Quote From: ljrupert2Dr Phil I have worked with all types of people especially people 65 and older as a nurse and finally for once I agree with you.
Never really liked your attitude and the whole tough love act
But you defined normal perfectly
It really applies to many areas of ones life
I would only change the part about it disrupting the lives of others around you
For example this show daughter is disrupting her own life by making an issue out of her father 's wanting to become a country singer
So disrupting the lives of those around you is truly relative( no pun intended) to the scope at which the others perceptions, boundries, perimeter reaches into the vast definition of normal for them.
In other words others in your life that are disrupted by your behavior have a choice not to be involved in that behavior or act accordingly to what would make them feel better and if it what makes them feel better does not match what would make the you feel better they ought to stay out of it.
Anyway like I said I never really like your shows even when on Oprah but I happened to just turn on the TV while you were definining what is normal. And since I rarely agree with you -Your definition stuck out so I thought I would post. I probably will never post again.
I noticed the most popular subject in the responses to your show was about the dog attack which is understandable...but it is just as important to respond or give a post about Forrest's need to get his music out so the world can hear it. The daughter should back off and let him do his thing. I agree with you that she should mind her own business and quit disrupting his life. He might have succeeded a lot sooner if she hadn't been so persistant in trying to stop him.
