I know Karen's mom showed love to her family as best as she knew how, but to just rule out TELLING Karen that she loved her was just plain cruel. People need to be told too. That one simple loving gesture could've saved Karen, and she didn't even want to do that! When she finally did, it was too late. My family and I tell each other "I love you" every day, multiple times a day. I've never gone a day in my life without feeling loved. That's what a family should provide.

You guys should stop bagging on her family, no offense. But families just want what is best for each other, so they try to help, it may not work and they might not realize it. Even though they could have been contributing factors to Karen's problems, they didn't mean to. How would you feel if someone bagged on your family? Just chill is all I am saying.

Karen't mom refuses to look at the facts. She only wants to place blame and be right. She needs to get slapped.

Karen's mother infuriates me! She is so damn bothersome. Ugh..sickening

I'm not blaming agnes but I've gotta say if my little girl was in as much trouble as karen, the way someone addressed me would be the least of my concerns

@M0r3Lik3HERthanME Karen says.. "I just want to have a husband... and children.. and a family.." But the way that Cynthia is crying and hyperventalating its difficult to make out. when she says "husband" its barely half pronounced and the pitch of her voice on "children" and "family.." make it very hard to understand... Hope this helps..

@SpunkyLamb - I know Karen's mom showed love to her family as best as she knew how, but to just rule out TELLING Karen that she loved her was just plain cruel. People need to be told too"

I knew a mother / daughter who told each other 5 times per day that she loved each other. I always got the impression that neither really belived it, because their actions screamed the opposite. Contrast with my own mother where such words are seldom spoken, but ACTIONS have left zero doubt.
