What do you think Farrah's main issue in life is?

She's really a puzzle that I can't seem to get unless she's really a sociopath who enjoys hurting other people deep inside because most of the time there's not a smile when she's doing it. The most you'll see is a smirk.

She keeps regurgitating the same story about how her parents were "cruel" to her so the woman she is today is because of that but even if that's the case - her parents pretty much erased all of that when she gave birth to Sophia and the amount of ass kissing they continue to do till this day because they truly love her and their granddaughter. So I don't understand why she keeps holding onto that when it has no real affect on her life today.

She gave birth to Sophia and her parents turned into bona-fide baby sitters. She still wanted to be a teenager just like Jenelle but kudos to her for graduating high school. She moved away to another state and while she was in school she still needed them to take her full time and so they did.

Things didn't work out so she was able to move back home by living in the guest house and paying rent (if she did it was probably a few times because you know how her parents are). She did a low budget sex tape and her parents bent over backwards to defend her against the world who thought she was lying about not knowing it was going to be released. So because of this sex tape, she made some serious cash and ended up on various reality shows. And guess who's watching Sophia while she's in Couples therapy or Big Brother UK? Her parents.

The point is whenever she needed them they were there. You think when she was living in that apartment when Sophia was a baby she was truly independent? Please. Her parents were wiring her money with the income they had at the time. They weren't going to let Farrah completely struggle. These two people that she claims to despise because of the way she was abused growing up are always at her beck and call. Look at this season where Farrah is opening up all of these businesses yet her mother is right by her side playing the position of the CEO.

So what is her real problem because her parents can't be the foundation anymore. Even in therapy with Dr. Jenn she doesn't seem to "get it" even when they're telling her she's the cause of some of the lack of communication because of her entitled behavior. It's like at this point what more can a doctor, family member, or even a stranger tell Farrah that you treat people like crap and it's not right. She just keeps continuing to do it.

This is why I'm like was she destined to come out of the womb to become a horrible person with no real catalyst behind it? She could have been abused. It's not cool to just completely dismiss someone who says they were because we live in a fcked up world but we have been a witness to her life since she was 16 years old. After a while, you can see the signs but I just never seen them besides when she was smacked in the car by Debra. Abraham never had a back bone so I never saw him hurting a fly. I did read about people on the internet saying he might have molested her but Farrah doesn't act that she could have been towards him. He's the one that's scared of her and the way she is with Sophia makes me think that she would never let him near him alone if that happened.

No mother is perfect and I say this because she has more of a clashing with Debra than Michael. I just honestly feel like after puberty, Farrah became a nightmare of a daughter because she was probably spoiled all of her life and they could never get a long after that.

Maybe she's just truly a horrible person because the last episode before the reunion made me realize that nothing will get through to her. Her mother could be crying her heart out so the disrespect can stop and Farrah will be sitting there unfazed. Then, when she talks to Simon about it she has a distorted perception of what happened like she was the one that was attacked.

Maybe others on the board have seen something from the show that I've missed that would conclude to her being so hopelessly awful?

I just watched the fight. Debra stayed calm and her body language seemed to make her appear to be being honest in her defense against Farrahs accusations. Either because she was being honest or she believes she is. Basically Debra seemed pretty solid here and she didn't even escelate which to me shows she was truly trying to remain open to what Farrah had to say. I've been in situations lie that. Things happen, people do have their own perceptions of how things may or may not have happened and they have certainly had some blow outs in the past. But at this point I feel Farrah may be seriously, mentally ill by the way she attacked Debra no matter WHAT she said. Tries to explain told to shut up, stays quiet accused of not trying to communicate, etc. I've definitely been in that position and it's scary, sad and you feel totally helpless. Farrahs way far gone /out of reality at this point and possibly one of the few people I'd say is beyond help. Even Sophia seems to be showing signs of empathy far beyond what her mother is capable of.

I think she's just a horrible person. It's not like she's just rude to her parents or takes everything out on them. It's to anyone and everyone.

She is the most hateful, horrible person I think I've ever seen. You wouldn't be able to have a conversation with her.

I think MTV should get rid of her. She isn't entertaining... it's not a good look for them to be allowing that behaviour on a show thats supposedly trying to help young girls. Fire her a** and show her she can't get away with this behaviour.

BTW I also think she's noticing how much Sophia loves Deborah while starting to see Farrah for what she is ( sad as that is for 6 year old) . And I actually kind of fear for Sophias physical and psychological well being as I honestly see Farrah turning on HER very soon. I've mentioned before I'm releaved and surprised to see Sophia showing more signs of being empathetic! she's called her mom rude on several occasions now (and not in a bratty way, was very matter of fact specific examples and she was RIGHT), and goes to comfort her grandmother after Farrah tears in her.

Farrah has always screamed sociopath to me. She wasn't too bad on 16 and pregnant then she just totally changed its weird shes a true fame whore , she seems to think she has talent and that the world worships her.

I'm actually relieved that Sophia is more empathetic, I remember last season she chastised both Debra and Farrah for their attitudes, Farrah towards Debra and Debra towards the realtor. Also she's becoming more aware of Farrah's lewd behavior such as prancing around in std shorts and her scantily clad photo shoot. I hope Sophia grows up into a decent person.

Yes Farrah is extremely *beep* up, no argument from me on that. But her parents are a _real_ piece of work. It's like they are totally deranged yuppies that did the whole "princess" thing too far. I have met other deranged adult women like this who think the world owes them something, think that they are way prettier than they really are, and treat everyone like *beep*

I think her behavior is partly to blame on her upbringing. I know Farrah has an older sister who said that Deborah was crazy and caused her and Farrah to come out crazy, too. I don't think a bad upbringing is any kind of excuse to act horribly, though.

Catelynn had a *beep* upbringing too and she seems fine. Granted, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to be friends with her, but she's a hell of a lot better than Farrah is. Farrah is disgustingly rude to absolutely everyone that crosses her path; someone could literally say "Excuse me" to her and she'd flip out yelling things like "Oh my god you are just SO *beep* rude like seriously....you need to...sort yourself out cause....you have issues sweetie." It's like everything and everybody in the world sets her off.

I can tell you one thing and it's that Sophia is gonna grow up to be a wild, out of control child and absolutely hate Farrah. It'll be karma for her.

I don't think Sophia will ever hate Farrah. Farrah hasn't given Sophia a reason to hate her...yet. I do think she will be embarrassed and disappointed in her mom. Maybe she'll keep her distance from her at the most.
