1. "RE: Kelly Graduating " |
I'm Glenda, Kelly's older sister. Yes, it's proof that they graduate anyone who they don't want to deal with completely. SO had to realize that Kelly needs "professional" help with her anger towards her family (Dad, Mom, me, and brother) She might have come home and is a better person in her home, but she came home VERY angry with all of us. I find it hard to believe that someone with her anger can actually change in 8 weeks. I hope she finds happiness one day.

I thought SO was trying to bring her closer to her family. I say this because I know she made a call to you, and your mom...although she was kind of mean to your mom, I thought she sounded genuine to you....boy, I guess it was all an act for Rhonda, huh? I wonder why SO didn't bring you or your mom to the SOH?

8. "RE: Kelly Graduating " |
You know, one of her last sessions was with Dr. Stan and she actually told him about her tiff with Jodi. He had a great opportunity at that time to try to put her in her place, because if anyone could get through to her, I believe it would have been him. But he didn't. It was almost like he figured out it was too late.I think you hit the nail on the head when you said she's treating you like that because it's too painful to deal with. It's obvious also that she holds her husband in high regard, and perhaps being a father figure to her, is being sort of protective of what is safe for her. She sees you guys as a threat to that sanctuary. But still... that's no excuse to treat you in a cruel manner. The sad thing is that here you are, obviously caring about her. You've watched the show, and hoped for her change; wanted to love her and be given love in return, but it didn't happen. Hopefully someday she'll see the love you have for her. You've done your part, and do not deserve to feel bad.

As a fellow poster, Kelly's sister is entitled to the same protections as anyone else on here. That means you may not bash her. Please read our FAQ and guidelines if you haven't done so.

>You have absolutely no family loyalty airing your >grievences on this website. I only want to discuss this part of the post, not the bash for which this poster was deservedly warned. "Family loyalty"? I've heard that term used mostly by people who mean that you should never speak ill of another family member in public, no matter what that person says about you. It'a a noble goal. But it's not one that I aspire to emulate. Speaking just for myself, I wouldn't tell outsiders anything about family members who behave nicely toward the family (the "cooperate" model), but I wouldn't hesitate to trash family members who behaved like Kelli (the "conflict" model) to outsiders. Especially after Kelli's comments on national TV. How do others feel about this?

They have done this before and they will still do it as long as they get people like her. I honestly don't think SO could of done another thing for her other than kicking her butt out the door. Bye Bye Kelly. Watching you daily made me realize not to sweat the small stuff because you're doing it all for us.

Not to get off the subject of family. If Kelly is truly an angry person (as we now know is her true personality), how has she been able to keep a steady job as a waitress for 25 years. I would hate to have made her mad and let her handle my food No disrespect to you GeeGee45.

Kelly was angry when she came into the SO house and she will leave just as angry as when she got there. She took that anger out on anyone who disagreed with her or that she was jealous of. I am glad she is going and I wont miss her at all. At least now they have a HM who will keep us laughing. I will say this though Kelly has a wondeful kind and caring husband and two well mannered handsome and kind sons. I would assume that they take after their FATHER?

Kelly is an excellent waitress and her guests like her service and they tip her well. However, she has had many issues with fellow co-workers / bosses because of her attitude. She honestly wants to leave waitressing because that work takes a toll on your body. She's been going to a Junior College and the last I heard she plans to get her X-Ray Tech. License. I hope she finishes her goal.

I think some people are just born mad. They think they always get the short end of the stick. Someday when Kelly is an old lady she will think, why did I do that? I think she needs some spiritual help! Sometimes that helps people like her..

15. "RE: Kelly Graduating " |
As far as goals go, the LCs can only work on so much, otherwise they'd all be like Allison or even worse, live there permanantly.Kelly wanted to work on her goals and go home. She didn't want to deal with the people in the house or try to fix every single thing in her life. I think Kelly deserves to graduate. I don't think she's changed drastically, if at all. I do, however, think that she's gotten all she's gonna get from the SO house. Going by Kelly's personality alone and not comparing her to others, I think they've done what they can with her. There may not be huge improvment but maybe Kelly's personality is handled better by praising her for small improvments. I never expected a dramatic change in her. It's kind of like high school. Some people graduate with high honors, others just get by. I don't think that she has failed in any way butI don't think they should invest anymore time in her either. Therefore, a passing grade. Not well deserved but not undeserved either. ...My opinion.

