Did anyone see that bullshit "press conference"
Mrs. Schindler just called Michael out.

wants him to relinguish her daughter, because he has his own kids.

2. You know. He's so lucky his kids were with another woman.
Imagine the horror if she was the grandmother?

19. That would be even worse
Then they'd be saying "do it for the children Michael. Save their mother Michael." Yes indeed lucky. This woman sounds worse than my grandmother.
:crazy:

6. Was that their LAST, last press conference?
I'm sorry to sound so crude but the more I hear about them and their exploitation of their daughter, the less compassion I feel for them.

I cannot believe that they would sell videos of Terri in her hospital bed.

13. Yes............
I heard on Dan Abrams tonight that for 100 dollars you can have the video tape taken of her from 2001. No wonder her husband does not allow anyone to take any kind of pictures or video of her. This is so sad.

22. A 100?!
What? A 100 dollars for a private personal video tape? That's it. They're greedy bastards and I don't give a crap about their feelings. I never have. They even have a "foundation" where you can send them money directly. I believe they're supposed to be helping other "disabled" people (more like themselves).

14. I don't think there's anything "funny" about it
pathetic, yes.

funny, no.

I'm sorry -- I don't buy the "desperation" ploy.

anyone who sells their own flesh and blood, and capitalizes on their illness -- well, hey -- that is pretty "desperate" isn't it?

who testified that even if she knew her daughter would not want to be kept on life support, she would do it anyway.

31. Great Point NSMA!
Terri would have been better off if she had been an orphan! This whole debacle is sickening. I hope she passes soon and goes in peace.Actually, I believe her spirit departed about fifteen years ago.

33. Piece of Property
As a mother, that interview made me sick to my stomach.

You do not OWN your children, Mrs. Schindler. They are NOT PROPERTY. Your daughter is/was an ADULT WOMAN with her OWN IDENTITY. You want your "baby" back so badly, go out and buy a DOLL. A doll will do EVERYTHING you want it to do. You have paraded that poor woman around like some painted PUPPET for the entire world to see. WHERE IS YOUR DAUGHTER'S DIGNITY. I am not in the least bit surprised that your daughter had an eating disorder. You obviously tried to CONTROL her entire life, as you are now. Is that why you could never admit to yourself that she might have where her OWN desires and wants which were DIFFERENT from YOURS?

Ok, enough said before I get an ulcer.

41. You're Echoing What My Wife Thinks...
She bristles at all the personal attacks on Michael and the characterization of the Schindler's as a loving family. Both of us smell the hustle...especially with that Ben Stiller look-alike son whose manipulating all of this.

She mentioned how most Bulimic women have self-esteem issues and they generally revolve around their relationship with their mother. It's moms who can be the most critical and she thinks there were issues between Mom & Terri all those years ago that was the cause of the Bulimia that led to the heart attack.

They're gearing up for the movie version!

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't sell off pieces of her clothing in laminated pendants as relics.
