Season 6 Episode 2 Francis Bianchi “Loving Mother or Evil Step Mom”

This episode we are going back to Ken’s early years and we’ll see some of the reasons he turned out the way he did.
Frances Bianchi and Tony became good friends so you will hear a lot of conversation from her during this season. 
As we get into the story we’ll see that it was a really complicated relationship between mother and son. 

• A true Oedipus complex.
• Tony and Al think that this, along with his other childhood issues  really messed little Kenny up during his early years. 
• Kenny’s birth mother was a 17 year old alcoholic sex worker. 
• For the first 3 months baby Kenny was passed around, he was never held, taken care of or even loved a little bit. 
• This is called Abandoned Baby Syndrome which is a terrible source of stress for infants. This along with the way Kenny was treated over the first 3 years of his life will carry over into adulthood and can’t be reversed.

When they adopted Kenny at the age of 3 months Frances thought her prayers had been answered and she was overjoyed that she now had a son.

However over the early years when the problems started mounting up, Frances was torn between being the overbearing doting mother and a strict disciplinarian.