19. "RE: Kelly Graduating " |
I've been sick of Kelly since she began her attacks on anyone and everyone that didn't do & say what she wanted and who weren't immediately afraid of her. She showed no intention of dealing with this anger ... even seemed to get energy, life, and pleasure from it. I don't feel this part of Kelly has changed. Where I do see a possibility is in her desired relationship with her children and husband. Maybe ... just maybe she can find out that the rest of the world is not laying in wait their entire lives to get her. Maybe she'll find out, like I heard someone say, if you actually knew what little amount of time others actually spend thinking about you, you wouldn't worry about others.It seems Kelly wanted to make her changes ONLY for her immediate fam (sons & hubby) and made that abundantly clear. I was shocked she was never called on her "mean girl" bully attitude and that it was simply referred to as a "tone"! But at least she admitted she has ruined much of her sons memories ... even tho she took that "tone" with them in discussing the matter (when her older son said "Mom, it's OK" I thought she was going to bite his head off when she said "No it's not" in that "YOU ARE WRONG, I AM RIGHT and don't argue with me!!!" tone.) But maybe she will see when and where she insists on being "right - end of discussion" . In all the apologies I saw, she was saying she was sorry while demanding she was right about it all and everyone else had no place responding. I suspect Kelly will try to continue being decent to her hubby & sons ... she has established her position with them and is therefore safe learning to be vulnerable with them. They know well what she can do yet they never gave up on her ... so she can safely put down the whip and maybe even give them a little breathing room. I suspect even this may be difficult for Kelly. If she sees any one of them getting a little "out of bounds" based on her definition, and heading down a track that she doesn't like, I suspect she may put them back in their place ... then calm back down into a more loving place. For her sons, I hope she can let them explore who they want to be, what they want to do. I am sure they have lived being who she expects and may still choose careers, activities, etc. based on what they have been told is "acceptable". But, heck, we all do that. It's just a time to let them begin exploring what THEY want. I too want my child to choose a "good" career, etc. but my opinion of "good" may be different than hers ... and that is always hard. The true test of parenthood is when your child chooses something you yourself would not want (be it career, spouse, interests, etc.) yet you are able to support their decisions and love them when they aren't the person you dreamed of before they were born. Kelly did irritate me but I did learn to see glimpses of the qualities she wanted - once she had established superiority and control. For now, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt ... that she chose to ONLY concentrate on her immediate family, knowing that is vital and really an emergency for her. Maybe she knew she could never concentrate on being vulnerable with her family if she thought she had to let her guard down with anyone else. Maybe someday she can begin applying it to others. I do think Kelly may be just one of those who will never feel safe in letting down her bully guard unless she first knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you will never, never, ever cross her .... ever!

It's ok, I understand your hesitancy to believe that I'm Kelly's sister, but I am. I am not here to rag on Kelly - I guess I needed a place to vent my frustations that my fantasy to have a relationship with her once she left the SO house vanished right before my eyes. If she learned enough tools to save her marriage and build better relationships with my nephews then it was worth it because they are her priorities. Maybe someday down the road we will meet up and repair our differences.

GeeGee45, I had a falling out with my family a few years ago. We have always been a very close group. Every holiday and birthday was spent together. For one year I did not speek to my family. It was the worst year of my life. There was a lot of hurt felings and anger that I had to forgive in order to get back to that close family I had before. In that time I learned not to sweat the small stuff and not to hold a grudge. I hope you and Kelly can become as close as my sister and I. Both sides need to agree to just put the past behind you. I value every min. that I have with my family because you just don't know how long you may have with them. I wish you and Kelly the best.

