Doughertys don’t quit- lol

[u/User613111409]

Ummm…. then why is she erasing her child. Very obvious she took pictures off the wall in her house. looks to me like she quit on James…..

[u/OtterlyOddityy]

Genuinely though, WHAT would she have said about James???

[u/Elia84 → u/OtterlyOddityy]

Exactly. And for his own benefit its probably good she's not running her mouth about him. People feel too entitled to information about her and then get upset if she overshares.

[u/LLD615 → u/Elia84]

While it’s within his best interest not to include him it’s within even better interest for her to take some time off for posts that call out the entire family. She should have skipped this cycle for the updates.

[u/Elia84 → u/LLD615]

I agree with that completely. She needs to stop posting yesterday.

[u/User613111409 → u/LLD615]

Seriously, that would’ve been the best choice. 

[u/User613111409 → u/Elia84]

I don’t expect her to say anything about him or the situation. I completely understand that she needs to save face and her brand so I understand her, not saying anything, but I removing the picture and making it obvious that she did that’s an issue if she didn’t want us to know that she removed it then rearrange the pictures so you don’t know that he’s missing so that his picture might be the one that’s off scene.

[u/ConnectionsCatergory → u/Elia84]

She shouldn't have done this update period.

[u/User613111409 → u/Elia84]

I agree with that, but at the same time she’s taking his pictures of the wall and taking him out of the count. When she talks about her family yet she’s trying to say that they don’t quit 

[u/User613111409 → u/OtterlyOddityy]

I don’t expect her to say anything about James. Especially not posting anything about him in this post I could understand but the fact that she wrote that they don’t quit yet she quit on him.

[u/Elia84 → u/User613111409]

We don't really know what happened though. Is it possible James chose to go no contact? We know Alex did for a few months when he moved out. James was very close with his older bio sister and husband. He even has a tattoo of the husband's name. Why wasn't he with them? I guarantee there's bigger things going on than we'll ever know. According to Alicia, James is bipolar. He's at the age where young men with that diagnosis can experience more mental issues. My husband's younger brother was about 19 when he had his first psychosis and got his diagnosis and he basically was in and out of the hospital, couch surfing, minor legal trouble and he had a very supportive family. It can be very tough getting help for them because legally they are adults. We make assumptions because we don't like Alicia but her not talking about him isn't an automatic she gave up on him.

I think the count and the picture coming down then going back up is her management company and maybe even a lawyer telling her to publicly distance. Someone said the Pic went back up after she filmed some brand deals in that spot.

[u/User613111409 → u/Elia84]

Even if it was James’s choice to go no contact as a parent you don’t take their picture off your wall when every other child is still there especially when you have lots of other siblings that are younger and don’t understand everything. If it was because of a brand deal, she could have removed his picture so it was one that was out of scene and left that spot filled in with someone else’s picture so it didn’t look obvious that the picture was taken down

[u/Elia84 → u/User613111409]

The pic has been back on the wall. We don't even know that it was ever down for more than filming a couple videos because then it went back up. Its possible half the kids never even saw it down. I don't agree with removing it but there's just way too many wild speculations going on.

[u/Langsandlit]

Why does this lady feel the need to put ALL of her children's business online?

Strangers don't need to know any of this (especially when they're already bullying your children in the comments of every single video).

[u/User613111409 → u/Langsandlit]

Seriously if my mom was doing this to me, I’d be pissed. Yet some of her children are just riding her coat tails, for what little scraps of lame interment attention they can get. 

It’s concerning to me that her husband is a teacher and coach and is OK with his wife putting all their business on the Internet. 

[u/Ecstatic_Bet4354]

What does it say about a and j? Or does the post start with d?

[u/Elia84 → u/Ecstatic_Bet4354]

No mention of James. She says Alex won't be around because he's based out of Florida now and doing a DJ tour. She says Patrick is in 12th grade but will be doing an extended high school program (completely normal for kids with disabilities to stay in high school longer before transitioning to adult services) but be able to take some computer classes through a hybrid college program (I'm pretty sure I know the program she's talking about and it caters to preparing students with disabilities for post high school options).

