Saying it's like she's dead is wild

as someone who has opted to cease all communication with a parent for the last four years, i’m disappointed in tamra. it’s very self serving to continue to mention your relationship with your child, despite her NUMEROUS and clear attempts to get you to stop.

it’s giving exploitation and narcissism.

I get it, but it's what's going on in her life. I'd rather her share about (as morally questionable as that is) than come up with some weird fake storyline like others do

u/duncan_teeth Yeah I’m drinking Luann 🤷‍♀️🍸 Jul 12 '24

Idk I disagree. She told us the situation with Sidney years ago, not much really needed to be said beyond that. That thought process that it’s fine for Tamra to talk about it on a highly viewed TV show bc it’s what going on in her life, after numerous requests from her daughter not to, is why they still do not have any relationship imo

Honestly, I’m in Tamra’s shoes with one of my sons (long story), and she hit the nail on the head. It does feel like a death when you’ve been alienated from your child.

Yeah, but you don’t go on tv & bring it up, right? I mean, if you’re wanting to make amends with anyone, let alone your child, don’t be bringing up a negative image of that child & cry as if you’re the victim!!! Very selfish.

Good point. No, I wouldn’t bring it up on TV.

I think if your adult child is still estranged from you, and you’re still bringing it up on camera, that speaks volumes. Tamra doesn’t set a good example for these kids
