i just wanted to say that i really loved this eppisod of ur show. i no how they feel since my parents got a divorce about two years ago and me and my sis r just teens. i can really relate to nick seeing how i try to be the strong one of the family even though i am the youngest and i no that my sis can relate to bj. she has had a drinkin problem ever since the divorce. she and my dad don't get along and she also thinks he favors me so she picks fights with me sometimes for no reason at all. i just wanted to tell the Carters thanx for sharing their story it really helped me, nick said everyone is dealt a card or something like that and that u have to learn how to deal with it. something that also makes my life hard is my family thinks that my dad may be coming down with alsheimers, he forgot when the exact date of my birthday a couple of years ago. well when the carters come on ur show when the house of carters show is over could u please tell them that they have changed at least one life with their show and then talking about their relationships on the show. thanx and god bless

Whatever the reason it happened, Aaron Carter is a spoiled brat. It was disheartening to hear girls in the audience screaming for him. That's what they wish for themselves? Sad.

Alright, who the heck is Dr. Keith and who the heck are these Carter people? 8-) Clueless in San Diego!
What kind of crap has the last 2 days been for me? My car breaks down in LA on the beginning of my 14 hr. journey up North. Then I get stuck spending Thanksgiving watching some Dr. Show on TV that has me in tears. SWEET! Lovin this Thanksgiving! Biggest shocker yet, I'm actually on-line typing a comment. UNBELIEVABLE!
Truth be known, nothing on TV has EVER drawn me in enough to make me consider commenting... However, these Carter kids seemed AWESOME! The first reality show gone good!
Going public with their harsh most beautiful yet most ugly characteristics and laying it out there for everyone to view. Not an easy thing and my heart goes out to them. Something REALLY REAL is what the general public needs and the sincerity of the Carter tribe is truly obvious. AWESOME JOB YOU GUYS! I will for sure be watching…

I just wanted to say that I think Nick is totally justified in struggling with forgiving his mother. My mom was, (and probably still is) addicted to drugs. She has done SOOO many terrible things throughout my childhood. And even though I'm 18 now, I still cant forgive her. I havent let go of my anger, and I'm not going to rush or force the process. If Nick is still upset with his mom, he is entitled to that feeling. Forgiveness has to come in its own time. I know that having hatred and anger eats away at you, but sometimes you have to let it take its own course. Nick should forgive his mom when he's ready...and only then. And the whole family is incredibly courageous and strong and I hope the best for them all.

Hi my name is ashley and i just wanna say i really enjoyed this episode. i think thats its really sweet that nick is trying to bring his family closer. And i hope that everything goes well with that, since i was like 10 i have always been a fan of aaron carter. he seems like he would be such a great guy, and i would love to meet him, even though that will probably never happen but its weird to say wow i have feelings for someone who i never even met, and its not because he is famous... I really think his sisters are amazing they are so beautiful and i feel for all of them, and i wish the best, i really liked the show. i just wanted to say that. thankz Ash :)

I loved this episode. It was so awesome to see them on the show. I've been a fan of Nick for a long time and he is a true inspiration to me. All the things he feels about his mother are the same way I feel about my own. He is such a pillar of strength. It really too bad he has to go through all that drama with Paris. He is an amazing guy and a very big reason I get through each day.

i think nick should forgive his mom with expecting any kind of apology fromher.only then will he find peace with her.he should stop dwelling on past stuff like wat she did to him and aaron.aaron is a teen just like i am amd so i can empathize with him the most.just like me he only wants someone to love him for the person he is which is just aaron and not bcoz he's also AC.and why not?all of us teens dream about it.and i think he should finish school too. education is sooo damm important.he should get that clear.he's had an amazing career and made a lot of money (even though his mom sponged him a bit!).so why cant he now concentrate on getting his education over with now?as foe the one true love u'll get her aaron.just be patient and give it time. ur only 18.by da way happy b'day to you in advance!!!!!!!

Dr. Ablow:
I was at a conference earlier this week and just happen to catch your show on the House of Carters when I returned to my hotel room. I was glad to see that you treated the Carter siblings with respect and sincerity. I was dreading the reality show because I didn't want to see Nick and the others made fun of or embarass themselves for the sake of TV. I didn't want them to become a joke. Your show certainly legitimized their struggle. Thanks for showing us the serious side of Nick and the other Carters.

RE JOHN MARK KARR:
YOU CAN EASILY FIND HIS RESUNE ONLINE. IT IS NOT ALL REAL, BUT DOES TELL ALL THE PLACES HE TAUGHT FROM 2001 TO 2005, ONE SOURCE IS SITE FOR WSBTV.COM ATLANTA. IT'S VERY INTERESTING

I've not spoken to one of my sisters for years. She's my only full blood sister, and we are like strangers. Living in different countries certainly doesn't help. Being very different from each other doesn't help also. Probably sharing the same father that cheated on our Mother, that lead to divorce, probably doesn't help too. We both have children, whom I hope will meet one day. I hope to become close with her again one day also as I love her dearly.

Not sure how bringing your family back on a show, when it was so called fame that tore them apart, will work....but good luck to them. Atleast they'll get paid for doing it; so if it doesn't work out, they'll line their pockets a little more.
Nick seems like he needs to watch his temper....especially physically.
