Did anyone see intervention last night? I watched intervention last night and cried my a$$ off. There was a story of a family that had 11 children. The older had to help the parents raise the children. One of the girls seemed to need more attention than most. So as she grew into a beautiful young girl that kept on. She ended up at the constant mercy of boyfriends (she ended up admitting that she couldn't be without a boyfriend because she alway felt like she needed someone and didn't want to fall into the crack like she did growing up). One got her hooked on heroine and she kicked that after almost ODing at home twice. She then moved on to Alcohol and with that went the hanging with friends. She was slipped drugs one night and the guy raped her over the course of five hours and taped it. She didn't know. A few months later the police had arrested him for something (probably did the same mess again and got caught) and her video came to light. So she fell further into drinking and pills to numb her feelings. When she finally accepted help and went into recovery it all stemmed from being one of a mass and needing extra attention. I cried so hard watching that episode. These babies and their care were so much on my mind watching that episode. I pray that nothing like that happens to one of those children but it's a reality of selfish decisions that people make like having too many children and needing to have the others co-parent with them.
