Braxton Family Values

Wow this edition with Iyanla was eye opening for me. This one episode with the family with Iyanla told me more about the family then any of the other Braxton Family Values episodes that I ever watch. It was just like Iyanla said, the issues start with the head and the head is the mother Evelyn and the father Mike. Miss Evenlyn was the most surprising because this was a woman whom I admire for moving on after her divorce and raising her children, but Miss Evenlyn has not moved on. After all these years, I saw this woman as very bitter, she talked back to Iyanla, she took no responsibility for anything and she choose to live in that life of shame and hiding, where what happens behind our does stays behind our door and we dont speak on it at all to the people on the outside. Miss Evenlyn was very rude and kept refusing to hear Iyalna out, now I know where that beat Tamar gets her behavior from, oh yes it is Miss Queen E herself head of the Empire Miss Evenlyn. After Miss Evenlyn take toward Iyalna I could see why this family remain quiet and closed mouth on a lot of things. Miss Evenlyn is one of those who say she forgave her ex but she definitely has not forgotten and she takes this ugliness with her on a daily basis. This in my opinion is why Miss E has never remarried and went on with her life, maybe then she could have really helped her children through their issues with their marriages, wow. I actually see more of a chance with Mr. Braxton helping his children because he is really open to listening and giving what Iyalna says a chance, so he can help his children. I would rather talk with Mr. Braxton then Miss E. because of his openness and quiet truthfully Miss E scares me the way she snaps and her rudeness at her age astonished me. I have personally not seen a older person act this way, well except for those ones stuck in their ways and just absolutely refuses to change anything based on old traditions, old habits and fear of what may happen. Miss Evenlyn is fearful but will not admit it, she does not know how to change and therefore she refuses to change, that is why she can not move on. These daughters of Evelyn have watched there mother doing this for years, accepted it as their truth, now they are marked because of their mothers behavior. Evelyn has made these girl into women that have all learnt behavior. Mr. Braxton had his share in it too dont get me wrong, but Miss Evenlyn was around these girls all the time and Mr. Braxton was not, Miss E may have showed these girls behavior unwitting for young women. Yes Miss E took them to church told them about the word, but did she instill in them those real meaning of the word in the bible, did she tell them why it was important to know that word than to have a quick snap back at people. What I saw of Miss E last night she was not showing Christian behavior or attitude toward Iyalna. Then here comes Tamar being the queen of the palace or so she think so, showing up two and a half hours late the next day, and having her people to say she would be an hour late. Like I will have my people call your people and show up when I'm ready, yep the God complex, I have become a goddess so therefore I'm better then you, so watch me walk on water. Girl please sit down Tamar, we all know you got issues, bigger then you will admit because Miss E has taught you to not talk about it, or be about it, but lie about it and now your lies continue to follow your footsteps. When you cant be honest with yourself then you can't be honest with God, the head of my household and I hope most people. But I see Tamar being one of those who gets on the Hollywood scene and become a Sciencetologist, just too say she can be that goddess she believes she is. Anyway next week this episode continues I'm hoping that things get better but Miss Evenlyn has got to change, I dont care she is old, that is no excuse for being rude and keeping old ways. This family needs to put everything on the table including Tamar's selfish ways and hidden secrets. Did Tamar not talk about her sexual abuse because of Miss Evenlyn harsh old ways and attitude towards things??? Is this why Tamar first married at 22, the one she does not talk about??? Many unanswered questions in this family.
