Quote From: lyonmildDoes he have the flattest affect you have ever seen. I wish I had skin like his. Not a wrinkle in it, not even the finest line.........this is totally from lack of emotion, for many many years. He is FLAT.
He would actually be the poster boy for a BOTOX ad. I can't believe that this flat affect has never been noticed by others and he doesn't have other problems. I have worked in mental health for more than 20 years and when you see this kind of personality it is so textbook. He just sits there like a dead fish. He has no conscience I believe also.
This is the best I have seen Dr. Phil act, speak and talk to guests EVER and I have been watching since he came on TV with Oprah during her trial in Texas. He should be more honest and direct with all of the guests.....I feel he usually lets the guy off way too easy and doesn't force him to address his lies.
Well I hope she can finally put herself first and stop thinking about HIM and take care of herself and the kids. Best wishes to his wife.
The other woman is a dirty, disgusting immoral, female who should also be kicked out and left on her own by her husband. She needs to learn that there is certain behaviors not acceptable when you are married and a mother. She makes me sick when she says "How do I do that?" What a copout, miss martyr. Sickening. Women out there be sure to teach your daughters that there are LOTS of women out there who will do this. Don't let them have to learn on their own. And teach them about addicted men also.
I totally agree with you about being the best of Dr. Phil. I feel he put some tough questions out there for the guests to answer and then told Brad he was immature, no impulse control and a liar. Usually DrP doesn't comment like that but it was very informative to understand what the exact problems are. I think he should state those kinds of 'diagnosis' more often about his guests to help us understand. I really liked this format, except for the mystery guests who won't show their faces. I don't know who they are fooling. Anyone who knows them won't be fooled by hiding and it won't matter if the rest of us knows who they are.
I thought all the guests had their emotions so under control that it is difficult to tell if they are even bothered by anything the other said. I watched Brad's eyes very carefully and he flinched a few times when his mistress spoke. It seemed that no one was really telling what they really thought but were trying to be politically correct in front of each other but would say something different if the other person weren't there. In fact, Brad said he was doing that in therapy so he wouldn't hurt his wife. I can't imagine he would care if he hurt her or not cause if he cared he wouldn't be putting her thru this. Maybe they have been dealing with this for so long that their emotions have already been spent and there is nothing left.
The best thing either of those women could do is dump him. Until he gets some help and proves he can be trusted his wife needs to let him go. Work on the marriage without living together. Maybe she will gain some self respect and courage without him there tearing her down.
