Just saw the last few minutes of her on Watch What Happens Live


and, she still seems sick and in need of help. I can't feel bad for an adult responsible for her own choices. But, I feel sad when I think about the once beautiful and lively person she appeared to be. I say "appeared" because I don't know what kind of partying she did back in the 80s. I envied that gorgeous long hair and was jealous when she got to be with James Spader in Tuff Turf. Lol
Hoping that she gets help for her sake and her children.

On the Mother Daughter experiment tonight she seemed to be having some sort of turn, as if her personality had flipped. I felt sorry for her daughter trying to talk sense into her

I watched the mother daughter experiment also and her poor daughter Kim..as soon as she started to show real emotion about what her alcoholic mother has done to her, her entire life she flew off the handle and wanted to leave! She also would say "shut up, you better shut up..not here" when she would bring up her issue of drinking! She has four kids that went thru hell living with this crazy alcoholic and I feel so sorry for them. Truly. If she was not a "star" those kids would have been taken from her home!!

She started drinking in her mid teens, which she claims was from the stress of her career. She did a lot of partying up until she found out she was pregnant and stopped. But, now I understand why her mother asked Kyle to watch after Kim. Her mom knew Kim was in trouble and was really worried about her.

Unfortunately, Kim's son Chad is drinking heavily. He watched his mom struggle his entire life with her dependence on alcohol and yet he's following in her footsteps.
