I have never really liked Deborah in the previous seasons, but the more and more that she is pictured next to Farrah, the more that I do like her. I'm sure Deb has some mental problems (maybe even severe even) but she's starting to seem like a mostly decent person. The conversations that Farrah always has with her....she really does treat her mother like total sh*t. I mean even if Deborah says stupid or silly things sometimes she really is appearing to try to help Farrah with various tasks (whether or not it's just for the sake of the cameras I don't know, but she is trying to help her) and Farrah is just tearing her down.
My own mother had a lot of severe mental issues growing up that caused her to be not very nice at all during a lot of times (now we have a great relationship though), and she had no right to treat me the way that she did sometimes but even though I hated her at times, I always treated her with respect because she is my biological mother even if she doesn't act like one, even if she's terribly mean for no reason, whatever the cause. I ALWAYS treated her with respect because I was her daughter (and at the time this was a woman who would snap in an instant, would throw stuff at my head, etc.). There is zero respect with Farrah, she treats her mother like dirt 24/7 and doesn't even care enough to hide it for the cameras. She could at least try to be polite to her when they have to see each other for filming, it is not like she has to live with her or anything.
