She has never been able to handle her life. Parenthood was the last thing she wanted or needed.
Why is her son popping pills? Probably the same reason his mother does.
Hey Marie, let up on your son about being a good Mormon boy, let him be himself.. perhaps that has something to do with this? Sounds too familiar eh sister Osmond?
Cold? Sorry, its just the cold hard facts.
To bad that PP and Merc even take the misery and challenges of another to exploit their hatred of anything LDS. Get shrink dudes.

I might be kicking-a-dead-horse here, but, seems to me being happy/comfortable with who-you-are is a prime factor of one's approach to life. When we look around it's obvious there are achievers and grievers. Usually not in the same skin.
Non the less we/they all go through the same life-fundamentals: born to die, breathing, eating, excreting, sleeping, loving, lusting, getting up and going about THEIR/OUR day. In that each is a success.
As parents, all contributing to, or taking from the personal-potential-packages born to absorbe THEIR environments. Generally making us who & what we are.
In those beginning crib-kicking and tawdling days it matters little if the care giver is frumpy, homely, educated or illiterate. What matters is how they responde to that absolutely dependent 'package'... blah-blah-blah ... BUT, when 'package' becomes conscious of attendents disposition and reactions to day-to-day's with anxieties/fears or openess/trusting with positive--or negative--expectations and responses, THEN begins the absorption of herbs and spices that will flavour, to a great degree the emerging person from the package.
BIRTHING IS THE NATURAL PURPOSE OF MALE/FEMALE ATTRACTION TO PERPETUATE OUR SPECICES.
PARENTING--MOTHERHOOD & FATHERHOOD--IS A DEVELOPED SKILL TO ADVANCE HUMANITY BEYOND IGNORANCE, INDIFFERENCE AND INJUSTICE...
In the parenting process, i respectfully suggest we are barely at the beginning stage of skill developement. We have learned jungle survival skills. But they are moment by moment showing themselves to be counter productive to the higher purpose of humanity. (As suggested in the Mount Sermon?)
Tribal Eminence and Personal Prominence are beginning to show that they too are part of the false 'economy' that has based much political & personal ambition through out man's existance. (Warned against in the same Sermon?)
ANYWAY... Relevant exibit: Yesterday, in a Super Store i watched a Dad, with his four year old daughter in his arms, approach a display counter of digital cameras. He hunkered down to her level and they both began inspecting the display, chatting away as they did so. He picked one up they looked at it. Put it back. She picked one up, they inspected it, she clicked the flash and laughed. I went over to them and she took my "picture" as i complimented him for being, "a good Dad." (In my opinion:-) We chatted for a moment about children and their needs. They were only going to have one. (A good idea I agreed) We then parted with a hand-shake, smiles, and another 'flash'.
That would have been a very unlikely scene several generations ago when, "children were to be seen and not heard." When they couldn't touch anything. When they must-be-still and quiet.
Brought to mind an article I read within the past few days re "Parenting Styles": Authoritarian, Authoritative, and Permissive. Authoritarian, parent rules without question. Authoritative, open discussion when at impass parent has last-word. Permissive, child rules without question. Seems the above Dad is in the middle group, lucky daughter. Warm regards, Roger
