If this is really her, it pisses me off that it took her to say it. I'm guessing it's still some big secret because Ellie knows she fucked up and dropped the ball getting proper help early on and won't admit that her precious Calvin needs any sort of extra help and that she's the reason it's not fixed yet. Ellie and Jared could have avoided this whole issue by just being open and honest about their decisions, people would have been a whole lot more supportive if they weren't so secretive. They could have said "yes, he has torticollis and we are trying the chiropractor to correct it"...."Calvin needs a bit more attention than the chiro can give, we'll be taking him to the physical therapist. We're doing everything we can to help his neck but don't feel comfortable showing the appointments right now". Like why is that so hard. That would shut everyone up and give people some peace of mind that they aren't neglecting this poor child's crooked neck. The secrecy drives me nuts and they dug themselves into this hole so I don't feel one but bad for them about them feeling they can't be open and share health aspects of their lives. I suspect besides their band of loyal minions and the occasional mom who stumbles across them and only watches a handful of videos, they are losing tons of subs and views because they are not open, honest, or real. If definitely shows in their numbers, especially when looking at how Ruby and Bonnie are growing (Both of whom are praised in their comment section for showing hard times/real life).

I know you and I often differ on our opinions of things involving the Griffiths, but this I 100% agree with.
There was no need for the secrecy for so long. Once they knew he needed extra help, they could have made a comment about it in passing. Even those of us that are hard on them wouldn't have faulted them for making a mistake IF they took ownership of it (and seemed to be taking it seriously). Now it just makes no sense. I can't imagine it actually being Tamara that commented, because that seems very out of character for her. At the same time, it doesn't sound defensive, so I guess it's possible? Why keep it a secret all this time then? She did a Calvin update and that would have been the perfect spot to just mention it in passing. We don't need to see the appointments or therapy itself, but maybe it just no longer swept under the rug or treated like a "dirty little secret?" Not revealing he's in therapy (if he is) was deliberate. My guess is that if this is the real Tamara, that's she's going to be in trouble for putting the information out there.
Do we think Jared's mom and dad are now working for E&J like Mimi and Jeff do for DB?