69. "RE: Kelly Graduating " |
GeeGee I've read most of your posts and, not that it matters but, I DO believe you are her sister. Because of that I will try hard not to sound disrespectful here. It seemed to me that Kelly had to de-humanize a person before she could ever feel for them or have any compassion for them. Like if she barrated them enough that they crumble to a vulnerable state where Kelly feels she reigns, has power over, or is superior to, then and only then does she see them as a person. (Like with Kim, the only time Kelly softened with Kim is when Kim came to her crying and apologizing) She got along with Jodi only when Jodi was vulnerable. Does she have such a low self-esteem that she thinks just everyone is out to get her and has to tear them down to find their weakness so she can feel good about herself? She admits in confessionals how she lashes out to people (in her anger state) very vindictively. It's calculated like her cooking next to Jodi just because she wanted to get under her skin. This type behavior really warrants therapy, I'm wondering if she does this to those she loves as well or just anyone outside of family. Is she getting after care treatment of any type? She has the capacity to reach out but I don't know if it's just Kelly's personality that has a mean streak or if she is just so filled with the inner voice nagging of low self-esteem that she reacts this way and doesn't even realize why.Is she the kind of person that if a family member wanted to reach out to her that they would have to seem weak to her in order for her to listen to them or be open to communication with them? I think it must be quite difficult for you to understand right now and to cope with her with all of her issues. I see that you love her and get frustrated that she seems just so unreachable.. sometimes it's best just to love them from afar and not bring that negativity into your own life.. which is your choice because unless Kelly can treat you with respect then she's making the choice to repel even her family members. If you do want a relationship with her and are able to take all of the brunt of her animosity of the world then you may have to change your whole way of communicating with her, almost presenting yourself as the one needing her just to get your foot in the door to discuss further assistance for her, maybe even asking her to go with you so that you are both getting help but essentially it's just supporting Kelly to get the help she needs. I hope that you take no backlash from Kelly's appearance on the show because from what I see.. the two of you are quite different people. Thanks for coming and sharing with us.

22. "RE: Kelly Graduating " |
I'm glad for Kelly. The one thing I really respected about her from day 1 is that she took ownership of the fact that she was the problem in her family. She never wavered from that. I could tell that this is a woman who loves her husband and her sons. She just didn't know how to show it and she said that. She even said with one exercise how she hurts everybody - friends, family, co-workers etc.Sure Kelly had conflicts in the house, but so did everybody else and not just with her! In some of her conflicts I felt her instincts were right on. No she didn't handle every situation "smoothly", but that in part to me was what she was there to work on. I also always considered who she was there in the SOH with. I don't think Kelly should have faked her relationships in the house. I understood her "I'm here for me" because I could see how the house started revolving around one hg in particular. Heck this board was doing the same thing IMO, so I understood it! I think because Kelly didn't choose to fake her relationships in the house in part was why one hg got her recent breakthrough (IMO that is). Sure she could be petty, but there was a lot of pettyness going around in the SOH too IMO. So yes I do think there was an honesty that Kelly had. She knew what she felt, but she just really didn't know how to express it in an appropriate way. There were times when I felt like Kelly was the person on Rhonda's caseload (for lack of a better word), that was really overlooked. Maybe she did a variety of assignments, but they just didn't choose to show it. Rhonda said that they talked about the tone, but did they talk with Kelly about her "death stare"? I don't know. If they did, they sure didn't show it. I felt like if she didn't get the "tools" she needed, it wasn't for a lack of trying. That I lay at Rhonda's feet. Kelly has a precious family. She has a very generous husband who has by choice stayed with her & two handsome sons who love her. I hope she enjoys her family like never before and that she continues to heal & grow. I liked her and I wish her the best.

