08/15 'Get Off My Back!'

Quote From: emmasmamma

I just wanted to send a message to Mike and Deanna.  I think that it is a testament to your character and love for eachother that you both decided to try and save your marriage instead of doing the easy thing that most do these days and give up.  Mike, I think you have done a wonderful job trying to change some of the things that you were so mercilessly criticized for on previous message boards.  Deanna, I feel such pride at being a woman when I see a woman such as yourself who is so strong that she is willing to fight for her marriage and her own happiness also.  I think your son is a very lucky young man to have such great parents.  Keep up the good work guys.  You deserve all the happiness in the world.  Lots of luck.

I just wanted to echo the above message.  What a wonderful thing to do to be able to look at yourself and actually make changes where changes are needed.  To admit that things need to be changed and follow through.  What pride Mike and Deanna must feel for themselves at making these steps in their marriage.  I didn't read any of the previous negative messages as this is the first time seeing this episode, but we as "observers" really can't make judgements on other people's lives and relationships as we don't live them.  I had a similar occurance when a friend stepped in making assumptions about my relationship with my husband and getting involved in with things that just weren't true and now our friendship has suffered the reprocussions.  This makes me sad, but I think that it was unavoidable.  This just shows what can happen when we as observers try to judge....we just can't do that.  I applaud Mike and Deanna for their incredible achievements.

Dr. Phil, 

  

I would like to know if Tia has changed her way of thinking about her children being perfect. 

You  made her think about how she was parenting. I have seen children have nervious breakdowns 

when parents have had high expectations. 

  

Dr. Phil we did it your way with our two boys (37 & 40) thay couldn't have turned out better. 

  

I would have liked to have had 1/3 the caring and being there for their children that Scott and Tia have.  Just back off and look for the good things.  

  

I was wondering if Tia was that strict with her students?
