Quote From: tangomangoDr. Phil....I wish that my brother could have been on the show today! He is such a big moocher. He is 34, divorced, on drugs and still living at home. My family would never want to come on the show although I have often thought about calling in myself. I just get so upset with him sometimes because he takes all of my parents money and he doesn't hold a job. Everything you said today is so true about love is letting them move to the next stage in life. And my parents think they are loving him, but they are only hurting him!!!

I know exactly how you feel..... there is no way my family would want to "air" their dirty laundry on national tv...... And I have wanted to confront this issue, and have thought that Dr. Phil would be the best way. My grandmother has lost so much financially and physically by taking care of my brother. She complains, yet everytime his troubles come around (like being in jail) she runs to his rescue!! She knows he spends his money on drugs and alcohol, and with her footing the bill, he works just enough to have PARTY cash! What's even worse, is i tuly believe he feels he isn't doing anything wrong! It truly is sad!
