After last episode, I am just not sure I can keep trying to make peace within this group. I feel like I've failed at trying to reunite this group of ladies. Maybe this is truly a job for Iyanla Vanzant. It's been a long time, and we have not been able to heal from what Mariah feels was an evil, wicked, intended blunder, and Toya feels it was very unfortunate, unintended to "hurt," but intended to praise by sharing what she didn't know was a secret. Whether it was intended or not, we have got two very hurt ladies. I have attempted to assist the ladies in talking through their hurt, but it just seems like we are not getting anywhere.
Now surprisingly, all the ladies agreed to take a road trip to a winery. Now I just didn't feel comfortable traveling in this close setting with the ladies. Against my better judgment, I went on this trip to a north Georgia winery. Yes, I am sitting close to the door, because at any point if this bus gets too hot, I am getting off. Simone and I had talked about separating Mariah and Quad to calm down the energy they bring to each other. Now I do see some baby steps with the ladies trying to be kind to one another. This is GOOD!!! We all had light conversation. Now Simone's big mouth decides to share girlfriend secrets (ahhhh, here we go again, sharing secrets!) I had shared some photos with Simone that I had taken for my husband for our 10th wedding anniversary and she decides to tell it. Now somehow it looks like I shared them, but I can't recall it happening that way. Now I would have rather kept that for my husband's eyes only, but now the world has gotten a glimpse. Simone, I'm gonna get you, girl!!! I'm gonna share some of your pictures.
Simone and Mariah were able to talk through their differences surrounding the "fight of the century"!!! It appears Toya really is ready to talk. Now Simone and I have worked hard to keep these ladies from reaching the point of possibly fighting again and Toya decides enough is enough and gets out of her seat and approaches Mariah. Now why is she touching Mariah again? Isn't this the thing that got the fight started the last time? Both of the ladies were able to express themselves and both of them were able to own their parts with this issue. I wanted to make sure Toya apologized to Mariah. Maybe we are finally getting to a place of healing for both of them. I don't want to get excited too soon, but I'll take this first phase of HEALING!!!!
You are the 'Voice of reason" in this group. I am glad Toya apologized to Mariah, however, I do not believe Toya had any malicious intent when she and her husband discussed the adoption. It is time to move on but in next weeks previews it appears Mariah's wicked mother may have been in her ear again, causing more drama.
I just love this show. You all are an amazing group of women; you have your differences and may be mean to each other but you broke the ice with the lemon squeeze. It was important to get them together. So glad to see grown women communicate with each other -- not perfect -- but at least communicate. Team Dr. Jacie!
Team Dr. Jackie!!!
This isn't a job for Iyanla Vanzant Dr. Jackie. This is a job for Mariah and Toya. In order for there to be peace between those two, BOTH women must heal. You're NOT giving them enough time to heal.
All I can say is wow. Is this how doctors wive's are in "ATLATNA" ?
If by trying to broker peace amongst your castmates, portray and carry yourself in a manner worthy of who you are, people mistake that for you being snobby or condescending, so be it. Like you, a lot of women are tired of the negative behavior on reality TV. Not in a million years would I have thought that blows would be exchanged on MtoM!! I sure did not see all that coming. It sure has gone downhill from there. God bless you, and keep being you.
Just get off your high horse. You come off as looking down on people and that is not a good look. Just keep been a lady in the street and a you know what in the bedroom. You showed us you are a closet freak. Nothing wrong with it, just stop trying to act as if you are a empty head when it comes to dealing with people not on your so call level. Because you put your panties on the same way other women do. You people want to talk bad about Mariah and Quad, at least they are real. My heart go out to you for having to go through your illnesses, thank God he brought you through, but honey you are no better than anyone else. Remember that.
charris75141@yahoo.com She is better than them she knows how to control herself. not the corner
Love love you!! Keep on doing what you are doing you the best. I was happy to see you join the ladies in the wine tasting tour and I loved your chat with Quad, you two made me happy that's the kind of show we should be watching not people tearing themselves down. God bless you.
Dr. Jackie please do not make it your job to keep the peace with the cast mates .
If they want to make a$$e$ out of themselves , let them.
You seperate Mariah and Quad, yet allowed Toya and Kari to sit togetherand they are the worst. You are so one sided and it sure is not on Mariah's side. The way you treat Quad is so disrespectful. You, Simon, Toya, Kari and their husbands should learn from Dr. Simon's husband, now that is a well balanced kind Godly man. He practices what he is preaching unlike you.
when I see you I think of how a medical professional is supposed to act.(((HUGS)))
Although your motives were pure and your intent seems genuine, why do you constantly feel the need to stand in judgment of these women's actions? What they do or do not do or say, has no bearings on you. Your job is to deliver babies and look after those who seek your expertise, therefore, your only responsibility is to be accountable for your own actions, not to heal the world. Again, I do feel that your intentions are pure, but sometimes you may want to give others a chance to resolve their own issues. Taking on the stress of others is not worth your health, be it physically, mentally and or emotionally. Diagnose, when requested and treat when solicited.





I learned something interesting years ago, in a management course, about different personas we take on when communicating. The "heavy parent" persona does not work when dealing with other adults,no matter how well-intentioned. You are a bright, wonderful woman, and I do believe that all the other women see this, it just takes a few days because they are so put-off by the delivery.
