prior guests who get slammed....
Quote From: jldkmd86I just wanted to say that I was on Dr. Phil's "stalking the stars" show and got a ton of negative feedback on here myself. Don't pay any attention to it. You did what you had to get the help that you KNEW you needed and that's all that matters. The people on this message board that only have negative things to say need to get a life and realize that they can't possibly know anything about the whole situation because they are only seeing a 60 minute show. So good luck with everything and I hope that Dr. Phil's advice will help you!
Jenni I watched today's show,and really felt for that young mom trying to raise her disabled child. I am an RN and have worked in the past with disabled children with various diagnosis, such as Autism and some genetic disorders. People who haven't had any contact with these children really have absolutely no idea how incredibly difficult it is to care for them. As a nurse, it was my job to just administer medication and do an assesment- which was nearly impossible at times- then I get to go home! So, I don't really know either. This mom was on the show reaching out for help. She knows that she needs it, and she wasn't making excuses for her wrongful treatment of her daughter. Those cruel words and actions were done out of sheer frustration. I suspected that the viewers would really slam her on these boards, because they just don't know. I am not saying that it's ok to insult and spank this child, of course it's not! But please understand that until you walk in the shoes of a parent of a disabled child, you cannot know the range of emotions they must feel every single day. Please know that not everyone judges you on what is seen on the surface. Reach out and get some help and support from local agencies. Good luck! Karen RN
