"Real Talk:" straight from the source...
Real talk coming now from Penny-Lee Oshiro's son. This is a great inspiring Intervention episode for a family's struggle with addiction in hopes of walking to a brighter future together. Disclaimer: If you don't want
me to ruin the episode ending, please move on and read this update later. Thank you.

Penny-lee is from Hawai'i (Oahu). She has four children, a husband (my step father: Craig Oshiro), and was an alcoholic. Penny's first husband chose to live another lifestyle, and their sons chose/was-told to live with their biological father at a teenage age. This is a good reason that enhanced & enraged the alcoholic in Penny.

My mother has showed me, our family & friends, and the world that anyone can fight the disease of addicition called alcoholism. I personally was leading down a very similar path to my mom's alcoholism, and I'm glad that I was able to walk to the light of sobriety myself, thank you Mom!

I personally researched my family...

love this show
Its a shame they cancelled this show. I'd love them to make a "where are they now" follow up of all the people they have intervented in the past 10 years.

Miss 'Tisha is just some mess!!!!!
LaTisha kinda reminds me of a non-drug-taking aunt I have. I actually think many African-American viewers will feel like they have a LaTisha in their extended families. Still, she was a mess! I usually empathize with the subjects on this program, but she pushed my buttons terribly.

LaTisha says something to the effect of, "Tisha loves Tisha!" She has a very high esteem, regardless of drugs or prostitution. Good for her, but the other stuff is a problem. Not only did LaTisha say she has a favorite of her 3 children, but she said all parents have favorites. She implies that she wished she never had her youngest daughter, but Miss 'Tisha, your daughter didn't ask to be born! That's your fault she's here! When I think about her daughter's knowing her mother said with delight that she was unwanted, that will haunt her for the rest of her life. Luckily, LaTisha's youngest daughter was excelling despite her mother, and most definitely not because of it.
