Now tomorrow morning, I'll breakfast in bed, and then get straight up into the tweeds.

The impulse to protect children transcends every single barrier there is, including species! Even female rattlesnakes will coil around newborns until they can slither off on their own. Mama June officially ranks lower than pit vipers. And dumber. |

Radar Online is reporting Anna now believes June is indeed seeing the scum again and their relationship is pretty much done. Can't say I blame her.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this. From the sound of things June has always been pining away for this guy. He's the one that got away. THE DUDE GOT AWAY BECAUSE HE MOLESTED KIDS JUNE! WTF?!

If June testified against her own daughter, then she clearly doesn't believe that the pervert molested the other child he got sent to prison for molesting. Therefore, she sees no reason to protect Alana. In fact, she may be more inclined to put Alana at risk to prove to this creep that she trusts him.

So, the Gosselins, the Roloffs, and the Thompsons have all had major scandals. I guess the next TLC money train to go off the rails will be the Duggars? Fingers crossed!! I can't wait for the Duggars to be cancelled so that, hopefully, some of those kids can make a break for it. Topic...June is an idiot. |

No wonder he allegedly was doing the online dating thing. He probably figured out June wasn't that into him. If that's true, then Mama June may be more media savvy than we give her credit for. |

These two things: I worry about the kids, too. They all deserve safety and while the mom is a major part of the problem, I think her complacency speaks volumes about her boundaries and ideas for her own self-respect. If it's true that she is mucking around with this guy, she needs HELP. And someone to really check her, not just TLC.  combined with the fact that June had her first child at 15 really speak volumes about a lot of problems. June is clearly a terrible parent at the moment by not just passively failing her children but by actively putting them in harm's way and undermining her oldest child. If this were framed as an anonymous case study (JS, white female, 35), it would be really awful to think about the kinds of things she might have been exposed to that led her to her situation and the decisions she made, and what kind of emotional or educational support would be available to someone in her position. I don't think it excuses her behavior in anyway, but instead indicts larger swathes of society for letting what appears to be intergenerational problems like this fester. |

I totally agree with you about this when it comes to families that are dysfunctional, a word that can imply any number of minor and moderate mistakes that parents make when it comes to raising their children. And parents who grew up in a bubble of multigenerational poverty are more likely to make more mistakes, and more of those mistakes are likely to in the moderate rather than minor category. But I draw a line when it comes to clear cases of abuse whether it's physical, emotional or sexual. As far as I'm concerned there is never a "reason" good, bad or otherwise, for an adult to abuse a child. NEVER. When it comes to parents like June my liberal ass turns into a coldhearted, judgmental bitch who could care less about what she may have gone through as a child and teenager. She's an adult now, and she's not mentally deficient. Somewhere inside that brain of hers she knows that what she's been doing is wrong but she makes the choice to turn that part of her brain off.

Yep, I agree with both of you. While I truly hope she gets whatever helps she needs (and I have very little doubt that she must have endured some trauma herself if this is acceptable behavior to her), she has free will NOW and her minor children do not. No excuses.
(Not that anyone here IS excusing her.)

Keep in mind that she's smart enough to manipulate the media to suit her needs. She's hardly a naive babe in the woods being taken advantage of by all and sundry. She's cunning and manipulative and does everything to benefit herself - including throwing her own child(ren) under the bus. I still say she's a sociopath.

I agree that there's something wrong with her, but I'm just wondering if someone threw her away--is her pattern of behavior (going back to before Alana was born) learned or was she born malignantly narcissistic?
