As a reminder, all we know about the adoptive mom was what we got from Rhonda, who had an adgenda, Cassie, who had an adgenda and the ex-wife of the adoptive father (who was sleeping with him while he was still married to the a-mom)who, I would say, had a big adgenda. The way I look at it SO said alot about a woman who did not sign a paper to have her entire life examined and questioned by a bunch of voyers (us). Cassie was a drunken drug addict who traded favors for a place to sleep and drugs, basically a prostitute. She lied many times on the show and I couldn't stand her....still don't care to see her bobbin head back on the show....YUK! She didn't learn a thing....and yet the show with all of its integrity graduated her....YUK. When she is on I will not watch...this young adult is better off without her. She said she needed him to make her life complete...yuk, absolutely not his job. Oh goodness, I got started again...
