since the release of Jaclyn Glenn's
video about Eugenia Cooney following
immediately after Shane Dawson's
interview with Eugenia there's been a
lot of discussion about Eugenia smother
Jaclyn states that she feels Eugenia
is still in danger because the mother is
still a part of the picture
many people on the internet who seem to
agree in this video we're going to
discuss the family's role in recovery
and how it may help or hurt the person
trying to recover what is up everybody
this is Chris from the rewired soul
where we talk about the problem but
focus on the solution and if you're new
to my channel what I try to do is take
different topics going on in the YouTube
community and try to see what lessons we
can pull from them to improve our own
mental and emotional well-being and I've
done two videos so far kind of following
this story so if you're into any of this

let's jump into this topic because I've
been receiving a lot of comments about
this just hours after Shane Dawson
released the return of Eugenia Cooney
Jaclyn Glenn and her friends released
their video telling their truth I made a
video yesterday which you can find up in
the info card about whether or not I
believe it was a good idea for a Jackman
to release this video regardless of
whether or not it was the right thing to
do it started a conversation about
Eugenia Cooney's mother for a long time
Eugenia Cooney continued to lose weight
because of her eating disorder and many
people in the community felt as though
her mother was enabling this behavior
for anyone who has had a loved one
struggling with an addiction or an
eating disorder you know how hard it is
to get that person to
he'll eventually it came to the point
where Jacqueline Glynn and her friends
had to step in to have an intervention
with Eugenia and force her into going to
treatment when the intervention happened
Eugenia's mother was on the phone
screaming at Jaclyn Glenn threatening to
press charges for kidnapping
Jacqueline Glenn also discussed how
Eugenia was allowed to do all that much
and she even had a driver who kind of
doubled as a bodyguard
this led Jaclyn Glynn and her
friends to believe that Eugenius mother
is a danger to Eugenia and if she's ever
going to recover something needs to be
done about her mother since I released
my video yesterday I received an
astonishing amount of comments stating
that this reminds them of the Gypsy Rose
Blanchard case for those of you who
don't know Gypsy Rose Blanchard's mother
didi Mae gipsy believed she was sick for
most of her life and even had gypsy use
a wheelchair even though she could walk
this story is extremely complex and if
you want go check out some of my
previous videos about it but one of the
things is gypsy wasn't allowed to tell
the truth to anybody about what was
going on and she even had a feeding tube
which she didn't need either she was
also made to believe that she was
allergic to sugar this eventually led to
gypsy meeting a man online they Nick and
go to John who she convinced to murder
her mother didi so like I mentioned in
my last video Jacqueline Glenn
might be right I understand why she
still is concern but I want to use the
rest of this video to talk about my own
personal experience doing a lot of
interventions and working in an
addiction treatment center and things
like that to kind of play devil's
advocate because I personally believe
there isn't enough information out there
but there's a lot of stuff that we can
all learn from this situation first I
think we need to address the people
comparing this situation to Gypsy Rose
Blanchard and her mother didi I
personally believe that in order for
this to even be in the same ballpark of
the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case we'd have
to believe that Eugenius mother was
purposely keeping Eugene s sick as a way
of getting views and money and in order
to believe that you'd also have to
believe that the only reason Eugenia has
an audience is because of her eating
disorder and
might not be fair to assume but if
that's not the case why didn't you
genius mom do something more well as we
learn from Jaclyn Glen's video
Eugenia didn't want to give help and
made a ton of excuses is it possible
that you Jesus mother tried to help but
Eugenia did the same thing to her again
mental illnesses like eating disorders
and addiction are tricky and they make
the person believe that they don't have
a problem
there's also another reason Eugenia's
mother may have not tried harder to get
Eugenia help and it's something that
I've personally experienced many times
so like I mentioned I have been in
recovery for a little over 7 years I've
worked in an addiction treatment center
for a little over 3 years and I've been
a part of many interventions and I've
had to help many people get help for
their addiction alright and something I
wanted to discuss in this video is
something that might have been the case
with you genius mother and this is
something that I wish didn't happen as
often with parents or even spouses or
significant others and this is being in
a complete state of denial that their
loved one is suffering and this isn't
what I'm about to say this isn't a good
reason it's not a good excuse but I hope
you can empathize I've seen a lot of