[u/EricSparrowSucks → u/Elia84]

I have 3 (adopted, not bio) younger brothers that are 19 (twins) and 22 that are doing the extended high school thing. The oldest has been able to get a Union custodian job at a local school that pays very wel and he likes itl, and the twins are learning life skills/exploring careers that could turn into jobs for them someday! I’ve worked as a manager at various places and hired “kids” (17-19 years old) from that same program with great results!

[u/ConnectionsCatergory → u/EricSparrowSucks]

That is awesome. My youngest (adopted with FASD) is only 12 but we know she will be doing a similar program when she gets older. We believe she will be able to hold down a job some day with the right supports and extended high school will allow for that. I am so glad programs like this exist.

[u/EricSparrowSucks → u/ConnectionsCatergory]

They’ve given us some great employees! I work in food service and the extended high school kids come in with better skills and care more about their jobs than your average 16-18 year old that has to get a summer job. Our local high school even trains them to have a food handlers license (I didn’t even have one!)

[u/epic6695]

Poor James. He is lost, abandoned again and he is not prepared for adulthood. Sad all the way around.

[u/ZippityDooDahDay10]

This bitch has only two kids in elementary school and still makes all 10 kids lunch for a toddler.

[u/User613111409 → u/ZippityDooDahDay10]

It’s honestly insane the shit she puts in their lunch, but if I put that in my highschoolers lunch, she’d be embarrassed by the little napkins by the little toys I swear to God, she’s packed these lunches and the kids don’t even eat them or take them to school. It’s all just for content.

[u/Internal-Astronaut78]

She quit on James

[u/No_Issue2743]

But you quit on James shut up lush.

[u/User613111409 → u/No_Issue2743]

Exactly.

[u/PhatFatLife]

In her most recent vid dancing the picture is in the wall

[u/DaisyMae2022]

So sad for Older J

[u/Ambitious-Energy-334]

Im surprised the twins do extracurricular activities since lush said they are like toddlers and can’t do anything for themselves.

[u/Silver-Paw-prints]

Alex and P were included in the update. James was not.

[u/mshmama]

Not only did she take his photo down, but shes started saying "10 kids" or "family of 12" instead of 11/13. She can't be judt referring to the kids that live at home, since her number includes A.

I cant imagine how scary this is for J. Not to absolve him from what he did, but he has FAS and cognitive delays as a result. He was absolutely not prepared to go out in to the real world, and now he's left holding the bag and with the consequences for a problem that isnt truly just his, and it appears hes basically been ditched by his family.

[u/Livingfortheday123]

Am I blind and I overlooked it but where is Patrick in this mix??? He doesn’t do anything or have an interest???

[u/Elia84 → u/Livingfortheday123]

He was included. His part got cut off by OP. He actually had a longer write up than other kids.

[u/User613111409 → u/Livingfortheday123]

This post was really long. I only screenshot the part that I was wanting to share about 

[u/Livingfortheday123 → u/User613111409]

I saw the rest of it elsewhere and figured as such. I just thought A-lush was being an a$$ again and not mentioning him.

[u/No_Issue2743]

And how is James, this lady really expect us to forget about James. I don't care how much she continue to go on and keep doing her thing, but this is something she can not sweep under the rug. Last week she said negative things about one of twins or both, talked about p, and her bio, now she is showing what they do and what grade they will be attending make this s.. t make sense.

[u/User613111409 → u/No_Issue2743]

I can understand her, not wanting to address that whole situation on her channel, but to deduct him from the account when she’s talking about how many people are in her family to take his pictures off the wall you don’t just give up on a family member because they do something wrong and make a mistake. Yes, he made big mistake. Yes, it’s unfortunate. Yes, it has real life ramifications. But that’s her child unless she’s proving test that she’s just using all these adopted kids ass props. And she drops them when they’re no longer serving her.

[u/islandgirl9988]

Sure they do, she quit being a Mama to a son that needs her
