OK, I read most of it. I couldn't get past the mother taking off on a trip with dad and leaving a daughter home with two other kids... A daughter on medication for anorexia and bulimia and a daughter who was clearly calling out for help. She was sick. SICK!! That mother's excuses for everything make it seem like that to become a parent you should get a license. And on top of it, all the dirty laundry being aired out about her daughter for all to see.

Any mom who loved her daughter would take the heat for some of it. She took no responsibility for any of it. It was all Rachael's fault. And I still would like to hear what split the parents. I could guess.... but it would all be speculation just like most of this.

I agree as well. There is a lot more than meets the eye here.

I think so too.....

Did you purposely skip the part of relatives, neighbors and the police department keeping watch over them?

Why just blame the mother in this case serenity4ever?? And now you blame the parents for airing their dirty laundry in public??? Really? RACHEL started this entire debacle...it's ALL of her fault.

Why because I sense something about her family life is going unspoken... There is something in that family that the public are not privy to but the daughter was. I don't go by two crying parents in court garnering the support and sympathy of parents across the nation with a kid who happens to be a headache.

And I don't buy the stuff about people looking in on them. You don't leave a sick girl who they are claiming is a problem kid alone with two younger siblings. You just don't.....

She wasn't alone with them!

It's hard to assign blame unless one lives in the home.

Leave out your senses and provide proof, like the parents did. Smile

Even if she wasn't alone with them.....she clearly was in crisis mode and the parents chose to take off on a trip. As a parent, my primary interest would be making sure I was there for my daughter, not jet setting to some destination because my marriage had been in shambles.

That's just an opinion and I respect yours.

The bottom line is that no parent should be ordered by law to pay college funds for their adult child living at home or not.....this case wasn't just about this set of parents but ANY parent...if this girl had won this case then every adult child wanting a college education could sue their parents to pay their way.

You are right and I am sure she will lose. This case could set a bad precedent and no judge is going to allow her to win. I just wonder, though, why the attorney who is paying for this whole thing wasn't smart enough to realize that.......UNLESS, he just set the whole thing in motion to get back at her father.

The plot thickens.....hmmm.{#emotions_dlg.confused1}
