No there are two of us, and possibly more.  They are beyond help.

Tnank goodness you are not a therapist, because the world would be in trouble.  I guess you like to see people do bad, and not get help.  I am so happy to see Dr. phil helping this family.  This is his job.  If you don't want to watch this show, simply turn it off!

I'm pretty tired of seeing them too!

Oh, no, I'm sick of seeing these people, too. What in the world was the point of todays show? It was just like saying, "here we are again, same sh*t different episode on Dr. Phil.." and why is he having them return when there hasn't been anything to update, no improvement to really speak of except they don't say the "f" word as much (whoopie???) and that the wife only shops twice a week... UGH who cares!!!!!! Its exactly like a re-run, BORING! I miss the old episodes of Dr. Phil when he had "real" people with "real" everyday issues, people who wanted to change. The good old days!

I only hope that no one is ever tired if I need help.  I deal with self mutilation on a daily basis, it is a cry for help.  If this couple ever intends to fix some of their problems they must first deal with their children. 

I believe the children are attempting to sabotage any healing in the relationship.  It is to their benefit to keep mom shopping & cutting & dad angry.  They use their parents to justify doing nothing for themselves.  All of the family members need help individually before they can work together. 

This is my opinion, but I have dealt with children who want to run my life because I am mommy, their mommy only.
