Surrounded by Loving Support
#LOA
Though many have speculated that Kim Richards has addiction issues because of Brandi’s rude comments to her during Game Night and a couple of incidents where her speech had been slurred, her ex-husband is speaking out on her behalf regarding her decision to enter rehab.
In Life and Style magazine, Monty Brinson (her ex) said she “wasn’t happy with her life” and “she wanted to seek help so she could get better for herself, her children, and her family”. Apparently the interview did not reveal specifically what addiction she is in rehab for, it does seem to stress that she was interested in healing her life so she could be a better mother, sister, friend and an all-around better person.
Hats off that he is in support of her and that she has a bevy of friends and family who support her in her goals.
We should all have bleachers full of loving people supporting us in our efforts! What a better world it would be for all of us if we just knew we could do no wrong! Don’t you agree?
Your friend,
I read somewhere, honestly can’t remember where, that the producers of Housewives of BH made her go. Stating they couldn’t chance another fiasco to the franchise & told her it was rehab or she will be off the show
Well, you may have read that here because I forwarded that heresay on to our blog. Having said that, it’s always beneficial to find an avenue through which we can get a fresh start, a relaxer, a vacation and a revisiting of our life and goals. Uninterrupted self-indulgence is often the route…a little yoga, some healthful cleanses, etc. Oh, yeah, I think I’m talking about a spa-cation, but I think rehab works, too.
Perhaps I’ve watched too much of the show “Intervention”, but the counselors always say that you can force someone into rehab, but unless they’ve hit rock-bottom in their lives the success rate will be low.
I hope for the best for Kim, my heart truly breaks for her and her family.
Your heart mustn’t break for Kim and her family. This is a very positive thing in their lives. You heart must, instead, be singing for them and the new possibilites of a happier life for all of them. It’s a good thing, though the transition may be hard. That’s why we have rehab, though, isn’t it?…to get through the transition and over to the other side without biting anyone’s head off? And it sounds as though she has made the decision, either for her career or herself, to take on the difficult challenge ahead. I am so delighted for her.
I believe you are right, that it is a very positive step. I think Kim grew up with less of a child hood than most of us get, and she put her life into her kids forgetting to think about the day they would all be gone from the home. That day has come. Today the doctors just hand out the anti-depressants and they have different effects to different people, She gave Paul the list and instead of quitting one and trying another, sounds like they just add to the list. I can see how people would believe that she was drinking or on drugs it made it look that way. I hope that this will bring her back to where she needs and wants to be in life, because I think she is not mean spirited, she was just so confussed and medicated it made her look so much worse than she really is. Or so I think anyway.
What a nice, positive thing to say. Of course, you know I believe Brandi was way out of line trying to call Kim out on that and one of the reasons why I’m not keen on Brandi is that she refuses to apologize or see the error of her ways. Not only did Dr. Paul confirm that this would explain why they all thought she was on drugs, but certain illnesses actually can create the same effect, so to jump to the immediate conclusion that someone is on drugs is inappropriate.
I am especially fond on exes who behave like mature adults with respect for their former spouses. His support of her desire to have the very best life possible is such a nice thing and, you’re right, they did have a less-than-ideal childhood and it sounds like she’s been in a giving place (being a mother), ever since. Thank you for contributing to the post with your kind thoughts.
