I would describe my family as hostile,
toxic and vicious.
Check you blood transfusion ass and just keep going.
The names they call each other are horrible.
You're a piece of (beeping).
My sister calls my mom names
like old, fat, disgusting. You go
to your own court date you old ass hag.
My Mom doesn't just sit there
and take the name calling.
She gives it right back to her.
My family hasn't gotten along in 30 years.
They just hate each other.
My childhood consisted
of physical violence,
fighting and yelling.
Growing up I had a decent relationship with my mom.
Now my relationship with her is almost nonexistent.
She's selfish, rude and obnoxious.
Adrienne has always been the bully.
She gets loud or gets aggressive.
My mom and my sister don't have a mom
and daughter relationship anymore.
My sister is like the boss,
the controller
and my mom lives in fear.
Shes' home,
that's why I ran like a bitch.
The police have been called at least 20 times
in the past five months.
My sister's been living with my mom
for two years and hasn't paid rent.
Earlier this year,
I had my mom and my sister come to my house
so we can set up a plan for my sister
to start paying her way. I hate you.
I pray on your death that God will take your breath away.
Everything started to get chaotic.
I knew my sister was getting
to a point where she was very mad and enraged.
And that's when she came over to my mom.
Adrienne, Adrienne,
Adrienne, Adrienne.
Why did you just do that?
She just choked me.
She just jumped on my couch,
whopped her in the face
and then choked her.
Like all the way back into my couch.
I didn't choke you,
I slapped you. I feel
as though I'm the referee.
I'm always trying to stop situations going back
to my childhood.
If my family doesn't listen to Dr. Phil
and get some real help,
I will need to walk away from my family
and there will be no more relationship with me and them.
But Adrienne says she shouldn't be
the only one blamed for the family's arguments.
Erica fights with her mother too.
The idea that my mom
and my sister get along is an absolute myth.
Even on the drive out here,
there was a fight before they got in the car.
Why don't you just take it down a notch.
Rotate on it.
Mom there's a lot going on right now.
Bitch, shut up I don't give a (beeping)
what's going
on with you. They had
to get separate hotel rooms
because they couldn't get along.
Are you guys continuing
to go to the Dr. Phil show?
Is that what you're doing?
Yeah. I'm getting
the (beeping) out of here.
My mom is the biggest problem.
She never likes to have any peace in the family.
She has told me she was gonna slit my throat ear to ear.
My mom is always looking to start fights with me.
She's not fighting
'cause she doesn't love me.
She's really fighting
with everyone 'cause she doesn't love herself.
The times that I've been physical
with my mother is to protect myself
and wrestle her for her keys when she would be drinking
and driving.
She slapped me repeatedly in the face before.
The only thing I do is push her away from me.
This is my motto for her.
I tell her all the time,
disturb my peace and I'm calling the police.
The reason why I have been calling the cops.
She told Erica that she was gonna shoot me before.
It is very embarrassing to have the cops have
to carry your drunk,
screaming mother away who's fighting and biting the police.
We got into a fight,
I believe I did slap her in the face.
Maybe I just went like that
and put my hands on her.
It was very quick.
It wasn't,
like no mark was even there. She jumped me like that.
'Cause all right,
why do you hate me so much?
Why can't you talk to your child?
I moved out of the house
because I knew it was getting serious.
My family is extremely dysfunctional
and we all need a big wake up call
because there's nothing anyone can say
without it being a huge blow up argument.
What's your payoff for all this?
What are you getting out of this?
Nothing. Oh, nothing at all.
No, that's not true.
Hold on let's stop.
Let's stop right now.
Let's stop before we even start.
When I say what's your payoff,
you live like wild animals.
You yell,
you scream,
you fight,
you live in a trash dump.
I mean come on.
What do you really want out
of today? Healing and a family.
Really, okay. I would say
that would be starting with going
off of the truth.
And that would be how we're how the house is,
how it got that way.
And then,
then moving through
the truth would help us get it out of the way,
with our issue.
Well he just asked a different question.
So what's your pay off for all of this?
I don't have a pay off for this.
Everybody has a pay off,
you don't do anything consistently without a payoff.
No, I,
I moved years ago
so I could get away from this.
My payoff has been nice.
I'm here to ask what your problem is with me?
I want to know what these things are with you
and mom against me.
