TheDoctorsTV and Denial: When a Mother Abuses Her Child Without Prejudice
I would like to reluctantly comment briefly on this horrific episode. I wasn’t going to weigh in on this show, but I feel that some parent who wakes up to the medical facts that Dr. Travis and the other panel members are trying to hammer into the dense head of this woman and mother about her daughter could benefit from this message.
The message is: Do Not Force Your Child to Vicariously Live Your Life!
It’s one thing for this stupid woman to use botox and use cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance. It’s her body and she is free to destroy it, manipulate it, and perform any number of surgical procedures she can afford until she croaks. She is clueless and her beauty is superficial and transient.
TheDoctorsTV and When a Mother Goes Too Far
The doctors have confronted her and told her that she has gone too far with her daughter. Her daughter doesn’t need botox nor does she need cosmetic surgery vouchers for future operations at her age. She is being psychologically programmed against her Will to accept her mother’s Lifestyle, ethics, and behavior. It’s not healthy for that child.
If anyone knows this woman, I would encourage you to notify Child Protective Services to conduct an investigation and determine if she if actually fit to parent this child. The child’s health and mental well-being is clearly at risk. If this mother doesn’t get some counseling and change the way she is controlling her daughter’s young and impressionable mind, body, and emotions, she will do irreparable damage to that child. If a child ever needed to be sheltered from an unhealthy parental attitude and behavior, this would quality.
She ignored the information that Dr. Travis gave her about the repercussions of what she is doing to her daughter. Even the discussion about hair spray went over her head. She is going to continue to force her child into a life of servitude to play out a mother’s needs and fantasies through her child when she is too old to experience these things herself. She needs psychiatric care.
I am not a fan of pageants and artificial beauty. A young woman is taught to find flaws and try to fix what is not truly broken. It’s abusive. When you focus on outer beauty, instead of inner beauty and character; humanity loses. The time of objectifying women needs to end…once and for all. The shallow behavior of this mother is clearly ‘taking it too far’.
I have seen a mother coach her daughter to participate in pageants and it cost both of them dearly. It didn’t end well. I have also seen some good come from pageants, but it is all too rare. There are better platforms to build healthy lives around and dreams to be fulfilled that last beyond a swim suit, a gown, and a crown. Even the politically-charged and unorthodox questions that determine the winners are subjective and have no place in the race for recognition for beauty and brains. I would prefer to see an intelligent artist serve the public for a year than to see Miss Universe or Miss America or Miss Teen go through the artificial process that is called a pageant. It is without pride that I say this to those who promote such shallow activities.
I would hope that if you know of mothers or women who exhibit these shallow attitudes or behaviors…that you would interrupt their lives for a brief moment and tell them that they are worth more than their exterior appearance. They are uniquely special by the very virtue of being alive.
It’s child abuse to do what this mother is doing. Let’s hope it ends and that this child is salvaged from the wreckage of that mother’s unhealthy attitude! Pageants need to be revamped and changed to offer healthy choices and respect the inner beauty as well as the cultural concept of external beauty in the future.
