Program Transcript
MISS PARKER: I can’t believe you did this.
MRS. PARKER: Shut up! You had it coming.
MISS PARKER: Got what coming?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Please, Ms. Parker. I was telling your mother here that I
was referred by the social worker in her day program.
MISS PARKER: What did you say? What lies did you tell?
MRS. PARKER: Not lies, the truth. You’re always yelling at me and throwing out
my stuff.
MISS PARKER: Like you can tell! All this mess! You’re choking me with it! I am
not the one with the problem. She is. Just look!
MRS. PARKER: That’s right. Go to your room and sulk baby girl and leave my
cats alone.
FEMALE SPEAKER: How many cats do you have, Mrs. Parker?
MRS. PARKER: Six. One big family.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Can you explain what’s happening here? I can see that
you’re very angry with your daughter. Her name’s Stephanie, right?
MRS. PARKER: Yes. Princess Stephanie. You want to help me? Tell the
princess to stop throwing out my stuff.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well that’s not something I am able to do. I think the best
course is for me to assign an intensive case manager to help work with you on
your home situation.
MRS. PARKER: What do you mean?
FEMALE SPEAKER: You’ll work together, set up goals for your relationship with
Stephanie, how to deal with the two of you living here. Mrs. Parker?
MRS. PARKER: Maybe. All this fighting has to stop.
FEMALE SPEAKER: I want to go talk to Stephanie, Mrs. Parker. But first, I want
to ask you some general questions. May I?

MRS. PARKER: OK.
FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. How long have you and Stephanie lived in this
apartment?
[KNOCKING]
Hello, Miss. Parker?
MISS PARKER: Come on in out of that garbage dump. I knew you’d want to talk.
It’s quite a difference, isn’t it? It’s the only place I can feel like I can breathe
around here.
FEMALE SPEAKER: May I sit down? I understand that you’re very angry with
your mother. I heard you say earlier that you want your home to be clean.
MISS PARKER: Wouldn’t you? You saw it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: How long has it been like this?
MISS PARKER: Since my dad died about three years ago. It’s gotten worse
lately. Every time I try to clean anywhere outside of this room, throw something
away, she freaks out. I have to keep this in here. The last time I tried cleaning up,
she chased me with it, swinging it like some crazy woman. I don’t know how
much more of this I can take. I just want to hit her with it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: I understand that this is very difficult for you because your
mother gets so angry when you try to clean house. That’s why I’m making a
referral for an intensive case manager. I’ve already spoken with your mother
about this.
MISS PARKER: Do you really think that you and your case manager are going to
make a difference? My mother is getting dementia and the princess is bipolar.
She and I, we’re like gasoline and fire. You really think you can fix that?
