Wow say that, Well put !

Quote From: ceildh1

So he's not their father, and he wanted to be the hero, okay, but did he NOT research or was he blind to the reality of caring for not just one but THREE special needs children, okay what's done is done they got married and now he can't handle it, when you marry someone with kids, they're a package deal special needs and all.

That being said though, they are HUMAN all parents are and we make mistakes we do the best we can with what we've been given.  If anything, they look exhausted, and its not like they can just hire the neighbor's teen to babysit so they can get a break, even other family members may not be able to handle sitting for them, those children require Specialized care.  I really hope maybe the Doc can get them a respite worker to help them out.

My heart does go out to the eldest child, its not her fault, its no fault of the triplets, and really, its not her Mother's fault, her three younger sibling require more attention and care, and ten, well she's not really old enough to understand, and even if she does, she's NOT going to like it.

My comment to him, look be a man and either dig in and do what needs doing, or leave, your wife has enough to deal with, she dosen't need you holding that over her head, but if you still want to be the "Hero" GET OVER YOURSELF, and do what needs doing.

And a friendly reminder to anyone considering marriage for the second time around, your spouse may be coming as a package deal, and children cannot be just put under the bed or back in a toybox when you get tired of them.

  no more, need be said.... EstherSue1

I can not agree more.  When you are a parent, you are a parent.  He made a choice.

I can see where you are coming from I guess, but how many men or women for that matter could go on and on like this without putting their hand up and saying God I don't measure up to this task!! I think he has already stepped up by being on the Dr Phil show and being honest with everyone. Nobody can possibly know what it is like until they have been there.  Good for him for his honesty and if he hadn't got to this breaking point then the light may not have been shone on this wonderful couple and their struggle to keep their heads above water.  As usual Dr Phill makes my spirit soar with what he does for such  deseving causes.  How good is this life we live!
