Parker Family Episode 2 Program Transcript

PARKER: Ever since my husband died, there's been no one to talk to. It's just, really, no one. And when Stephanie is home, I just feel so alone.

FEMALE SPEAKER: What about the day center you go to? Isn't that helping?

PARKER: I don't like it. What makes me really feel good, though, is when I go shopping, buying things. And my kittens. I love my cats. Oh, have you seen them? I have pictures. Just take a look. Look! These are so cute. My babies.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Yes, they're very cute. And wow, you have a lot of them.

PARKER: Oh, well, it's their home, too, not just Princess Stephanie's.

FEMALE SPEAKER: The day program you're attending, are you seeing a psychiatrist there?

PARKER: Yes. Dr. Lewin.

FEMALE SPEAKER: May I ask how that's going?

PARKER: He says that I'm depressed.

FEMALE SPEAKER: In the pictures you showed me, you just talked about the cats, but I also saw all the things you keep around you, the hoarding. I understand how depressed you been since your husband passed away. How alone you've felt.

[SIGH] But I would like us to try and set up a plan to begin to address the hoarding. It's very clear that that's one of the big issues that's affecting your relationship with Stephanie and your life together. Can we try that?

PARKER: I don't like it when we fight. She's still my baby, too. Yes, I want to try.
