nothing in these text messages makes her mother out to be a horrible person, but a loving supportive parent jmo.

Skylar's mom says she was freaking out and glad it was a mistake (email saying Skylar was preg).

IDK? If my teenage daughter had a history of lying to me, and I received an email from my long time OB/GYN by mistake saying my daughter was pregnant, I think I’d be calling the doctor first not asking my daughter.

JMHO

Days after giving birth in her bathroom and burying her child, Skylar texts her mom:" Im literally speechless with how happy i am my belly is back..."

These texts are horrible... she's encouraging her child to take laxatives?

OMG, those texts about her weight. Worst. Mother. Ever.

Notice how she is scared of the “boy doctor.” This is an eighteen year old calling a male physician a “boy doctor.” She is manipulating with her baby girl talk.

I was unsure about Mom knowing, but she is totally besotted and believing of this child of hers. Definitely in denial but she is totally loving and supportive.

Maybe I am in the minority... but I'm not really seeing a caring mother. I am seeing a mother that wants to exert complete control over her daughter. Telling your daughter to continue taking laxatives... is... horrible. This girl's brain must have been so warped!

I have noticed today that Skylar is not shaking like she was last week. I wonder if someone watched the videos and noticed how bad it looked and told her to act more calm.

There is a lot of discussion in these texts between Skylar and her mom about working out and losing weight.. rocking it in Destin. Burning calories and on to abs. #SkylarRichardson has had eating disorders since she was 12 @Local12

Thank You OSU for keeping everyone up to date with the text messages.

There has been no "Honey your body is beautiful the way it is - you're going to have an amazing time at prom!" from her mother. Just all talk of body and losing weight and using laxatives. This is a mother speaking to her daughter who has had eating disorders since she was 12. Unreal.

 

[Gardenista]

Surely what she was doing to her daughter with the weight thing is child abuse. I can't believe people like this exist.

Totally agree, on all counts.

I am so torn with mother's pushing her to lose weight after struggling for years with a major eating disorder. Why???

 

[Boodles]

Notice how Kim often uses “I” when she means “you” (skylar). It’s as though she’s living vicariously through her daughter. What a weird mother to be so happy about her daughters weight and appearance! Sickening.

I’m not sure what’s happening right now..the journalists have temporarily stopped tweeting.