I hope she gets a beautiful makeover..tomorrow..( im getting some biopsies done i will miss the show)I hope she finds peace and joy in a moment.. maybe not a week not a hour but a moment.. I pray Kelly writes journals ..not for the world to read but for herself to ease away the painful angry moments.. I also hope she uses her computer skills to research natural healing herbs, aromatherapy, soft soothing music,, candles,, massage , meditation..to control those rage moments... i am bi-polar i got it as a result to cope with 10 years of incest and moving 23 time before i was 16 years old.. i was angry with everyone in my family and i too have an issue with touching and being touched.. I am lighting a candle a pink one in healing and offering peace to Kelly.. i see me in her and her in me... I also must offer a suggestion on Kelly wanting to be an x-ray tech.. it may be too intense for her.. I had a friend who went into that field ..she had visions of a quiet room..the humming of the x-ray machine.. what she got was screaming patients pulled from wrecked cars ...in the ER..maybe if she went into doing Mamograms for women that would be a calmer envirement.. just a hint.. anyone that can work as a waitress for all those years deserves a medal...bless her.. I see sadness in her eyes..beyond the anger,, beyond that pain and sadness and fear..i have seen those same things in my eyes.. i pray we all find peace and calm in our quiet moments.. GOOD LUCK KELLY...its been a long hard road.. i will be wishing you the best.. you can always turn the page and start over ..start a new day.. thats the beauty of the sunrise and the calm of walking in the moonlight they both refresh you..and ease the pain... good luck..peace be with you

LAST EDITED ON 04-19-06 AT 07:28 PM (EST)What a treat to read so many intelligent thoughtful posts about Kelly!!! Thank you. Such a pleasant change from some of the other Kelly threads. (I know, I know, mods, don't talk about the other posters, talk about the houseguests) I too see a big change in Kelly, but I also see that she has a long way to go. Good for her in soaking up all the help she could get in order to get this start. GeeGee, I can empathize with your hopes and wishes that the SO house could have helped Kelly more than they did with the rest of her family. Unfortunately, like someone said upthread, that would have taken a lot longer, more intensive, course of therapy than what they are able to offer. While you are being very gracious in your comments about Kelly, I can hear your disappointment in your posts, especially about the phone call she made to you. It probably would have been better for you to be able to discuss the childhood situation and been able to work out some agreement on it, but she really was just following her coach's instructions to not get into justifying her behavior, but just apologize for her part in it. Maybe once Kelly gets more secure in her immediate family and how she relates and deals with them, she'll be more comfortable in going a little further and digging a little deeper. It sounds like some family counselling would be good for the relationship between the two of you to discuss how you both feel about it. In the meantime, way to go Kelly! I look forward to seeing the makeover tomorrow. Little leery about what crazy Andy might do to her, but I think even just a good styling from a hairdresser will make a big change.

GeeGee45, you have my total sympathy. It must be so hard to have a sister that you cannot have a close, loving relationship with because of her deep seated anger. I felt so sorry for your mom when telling was on the phone telling her how she was never, ever, ever going to be the person her mother wanted her to be, ever. I thought she took that assignment Rhonda gave her as an ok to start telling people off. Kelly and I would last about 5 seconds in a face to face. Bullys really set me off. She may be able to kick someones a$$ just using her mouth (and I have not doubt that is true) but what kind of boastful pride is that. She appears to be the kind of person that is going to strike out first so she doesn't get her feelings hurt - that is if she has any to begin with. It must be hard on you, as her sister, to hear your younger life played out on the soap opera that SO has become. You have my condolenses for that. I thought it was weird when Kelly called you and started right in on ....I forgive you for blah, blah, blah and I have held that against you for blah, blah, blah. I remember thinking, geesh Kelly give her a chance to speak up instead of rambling off 5 sentences and then saying ok, bye bye. I thought either it was extemely stupid editing or Kelly felt she had some big revelation which sounded so fake to me. I hope at some point you two have the chance to come together as sisters and get close. Life is way to short to go through it with the perpetual scowl and crummy attitiue Kelly posseses. Maybe she will have an epiphany and come out of it, doubtful but stranger things have happened.

GeeGee, I admire you for not "giving up" on Kelly and keeping the door open so that if and when Kelly is ready, you two might be able to re-connect as sisters and friends. A lot of people would just say "the he!! with it" and just write that person out of their lives. I also respect the way that, in spite of everything, you have positive things to say about Kelly. It would have been so easy for you to just agree with all of the Kelly bashing and add some of your own but you chose to take the "high road". Kelly is very lucky to have you in her life - whether she realizes it or not.

