So the 3rd season as a Mom really got to me in a lot of ways, many ways were what the creators were intending ,but the biggest way this show got to me was all the freaking lying!! Now the first season when there was a bigger controversy over the realm of realness the show was about, the creators and actors were all about TALKING "if you are in trouble", "if you need help" TALK TO SOMEONE ...I wholeheartedly agree with this!.Here we are now at season 3 and the whole season is about secrets and lies..granted they have had a running theme that everyone has had secrets, it seems as though this season in particular has really used secrets as a spin and honestly in my opinion turned it around to make it seem like these secrets were justified. Now I know it's a show and for the sake of making episodes they have to stretch out the season but if you are sticking by you "making a show to heal youth who are struggling"and opening people up to talk about issues than maybe dont shove down teens threats heavy matter AND the need to keep quiet! ..in the end the adults were even lying and telling secrets and that to me defeated the movement the show started with.
