He didn't get to see his Lil Mady Lyssa playin the sick card AGAIN ! No Leland and no call or text or boo from Duane lee Nor from Dillion

Why on earth would she think letting the whole world know this will make the family estrangement any better? Once again she is using emotional blackmail to try and manipulate the kids to do what she wants. Plus this gets her lots of attention from her groupies! I bet she’s sorry there wasn’t a film crew there to see her play the part of the anguished “Mom”. This is exactly the sort of drama that tore the family apart in the first place. We’ve only had a glimpse of how difficult relations have been, why would any of them want to subject their own children to such a hostile family environment for Christmas. Beth can’t resist taking a snide snipe on Twitter how much aggressive would she be in person. It’s hardly the epitome of maternal love to publicly humiliate your family and be the creator of yet more drama that doesn’t need to be played out in public.

DL. BL and Leland are all grown ups with children of their own. Everyone reaches a point when you have to take a step away from your parents to create your own family traditions for your children. When you become part of a couple you have to divided holidays between both sides of the family. I think the kids should have been very proud of themselves for sticking to their guns. It must have been very hard for them not to bow to Beth’s pressure. Whatever they feel about the shadow of the man their Dad has turned into recently they do love him. They’ve all been estranged from Dog in the past. Things just seem to have reached the point where they have had to make the choice of jumping off the perpetual roundabout of drama. Dog has chosen to hide behind Beth rather than listen to his children. Surely he can see they have a problem with his wife, so couldn’t he go and see them alone if it is so important to him? Beth’s ego is just running wild. If the kids don’t jump out of the way now they will be totally crushed by her need to control. Wesley does seem to be revelling in his new role as favourite son (for the moment).

Just an aside but if Beth has so much concern for her grandchildren she needs to learn to spell their names properly

 

 

I agree.  When I was reading those tweets, I kept wondering who were they benefiting - why Beth of course.  Her days of playing concerned and caring mom are in the toilet and she really needs to let this go.  You can not always have what you want and it seems Beth is getting a huge dose of this medication.  I figured she'd be thrilled it was Christmas with HER kids and no competition from HIS kids.  Isn't that what she wanted all along?  Well she got her wish.  And if Dog is unhappy, well, he can thank her.  Life as he knows it is about to change drastically.  And him acting like a fool trying to revive the Prank Call Network did not seem to work well for him since all of the tweets have since disappeared.  Maybe it is time for Dog and Beth to grow up and smell the coffee!

I don't really know what fractured this family, but Beth's statements on the Rosie show, coupled with Dog's lack of response disputing or correcting Beth probably was the icing on the cake. If I were Dog and my wife publicly humiliated my son Leland, I would have offered a response to mitigate the sting, such as "No, he didn't have a meltdown, but he felt strongly about his brother." And after Beth humiliated DL and his fiance, Dog could have again offered a response, but sat mute. It was shameful behavior from a dad who preaches family values and certainly would have caused a chill in any father/son relationship. Beth really does need to go to the back burner if she really wants to save her family and the show.

I know I shouldn't expect anything better from Beth, but am shocked at how vindictively she is acting towards DL, Leland and BL. She is so bitter, she really seems to want to destroy each of them. She is using her Twitter to start all sorts of rumours about their mental stability, parenting skills, relationships and financial situation. She seems to be judging them by her own standards by going on about they don’t want to work, but want the trappings of fame, when the simple truth is that they no longer want to work for her. As each day passes Beth seems to be more eaten up with jealousy. By her actions it seems she is constantly brooding on the fact she can no longer control their lives.

Dog should be ashamed of himself as he sits back and lets her get away with such malicious behaviour. His “ministry” (as they now appear to calling it) counts for nothing if he is prepared to throws his own flesh and blood to the wolves in order to maintain his waning fame. The legend of the bounty hunter is fading as we now see the weak man that lies beneath the hype.

Sounds to me like Beth is losing control and it is killing her. Lynette is obviously a strong woman who has been a tremendous support to Leland and Beth can't stand the fact that HER world is crumbling. Hope she enjoys the fall on the way down because she will have to pass everybody she has put down over the years. This is what happens when you burn all of your bridges................

Wow! She is so strange. People her age and in her position usually try to bring family together, instead of drive them apart. And if she thinks she can get the public on her side, she is so wrong. I tolerated because Dog seems to like her and she seemed to be accommodating to DL, Leland and Lyssa. But if she is just going to bash them and Dog's going to watch, then she's the big ole troll everyone always said she was.  (P.S.  I hope they all make up though.  It really is too late for Dog to get someone else.)

 

I think Beth is just mischief making with the Tweets about Leland’s private life. She is unhappy she wants everyone else to be. Just because she won’t let Dog out of her sight in case he strays doesn’t mean that everyone else’s relationship is in trouble if they don’t spend every minute of the day together. Most people have separate careers, businesses, hobbies and friends while still maintaining time for a close, loving personal relationship. Once again she is projecting her own insecurities onto other people.

Beth is really clinging at straws now, she is a control freak who has lost control. She figured she could spin DL’s departure by making him look selfish and impulsive. She hadn’t factored that his leaving would be the catalyst for BL and Leland to look for new horizons. One kid jumping ship can be brushed under the carpet, all of them leaving means that something is badly wrong and people will realize this. I think that she believed that she could lure Leland back by putting lots of pressure on him about his close working history with his Dad. Maybe one of the reasons she is mad at Lynette because she is giving Leland the support not to fall for Beth’s emotional blackmail. With Beth it seems to be that you are either her friend or her enemy If you’re not completely on her side she believes that it gives her free rein to attack you.

Wesley’s specializes in marketing so Beth sees him as useful to her as she now has to try and re-launch DTBH without the boys to pull in the viewers. Beth is nice to people when they can be of use to her. She’s already trying take control of Wesley’s life by telling him he needs to get his youngest out of diapers. Heaven forbid the child’s mother has an opinion on raising her own child.

As usual you are right Nameless. She was just referring to leland as her son again. She's not old enough to be his mom. Imo she calls herself mom and and the guys her sons for authority purposes. It's a huge clue when your kids aren't calling or stopping by at Christmas. Once again she uses twitter to tear down her family and air out their personal problems.

It didn't come across nice or appropriate to me either when I read it too.
