Quote From: lynnie59Our family watched this show, and CANNOT understand the need to meet, talk, give the time of day to this person who murdered their mother!! Forget it! He's not worth it and there's no good to come from this "reunion".... it's unhealthy, sick and cruel. I do think it is disrespectful to the mother to have any desire to meet the man who killed her in cold blood! no way.
I have personal experience with a father who molested me, gave up his parental rights in exchange for never having to pay the child support he owed my mother and any future child support....
Not every man is a father or a person who deserves to be given a second chance, this is definitely one of those situations.. there are other people this woman can get love and support from in her life. This guy is sick and why he was not executed for the murder he committed is another question, let alone he is now out and FREE???? and we call this justice for the victims??? I don't think so....
this show irritated me and my family, we thought Dr. Phil should've counseled this woman to move on, this man took her mother away and he has issues.
We think he missed the boat on this show for sure...
the anger, the hurt that this show has dredged up for so many. My ex was an abuser, and when I found out he had taken my daughter to a place where drugs were....I left him and I was only 19. Do I have any hate for him now? No, I have NO feelings for him either way. I had to let go of all the power he had over me to be able to grow as a person. My dad was ex-military; very strict - he was the reason I left home at 15......there is a fine line between fear and respect, I had to establish that line. When my dad was diagnosed at the age of 82 with terminal brain cancer, I quit my job and took care of him until the day he died. I have two brothers that could not find it in them to do it and my mom was too fragile after 52 years of putting up with his rampages. We found that line of mutual respect/fear - but only after I decided I was in control of my life. Many occasion, I was the one thrown in between the fights between my mom and dad, I had found the courage to control my destiny, my mom couldn't so she always called me to deal with my dad. I have no regrets on that front.
Let go of the hate, no not everyone that has a child is a parent, the ability to reproduce doesn't make you a parent - and all hatred begets is hatred.
I wasn't happy when, after my daughter had grown up, she took up with a married man, even lived in the same house with both of them before the wife granted a divorce - it was all wrong from many moral fronts.....they are now happily married and choose to live in another state - I let hatred and control almost cost me my daughter. I learned the lesson hatred begets hatred, I couldn't push my own daughter into hating me and realized that in time enough to stop it.
Let it go.
