One Life To Live - MESSAGE BOARDS

Not even sure I'll watch this show anymore after this, but I pray there is some huge nasty mean payback.

They should be jailed. I hope Mathew means it when he said "I hat both of you". I know I do in spades.

GRRRRRRRR I AM SO MAD

Yeah, BiRanger, you are right! This was extremely sorry of Nora and Bo to have Shanghied Matthew like that! Nora has already been exposed as an irrational boob (witness the way she treated Cole after the accident) but I was totally surprised that Bo would participate in such a horrid plan against his son! And I would be willing to bet that Matthew very much so meant it when he told them that he hated them. Hell, I was hating them, too, at that moment! Unbelievable! Nora and Bo have taken Matthew's trust in them and smashed it all over the deck of that private jet! But, I think Bo is having a change of heart and has already realized just how disgusting Nora's and his actions were (was this all Nora's idea? probably).... Even if Bo is regretting what they did, and even if he manages to override Nora and put things to rights, it is going to be a long time before Matthew trusts them again!

I totally agree. To ship him off to a boarding school like some prisoner? And the way Nora was like, "Don't you swear at me young man!". If anything Matthew should have done a lot more than just swear at her. They are ruining his life for their own selfish reasons. If I was Matthew, I'd be all too eager to get ahold of Clint and let him know right away how cozy his wife and brother are getting.

You know I use to defend Nora to no end. I guess TPTB wanted to see how long Nora could hold the hearts of most of her fans. Nora's actions no matter how desperate have really reached the limit with this fan.

Matthew did a brave thing and that alone should have shown Bo and Nora how much he wants to walk again.

IMO a parent should always try to exhibit trust and honesty with their children. Even if its not what your children want you must be honest. Matthew is not 10 years old! He is a young adult who went through the proper channels to seek assistance. This is what Nora and Bo taught him to do.

Greg was honest about the procedure and Matthew's chances!
Matthew was honest about how much he wanted the surgery.

Bo and Nora's behavior (out-right lying about their kiss and now this stunt) only helps Matthew rationalize potential bad behavior. Why tell either of them his true intentions ever again? Nora and Bo might just pull another stunt like this if the truth is shared.

What was Nora thinking? Lying is what cost her Bo many years ago! This is why I can't believe Bo went along with this LIE.

I'm certain that this is why neither Bo or Nora told Rachel, Clint or Matthew.

Matthew always said he admired Nora and Bo's commitment to the law and use of good moral judgment but now all bets are off. Matthew simply can't trust either one of them at this juncture.

If you can't trust your parents...well you know the rest!

To each is own but both Bo and Nora should be ashamed!

The writers have really blown it this time...they have taken Bo and Nora totally out of character...stealing Matthew away to a european boarding school...this is not how these characters would act....what are the writers thinking...

Yeah God forbid they showing parents being parents!!

I can't imagine doing something like this to one of my sons. How can loving, caring parents totally disregard their son's wishes the way Nora and Bo have? Yes, there are risks (as there are in ANY type of surgery). But, to blatantly deny Matthew's chance to walk again is just plain wrong in my book. Matthew is not a small child who does not know his own mind, He is a very bright teenager who has weighed the options of what could happen if he has the surgery. Bo and Nora are being totally selfish and don't give a darn about how their son feels. Shame, shame on them for what they are doing!!

Did Nora really use the trust word with Mathew! I really couldn't believ she went there today after he "trusted" them and look where that got him. I do hope that in the end he will walk and forgivwe his parents.

I am upset at the way Bo and Nora went about this. I figure it was parents being parents, but I always thought they were about the justice system and right and wrong. Matthew went to court and the judge ruled that he was capable of making this decision himself, despite what his parents think. Aren't Bo and Nora thumbing their nose at the very justice they claim to represent by kidnapping their son? You have to admit there is some irony there. I feel so bad for Matthew because he is in no position to help himself. They took him away from his family and his friend Destiny. If I were Bo and Nora I would watch my back, because Matthew has already proved he can handle himself in court. His next move would be to divorce his parents. Now there would be some JUSTICE.

I have to wonder when reading these posts how old some of you are. or if you have children. But anyway heres my 2 cents: I love how the judge deemed him fit. Whose gonna pay for the surgery? I can tell you I'd go to jail before I paid for it! I'd tell the judge since he felt he had a right to make decisions for them he could pay for it himself and add when / if the procedure fails Matt can go live with him and he can pay for his upkeep(or funeral expenses)! This whole s/l is utterly riddiculous! No judge would have granted Matthews request! He's not emmancipated and it's not like he has a terminal disease and they are refusing treatment. This is an optional procedure that could leave him dead or worse of then when he started! Give me a flippin break!! God forbid parets act like parents and protect their children!!

I think they are being so selfish and it's making me sick. I understand being a partent and not wanting to lose your child, but Matthew did his homework. He went about things fairly and legally -- and his parents should know the law better than anyone!

Maybe it's because I've had my share of surgeries, but there is always a risk but sometimes it's way worth it to have a better quality of life. I think they are selfish because they have gotten used to Matthew in a wheelchair and think he should just get used to it and get over it, too.

But he's set on this -- his life was so active in sports, this holds him back soooo much than it would even someone like myself. He'll do it in three years at 18, anyway. So they are just holing back, making it harder to be effective later on, and making him hate them. They are causing war and only thinking of themselves and what they have to lose, not what he lost...
