I thought this was going to be a rerun. But it's a NEW show? I'd like to hear from them in 6 months or a year to see if they've gone through with the therapy. I'm just embarrassed for them to be on revealing more problems.

I am not only tired, but even though I see pitiful families on shows, this one is the ab-so-lute WORSE!  THEY ARE NOT ONLY SICKENING, BUT I KID YOU NOT,  I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO THROW UP! Especially when I see the Mother!  When I think of all the tragedy that is going on in this world, and this woman has spent YEARS sitting on her A--, feeling sorry for herself!  It is disgusting, I do feel a little sorry for the kids, with her bringing them up, and the Father so busy all the time.  This woman has deliberately exposed her kids to the self-cutting and pretends it is a secret.  Pleeze!  The kids know and she knows they know, and doesn't stop even when she knew her son had taken it up too because he is so miserable!  I wish someone had called the Social Services on her.  She has money so why didn't she go to a psychiatrist or therapist?  Or a divorce court.  I'd work all the time too, if I was her husband not to pay her bills but so I wouldn't have to go home.  Doctors need peace of mind, they have people's life in their hands.  If that man has to deal with problematic kids (God help them poor things) and a totally selfish self involved nagging wife someone may have died at his hands that wouldn't have if he had his rest and a clear mind.  The husband is salvageable and the kids too.  But that woman is beyond help.  She is always blaming everyone BUT herself, they would all be better off without her.  My advice is for her family to RUN-RUN-RUN!  I love Dr. Phil and Robin for being so caring, but Dr. Phil this is the very type you wanted to get away from in your practice.  Please don't give us ANOTHER MINUTE giving this woman your time, that is all she wants is for someone to feel sorry for her.  AND please spare us, she not only is sickening but she looks like something someone vomited up.  Ugh!   This is the first time someone looks as bad as they are.  I am usually sympathetic because I lost 3 kids in traumatic ways, and a husband at 37 and jobs, and more.  You just pull it together, a step at a time and keep on keeping on.  When I get to feeling sorry for myself, I think of all the other people in the world without food, clothing, a roof over their heads, or in pain EVERY DAY,  or dying of some dread disease, even little children and ask myself would I like to exchange my life with the bad stuff I had with theirs and I know I wouldn't.  God gave me something to deal with and His help to deal with it.  I have felt sorry for cutters, druggies, cheaters, thieves, and a lot of others because I know some thing caused them to do a lot they do.  You have tried Dr. Phil to help this woman P-P-P-L-L-EEESE MOVE ON!    I am relieved I am not the only one who sees through this PERSON.
