I love 600 lb life, but I have found that there is a lot of drama this season, for obvious watching reasons.

I really love Fat Doctor more. It's from Britain and documents the surgery, follow up, etc. There isn't much drama and more factual about the surgical process and follow up. I love that show. I watched every single episode on YouTube prior to my surgery, it served as a great resource.

I could no****ch these episodes. I don't think there is any hope of him getting healthy or conquering any demons. I don't think he will be around much longer.

I'm so torn, i feel the need to have tough love with him, but then again i can see the manipulative addict in him. I want him to get better, i hate to see him in this state. I see the dark circles under his eyes, i see the cries for help, i see the fear in him, and the addiction.

I am a softy. I'd probably be a an enabler if i was related to any of them, thanks God I'm not, right?

I kinda felt that way until he was called out on the carpet for verbally abusing people and the look on his face was like....yep I do that and I know it. Bullies come in all sizes sadly.....

I have been a bully. It was my own misery causing me to lash out. I'm not condoning his behavior, but i see him for what he is. Utterly miserable, lonely and lashing out in desperation for any sort of attention. I can have compassion for him, because i see a little of myself in him.

My sons (who are adults) would never talk to me that way, but if they ever did they would get an ass beating. It's called RESPECT!!! I don't get being afraid of your kids. Especially the father. The father is in RI and he's in Texas and his father orders him pizza bc he's cussing him out and threatening him. WTH! First, don't answer your damn phone! How's her going to hurt you from that far away? He's def a mental case though and needs to be on psych drugs. I loved when his father finally stood up to him. I don't really think he would have let him be homeless though. I wonder how long it lasted. They have got to do a follow up on this one! BTW, I missed Part 1 A, did they say where the mom was. I assuming she passed?

OMGosh Gayle, I was screaming the same thing...don't answer, block his butt. But when I found out all this time his father was paying for his apartment I was blown away. He will not always be in the best health and when he needs help I hope his sons will be there for him. If they are alive