I for one am glad that Kelly is gone. I think Rhonda did all she knew how to do for her, I feel sorry for her husband and children if she goes back to her old ways. She is lucky to have a good husband who is supportative and the boys who seem to love her a lot. She wears a chip on her shoulder and whenever anyone thinks or feels differently than she does she is ready to fight. So much anger and she is so quick to throw away her own mother and sister. Her mother got sick she didnt just leave Kelly because she wanted too like Kim's mother did so why all the anger? She has no tolerance for anyone she sees as weak and she wont work in a hospital with the public very long with her attitude either. So Good Luck Kelly cause you are going to need it. I think as Kelly's sister you are better off without having a relationship with her because you would spend all your time walking on egg shells just to get along. I dont see Kelly giving once inch to anyone and if she treats her own family this badly just think how she will treat someone she isnt invested too. Who needs that kind of crap? Life is too short.

There was a meanness about Kelly that I just couldn't get past. I felt that she tried to bully Jodi early on, then Kim, then just before she graduated, Jodi again (about the food thing). And when that didn't work, she walked away, only to burst into tears in calls with her husband. I felt that she was jealous of Kim for being softer and less angry on the outside even with her abused past. Kelly reminded me of the school bully who folds the minute they encounter anyone who actually stands up her herself. I did not see compassion from Kelly, and I really, really wanted to see it! I felt like she said the right things when life coaches were around, but when they weren't, reverted back to her usual self. Since the life coaches won't be around in her real life, I have serious doubt that she will maintain on an even keel. I think as with other guests, therapy is needed to reach the root of her problems, not just work on her outward behavior.

According to a Starting Over graduate, the saying for the house is "Started Over, but still f****d up." Sounds like this is the case. Do you think that maybe the producers are not seeing enough viewable footage from someone and that dictates when someone graduates? Lisa1 and Ali-whine were on FOREVER, but they really compelled people, for good or bad, to watch. Maybe Kelly just wasn't as big of a viewer draw, and they didn't have enough time in the season to let her really work into a frenzy with the other houseguests. I don't know why people who clearly did not address their issues graduate. But what I do know is that I just don't watch as much anymore. The show has taken a disappointing turn, and I am less interested. It's too bad Kelly couldn't get the help from SO that she truly needed and, apparently, still needs. Hopefully this experience helps her see that there is still some work left to do. GeeGee, I wish you luck. It is frustrating and sad to have someone not see how poorly they treat their family and how much healing needs to be done. But it has been my experience that distance, emotional and physical, can be a really good thing.

LAST EDITED ON 04-24-06 AT 05:33 AM (EST)I think Kelly single-handedly changed the feeling of the House and put everyone on edge more than any other HG ever did. She was always exploding or on the verge of exploding at SOMEONE. You never knew what would set her off, or for how long, with her days and days of dirty looks, pouting, flouncing and telephonic diatribes to her husband. I try to imagine living with someone like Kelly in MY House - I would leave, and these women can't leave without leaving the show. She is a bully whose aggressiveness was so unappealing I barely cared how she got that way. The sympathy ended when the behavior hurt others, and more than any other HG, Kelly hurt others. And she enjoyed it. "I can Kick your a** with my mouth alone" is a braggart talking, taking pride in her ugly behavior. And it was even more offensive because she directed much of it at Kim, who had already taken enough abuse to last anyone a lifetime. With this kind of toxic presence in the House, the other women's stories became almost sidenotes to the impending trainwreck that Kelly represented. She drove the SO House off the track, into the dirt and then over the cliff, and the show let her. I am glad she's outta there and they finally figured out that this was the most they could do with her outward persona - because there was nothing they could do with her inner mess. They went for dramatic tension by casting Kelly, and in so doing, they threw away the connections and community that made SO worth watching.

Personally, I don't think Kelly's main issue was on touching was about her being able to reach out but more she took on this behavior (anger, spitefulness, vindictiveness, bitterness) to KEEP people away from her and in this learned behavior it affected her own children. Her behavior seems to me like a tool or mechanism she developed to keep the world away from her, if she let's no one in then no one can hurt her type mindset. I don't know that if a person truly feels that way in her core that she will ever change. If she doesn't get therapy to address her ongoing issues then Kelly will always be "Kelly" and will never be able to "Start Over". It's a shame too, her children look well-adjusted but I'm sure they must have some issues growing up with a mom like that. Sad.
