family's like this
Quote From: mi_lillyTHANK YOU DR. PHIL!!!
Thanks for having shows like this time and again. There are so many family members like Enza, who dont know what to do. I am in a similar situation. I did the wrong things, but I tried to do something. One therapist, working thru the school, quit after meeting so much resistance, from the family member of teens he was trying to help. Thanks, Dr Phil for your dedication and innovation in treating families. That is scary, there are a lot of problems in my own family. One large one due to the fact that my 22nd year old son who is mentally ill because his biological mother took drugs is one. My husband and my other grown children have had to deal with these mental illness issues, never mind the fact that my Son will never have a normal life because of someone elses problems. We have always gotten help for him and continue in many different ways to help including letiing other agencys help him. So , I guess, my point which isn't coming out clearly is. these shows kindof make me sick. Here we did nothing but help our Son and the problems never end for him or us and this family with that Aunt is just so terrible. Yelling, pointing fingers, drinking problems and on and on. I hate this particular show because is shows such dispare and we here at our house, who have only tried to get the help my Son needs, sees a family that has been in denial for God knows how long. I wish there could be some happy endings to these t ype of problems , but when you have family memebers that make things worse, it will be nearly impossible. All of a suddend the girl won't be ok, just because Dr. Phil stepped in. It will be because of his vast resources and ties that can get the girl away from her family. My Son, like many other metally ill people , who need help and many times refuse it will continue to struggle along day by day. That's life, there are no guarinteens, I know, and sorry about the spelling issues here, but I will not give up on my Son , but with the laws the way they are, there is only so much I can do . He must want help also and if t here are other poeple out there with relatives with mental health issues, le me know......sable
