I have never been able to wrap my mind around a mother choosing a man (and a loser man, at that) over her child. But it happens. I am seeing it in my own life and I am seeing it in this situation with June.
We wonder, "WHY?? Why? Why would she do this????" As a mom, it's incomprehensible. But I realize now that sometimes there aren't answers. Sometimes people aren't who we want them to be. Period. And all there is to do now is GET THOSE KIDS AWAY FROM HER.
Hopeful One, it is so good to see you again. I haven't seen you around for months and was worried! I agree, the kids need to be removed from her obviously negligent and totally dangerous care.
It's disturbing to see this play out from the other side of the fence. We've seen the aftermath of SO many hurt children and we sit there in disbelief, wondering, "how"? It was so obvious! Now we know the mentality of the sort of "mom" who lives in such denial, weaves so many lies, is so detached, that even fame isn't enough to get her to see that her behavior and lifestyle are NOT OKAY. June is hated by most of the country right now, yet she just doesn't.get.it. And that's WITH the spotlight shined brightly on her with no where to hide. It's no shock that Anna suffered the abuse she did and I still feel with almost 99% certainty that Jessica was abused as well (she is described as having some sort of "brain disorder" so she may have been easier to keep quiet). As for Pumpkin, I'm still not convinced Mark isn't her father, but in either case, we know at very least she was exposed to the abuse of her oldest sister.
Alana is a lost cause. I already see the writing on the wall for morbid obesity, disease, teenage motherhood, addiction, single parenthood, poverty and abuse. The money will go quickly and she'll be back on track soon for the future she was destined for. And yes, I hope she proves me wrong, but if I had to bet my money...
BBM. Sadly, Alana already looks medically obese. She is no longer a very young child who simply had some babyfat. Couple that with her getting to that awkward age, her obvious attitude, her rudeness to others and the fact that she is used to people thinking she is cute. I see problems ahead for her. Children are not kind to peers at this age and June has done Alano no favors by encouraging obesity and the rude attitude.
Another fact that stuns me is June dating a SO not once but TWICE.
She kept her daughters in a dangerous situation. And lord why was she attracted to sexual predator?
June is as guilty as these creeps IMO....she wasn't even protecting her children by keeping these men away.
My biggest question is why did June allow her latest guy back into her life when she KNEW he abused Anna? Again imoo June is an unfit mother.
June has already said that she was into one night stands and sex with basic strangers. She met Alana's father that way, it was just a hookup for sex and they ended up together.
June is attractove to pedophiles because she has young daughters and simply does NOT care for her daughter's safety. She enable McDaniel by leaving her young daughters in his care while she was not home.
Frankly, June is not the type of woman that will attract quality men. She is slovenly, physically unattractive, not classy at all, has no morals and has no problems sleeping with mass quantities of random strange men that she just met. None of these are qualities that attract decent men, and certainly aren't qualities that keep men around. Her main attraction for men is the fact that she offers sex so easily. With her poor parenting skills, she is a pedophile's dream.
She is ignorant (or desperate) enough to believe that McDaniel was attracted to her. I think he puts up with her because she gave him free access to her daughters (and God knows what else). Now she is stupid enough to buy him a car, take him on weekend getaways, give him money and look for houses with him. How desperate is that.
Mike (Sugarbear) is rapidly looking like an idiot and pawn in all of this. On the RT interview last night , he said he just wanted to get back with June and be a family again. She stated flat out that she did not want to be with him. He also stated that he does not really believe her on all of her protestations of innocence and denial of the facts. He needs to man up, grow a pair and start fighting for his daughter and her safety.
June also believes that she will get the show back. She seems to think that if she just denies all of this and lies that things will magically go back to how it was. She is colossally deluded if she truly believes that.
Oh and June alluded to the fact that she may have cancer (self diagnosed, based on the fact that she hasn't felt good lately and is tired). Just another pathetic ploy for sympathy and attention, if you ask me.
Hey June, you don't have cancer, it is just likely your malignant conscience going rotten. Frankly, none of us feel too good either after seeing your disgusting and deplorable actions. Your behavior makes us sick to our stomachs too. And we too, are exhausted, because we are tired of your lies.
