Dateline NBC

From Wikia Entertainment

About the dateline aired last night (5/25/09) - I waited to calm down until this morning so as to be more rational but it didn't work. Dad (Paul) is a red-neck SOB who has done nothing for his son other than ruin his life. I see pictures of a handsome, apparently healthy young man who was unfortunate enough to have Paul as a father. As a result, he appears destroyed and lost as an adult. Smoking pot as a young person did not ruin my life and I have raised two college-educated children who I have stood behind and supported emotionally throughout their lives. Paul has done nothing for his son other than destroy any self esteem he may have been able to get on his own in life. Of course, I don't believe a mother could do such a thing to their own children, but Dateline calling this 'tough love' is reckless and attempts to legitimize a poor excuse for a father. Paul should clearly be ashamed of himself. [[Category:Can someone please help me locate the episode that was shown in either late June 2009 or after about a man who did not want to visit his mother anymore after she suffered from Alzheimers. I believe it was a tow part documentary and it showed the host using a pair of dark glasses designed to demonstrate what struggles an alzheimer patient faces daily. Thanks. I just cannot find the episode in the archives on the site because I do not know the title.]]
