male role model” thing.) you had to make the right choice for your family. 

 

Dwayne has his issues but he did get clean and get a job, he may just be an addict and not an addict who’s a morally corrupt person.

My 86 yo, WV-born grandma's homemade biscuits and gravy are everything. I have breakfast with her every chance I can. I can't eat canned biscuits or powdered gravy ever. 

[fonfereksglen]

I' m having problems with a lot of vagueness of the storyline.  Lots of accusations and no charges?  As someone generally sympathetic to addicts, I' m not buying everything.  So, that is that for these two.

[Kid]

At least Jennifer’s boyfriend has a job.

[zoemom]

Does anyone eat at a dining room table?  What's the deal with eating off a pillow.

If Dwayne would lose Jen, well don't worry there's always her daughter........

[Quof]

Daughter is happy when Dawayne cooks, because then she can just sit and be with her mom?  Aren't they together all day, preparing and eating food?

That's an update episode, though. I guess this is the last of the new people.

Yup.

[Shnoopy]

A living hell indeed. What's she gonna do? Sit on you? Leave the room, leave the house! Enablers on this show are such pussies!

Yeah, but it’s a Where Are They Now episode. I’m pretty sure this is the last one with new patients.

I KNOW! And not even the bottoms of her feet - the filthy consumed all of her feet. Didn't she have a shower that morning? It's not like we didn't see it!

[dreadfulLeigh]

These people. Geez. When eating, even sitting right beside each other, there’s no conversation, no smiles. No interaction. Just shovel, shovel, shovel.

I can eat a canned biscuit.  But instant Gray? No way! It's so damn easy to make.

Of course dear Verizon didn't bother to give us that little tidbit of info. Thanks!

You're preaching to the choir here. My mom wrings her hands because she worries about me not having a husband (I am divorced with a child and happy just to date my long term boyfriend and keep my own place). And I do feel like the oddball when all my relatives are married.

[zoemom]

How ironic.......now there's a commercial on for Kyleena IUD's!

Canned/powdered gravy is blasphemy. My mom makes the best gravy (for meats). The year I moved into my first apartment she gave me the instructions printed out and rolled into a scroll for Christmas. There is competition at the dinner table; my dad thinks he is entitled to have some. My mom and I disagree (but we let him, anyway). My brother doesn't eat gravy. I think he must have been switched at birth.

I am going to have an Atkins breakfast bowl for dinner.It's not biscuits and gravy but it will have to do. Nuts.

The daughter seems to have a weird fixation on her mother. Honey. You are not 11. You're 26! I can see a young child wanting to be with Mommy all the time, but Marissa's a grown woman. 

[Miracle Maxie]

In two weeks we get Melissa with a whole two-hour update (after eleven years!) all to herself. 

[Quof]

My eating habit today included a small, plain Pinkberry - my first sugar since starting WW in February(22 pounds)    So it's raw veg for me for the rest of the night.  

[Concerned]

They don’t live in the South. They live in Bend, Oregon. You would think they would be aware of the basics of nutrition — that they should eat vegetables, not biscuits and gravy. That they need to exercise. That they should sit around the house eating. Dr. Now doesn’t have secret eating advice. They live in a progressive community with lots of resources.

[Donut Bear]

Bettie Jo and Susan is a "Where are they now" follow-up

I like the where are they now episodes! I wish they’d do one on Sean. I read his mom passed.

Been shacking up for 22 years now. My mom finally stopped griping about it.

I mean make some slippers out of mops and spray them down with spic and span before you walk or something... There are ways to get a job like that done if you are especially lazy like I am...

They're gonna fly

[knuckles491]

I don't know what it is...but I don't get a sense of urgency with these people. They seem ordinary, compared with last week, for example.  When they cry, I don't see any tears.
