I know the show producers and participants have a narrative to follow, and under the guise of wanting to help someone with a mental problem, but wow, the accusations thrown at Carol of being this evil gold digger, and the relatives not knowing how to de-escalate and when to step away from over the top confrontation, is just way out of line. Prompting her to say something nasty about her relatives, and when she doesn't comply, calling her combative? This is the most one-sided hate-fest I've seen on this show. They're usually helpful on this show from what I've seen, dealing with mental illness, but if I had all this hatred being directed at me, I would retreat into resignation too. Towards the end, it seems as if everyone is the bad cop, and Mary comes out as the "good cop."
This woman has my sympathy with people like this surrounding her. Ok, so we've helped Carol with her problem, can we get some anger management therapy for the relatives now?