parents deny that their son or daughter
has a problem with addiction because
they feel if they admit if they admit
that their son or daughter is suffering
then they also have to admit or their
mind tells them that they're also
admitting that they're a bad parent and
they failed alright so this can cause
many parents to be in denial and think
or even say that their child doesn't
need help because they they might feel
even on a subconscious level that this
is a bad reflection on them being a
parent but like I said I've seen this
happen many other times where like a
significant other doesn't want their you
know partner to go get treatment because
then they feel like well well I should
have been able to help them right like
if you let your child or your spouse or
significant other go get help from a
professional treatment center you
you are also acknowledging that you
couldn't help that person and if this is
something that you're dealing with like
I really hope that you you come to terms
with this and it no it's like you're not
a doctor you're not a therapist you're
not a psychologist
me and you are loved cannot save anybody
in many cases the person needs
professional help
jacqueline also feels that Eugenia is
still in danger because the mother is
still in the picture
but again Jack Lee may not have all of
the information so one more time to play
devil's advocate Eugenia has been in
treatment for a while then she loved
treatment she's been out for quite some
time and Jacqueline Glynn hasn't had
much contact with Eugenia Cooney so the
question I want you to ask yourself is
it possible that Eugenie's mother has
been part of the recovery process for
example and many treatment centers
Family Therapy is a thing all right so
what we don't know and what wasn't
discussed in Shane Dawson's video is
whether or not you Gina's mother might
be part of the recovery process by going
through her own individual therapy as
well as maybe doing family therapy
sessions with Eugenia all right like
this is very beneficial and the reason
why Family Therapy is so important is
because a lot of family members don't
understand the mental illness that their
their loved one is going through why
like many people who struggle with
addiction their mom their dad their
sister their brother the friends the
family whoever it is they don't
understand what that person's going
through so in a family therapy session
not only is the loved one able to
understand a little bit more but a
therapist can help these to communicate
and see how they can kind of help each
other during this recovery process so I
just want to put that out there that it
might be possible that Eugenia Cooney's
mother is also involved in this recovery
process I guess at the end of the day
the question we all have to ask
ourselves is what did Jacqueline think
the end game was gonna be would
Jacqueline have only been satisfied if
Eugenia went on Shane Dawson's video and
discussed how awful of a person her
mother was does Jacqueline want Eugenia
to sever all ties with her own
because the reality is it's not that
simple a major part of recovery is
setting boundaries like Jacqueline Glen
might be right to be worried about
Eugenia because of her mother all right
but we have to remember it is her mother
okay
like this is much different than a
situation where maybe somebody had you
know a boyfriend or girlfriend or
husband or wife like you can break up
with that person you can get a divorce
but your mother will always be your
mother so personally as I watch the
video I'm like what did Jacqueline Glen
want like this Jacqueline Glen want
Eugenia to never speak to her mother
again because that's not really
realistic again I just personally feel
my personal opinion is that it is way
too soon to make all of these
assumptions that Eugenia Cooney is still
in danger because of her mother because
we have nowhere near enough information
to make that conclusion and again like
the question is what was Jacqueline
Glen's
endgame like this is something that was
an issue with the whole Eugenia Cooney
storyline is like this Jacqueline Glen
want people to go rescue Eugenia or save
her because that's not something that's
gonna work like I don't know at this
point all we can do is sit back and just
hope the best for Eugenia and that she's
doing the right things making the right
decisions and embracing her recovery you
know what I mean
again I completely empathize with
Jacqueline Glynn and her friends and how
they are still worried and concerned
hell whenever life I have friends or
family members who get sober like I'm
worried about them like one of my best
friends is about to come up on four
years sober four years sober and I still
worry about him know I have seven years
sober and people still worry about me
you know what I mean so I think it's
good like we have to remember it's a
good thing that we worry about our loved
ones but we need to really kind of check
in and see what the right way to go
about it is alright but anyways let me
know your thoughts on this holes topic
down in the comments below like do you
think we have enough information so far
to make these assumptions you know what
I mean let me know your thoughts down
below all right
