Replies to '09/18 The Dr. Phil House: A Family’s Last Chance, Part 1'

They were hunting knives in their leather sheeths!!  Please tell me you're joking! As if that justifies it or makes it O.K !?! Now I know you need Dr. Phil. Todd, I give you credit for truly wanting to work on your marriage and taking the initiative to call Dr. Phil, but COME ON!

 

Dr. Phil probably has told or will tell you this very soon, but STOP EXCUSING AND START OWNING!

Why in the world did you make the comment "Hope you enjoy it"?  It is always hard to tell what someone is really implying when you are reading words on a screen.  But I can't think of any time that would be an appropriate comment in your situation.  Your life is full of pain and chaos, now for the whole world to see and you say..."Hope you enjoy it"?  My hope for you is that you get more serious now that you ever have been in your life so you can make a difference in the life of your children and your self.  By the way, I am not "enjoying" it so far.  I am scared  for your children!!!

I was ENRAGED when I heard the fight between she and Justin.  That just made me want to drive over and choke her!

 

I'm sure the knife throwing was something embellished by the Mary Kay queen.  I hope she knows how stupid she looked being so excited in the car, then enraged over you calling.  That's another thing, didn't she used to call you every 10 minutes when you left the house, but YOU'RE the stalker?  What gives?  Time to break out the old cell phone bills!

I was very concerned while watching the show, that Dr. Phil would decide not to work with you and your wife.  He expressed his concern for your children and I believe he will do his best to help you and your wife work through your difficulties.  Whether or not you decide to stay together, following Dr. Phil's intervention, he will help you two learn to communicate more effectively with each other and help you learn to focus on the needs of your children.  He will emphasize the importance of being a better example for your children and providing the necessary environment to help them become strong adults with a postive sense of self.  Best wishes to you all.
