A silly reality show


I must admit I watch this show Kourtney and Kloe take Miami. Guilty pleasure biggrin Does anyone here shames my shameful secret and watches this show?

Last episode this guy Scott got drunk or something, threw a fit and ended up in the hospital. I've been there, done that and even have the freaking tshirt!! That exact same behavior that that guy was exhibiting I've seen on my AH. Even to the part when he gets out of the hospital and calls her and makes her feel guilty because she wasn't there for him.
It may sound stupid, but that episode really shook me. To see that from the outside thru a TV was weird, cause it's just so familiar to me. It just hits home, cause I remember dropping my crazed AH in a hospital parking lot with his knee bleeding and him calling me with the same bs excuses and manipulation.

I do have to say I thought the girl was really strong cause she went to the hospital and then decided not to go up to see him. I don't think I would have been able to do that.  

Honestly I can't really explain how I felt seeing that episode, I just know it felt weird and it made really anxious.

I watch the show sometimes as well. I've seen the previews for that episode and yes, it was familiar to me too. Crazy how alot of our experiences are the same or similar.

First time I've seen Scott on that show I did not like him. There was something creepy about him and now I know.

Thank you for posting. I wonder if they will have a rerun of that episode.

Hi Priscilla smile.gif

I don't watch the show but I know that strange feeling of watching something and seeing someone else living your life basically. It is very odd to see that from a different perspective with no emotional involvement. The recognition I have in those situations can be great starting points for growth!

much love
Jen
