 Quote From: sedusa88 Hi, How have you been since the show? As I said at the show, I have high self esteem, I am not weak, etc. I am a strong woman, thats why Im able to take care of my babies as a single mother, etc. I love my husband with all of my heart. Just because he sits in a prison cell doesnt make him worthless or not worth caring for. He teaches my kids a lot of things. My children are allowed to see what happens when we make one mistake, they are also taught about God from my husband. He has the time to research the Bible and explain it to them better than I could. I know our situations are different. I dont sit by the phone waiting for calls, I dont send money all the time and take away from my own life and my daughter's. I am a Mom first! i see my husband when my kid's schedules allow for it. He is not using me in the least. We have a bond and have known each other for years, he asks for nothing but my love. I know men in prison know how to run drag on women to get what they want, Ive had many homeboys locked up that do that. My husband is not one of them. Im very street smart and can tell the difference. I know no one will understand my story because they dont know me or him personally. The people that know us see the love and beauty in all of it. I would NEVER allow for my daughters to be put in harms way. He loves them and shows them more love than their own Father. i hope people can just sit back and see my side and not jump to conclusions. I know people also think I am setting a horrible example for my children, but thats not the case. My children are happy, honor roll smart, involved in extra curricular activities that I volunteer for also, and I teach them right and wrong. At least they will grow up knowing the real world and not be a victim to it. There's a lot of parents who shelter their children and then are surprised when their kids end up in prisons, on drugs, etc. My kids wont have to end up with any of those problems, they see first hand that there are consequences for their actions. I know this is controversial, however nothing will come close to changing my mind. I LOVE and ADORE my husband, hes a better man than most.... enjoy the show. Sarah Hi Sarah!, Nice hearing from you. No need for you to defend yourself to me. Who am I to judge. Anyone who feels good about what they are doing in life, has an advantage over me. There are times when I am not certain about the decisions I have made, and continue to make. I congratulate you in your conviction to stick with what's in your heart. I wish nothing but good things for you and your family!.........Just remember one thing,
"how would we ever know what we need to change, if we never make mistakes"!
Good Luck, DARLENE |

Sarah How can you say he's worth caring for? He apparently didn't think his victim was worth much. And YES, you are setting a horrible example for your two daughters. You have an awful lot of growing up to do if you think that this situation is anywhere near healthy. You put your girls in harms way every time you take them to the prison. Whether you give him money or wait by the phone in irrelevant. These girls deserve better than to be drug off to a prison to be searched so a stranger that has found God (as so many of them claim to do for the parole boards sake) can play Daddy to them. Shame on you! Women like me who love their children above and beyond everything would never dream of doing something so dangerous to them. And as far as he being a better man than most, if that were the case he wouldn't be in prison for killing another human being. I had a family member murdered and it is not something I take lightly. Murderers deserve to be punished not to enjoy the rights that law ABIDING citizens enjoy. Luckily if he ever gets out it will be so long from now your girls will be grown. Hopefully they won't be waiting on some human waste themselves. |

Sarah Sarah, I feel not only sorry for you but more so for your children. You are putting your own desires and addictions ahead of your primary responsibility - your kids. You state: 1. You have high self esteem. If you did, you would want better for yourself and your children. 2. You love your husband with all your heart but you're not sure you'll be able to keep up the relationship because he's on the outside? What happened to the "til death do us part?" You don't understand love and sacrifice. 3. Your children are taught about God from your husband. A couple of hours a week? A constant role model (model = emulating behavior) of God's word will teach more than a couple of hours in the "joint." 4. We've known each other for years. How? How much do you know about someone when you see them in the same setting under controlled situations ALL THE TIME? You think you know him. You know only what he wants you to know. 5. Concerning using women, you are among a million that have said your husband won't do that to them. I guess all the others were stupid and you just got lucky. 6. And my FAVORITE: "I would NEVER allow for my daughters to be put in harms way." Your husband is a murderer. You are going to bring him home, into your house amongst your daughters. You do not know how he will react in a new situation so by even taking that chance, you have elected to put your kids in harms way. The fact you cannot see that shows how skewed your logic is. 7. We aren't jumping to conclusions. You are. we have statistics and data on our side. You only have hope. 8. "At least they will grow up knowing the real world and not be a victim to it" Sarah, wake up. WE are in the real world, not you and your kids. The vast majority of the population has normal relationships and do not bring their kids to a prison. The vast majority us us have not been in prison and by some miraculous feat, have escaped being a victim. Dare I say most have us have even excelled? 9. ahhh....better to bring your kids to prison now then have them end up there later? Skewed logic. 10. My kids see consequences of their actions and I never have to bring them to a prison. Amazing. It's a phenomenon known as PARENTING. Dr. Phil might be able to suggest some books on the topic. 11. Your husband is a better man than most. Well, I have news for you, most husbands aren't murderers, unless you mean it's only because you see him a couple of hours a week. Good luck with your life, but based on your track record I'd have to pass on a famous quote from a famous Dr.: How's that workin' for ya? |

Sarah Having worked in behavioral health for almost 30 yrs. I came away with a variety of concerns for both you and your daughters. Initially, I thought that you were there because you were looking for Dr. Phil’s help. This is not your first or even second involvement with a man behind bars but your third! Even more disturbing when Dr. Phil questioned you about all of those other guys out there you indicated that you ‘just weren’t attracted’ to the non-criminal types. Almost as if danger HAS to be an element for you to pursue a relationship. Even more baffling you expressed an attraction/ fascination with his tattoos. The MOST superficial thing about the man. Lastly, you spoke of his being behind bars as ‘better’ than having a man at home engaged in violence as if there were no other options! What about intimacy-I’m not simply referring to physical intimacy, either. You are pursuing men and relationships that CAN NOT provide you with a companion. You’re involved with a man charged with murder, as I understand. I feel that there is a REAL fundamental reason that you ‘dump’ guys after they are out. I may be completely wrong, however, having ALL those fantasies about these dangerous and forbidden men keeps you involved. I believe that when there are no bars and they are in your home reality hits and the ‘danger’ changes from the thrill of having a dangerous man LOCKED away, to the recognition that the danger is real and now living with you and your children. Dr. Phil made some excellent points about children. You are their same sex role model. The most important influence your daughters will EVER have. They are learning about men through your choices! You are consistently involving yourself with men you can NOT have a REAL day to day relationship with. I was wondering what ‘threatens’ you about having a truly intimate companion in your life? Someone who is there for you when you have to say, rush a child to the hospital at 3AM. What could be the worst thing that could happen if you had a man who held your hand and was physical and emotional THERE any time of the day or night and could support YOU emotionally through life’s most dreadful experiences? I’ve asked a lot of questions. Just wondering about these things. I wish you well. |

Sarah Have to disagree with you - all they see is mom taking them to some dirty yucky prison to visitt this guy who murdered another human being - someone neither you nor hubby ever seem to want to think about - he didn't just makea 'mistake' - he took a life and destroyed a family.
Your girls don't get to see a regular marriage - wehre mommy and daddy have dinner together most evenings and go to their plays or dance recitals or soccer games - they don't see a real marriage relationshipwith bother persons making a home for them - they aren't learning how to have real relationships with men themselves.
You may think you are strong and you might very well be - but personally I think you are doing wrong by your girls - very wrong. Isn't there a safe place like grandparents where your girls can spend the afternoon instead of bringing them to a prison to visit your man - and no - he ain't their step-daddy - he's not raising them. |
