Quote From: ritzimitzyI just finished watching this episode of Dr. Phil. What a shocking story! The whole time that I watched the show I kept thinking that Dr. Phil needed to tell Sarah not to lose both of her sons to this horrible epidemic! I applaud Sarah for bringing this to our attention. It would just be a shame to lose Samuel to this also. I'm not saying that he'd choke himself, but that by disconnecting with him, she is effectively losing this son also. Please Sarah, enjoy Samuel. As hard as it may be to do things with him that you used to also share with Gabriel, it is necessary to spend this time with Samuel. I hope that you went to the Spa that Dr Phil arranged for you because I feel that it is necessary that you make time to spend with Samuel & that he realizes that you love him. I'm not saying any of this to be accusatory or anything remotely like that, just that kids need reassurance & when a parent disconnects, they tend to feel it's their fault.
Now, to do my part. Dr. Phil is shown twice a day in my area. It will air again at 5pm tonight & I will make sure that both of my boys (11 & 16) are sitting in the living room with me to watch this show. I can only hope that neither one has heard of this let alone participated in it! So, we will be watching it tonight & discussing it afterwards. Thanks Sarah, for informing us of this 'game'!
My sincerest condolences to Sarah, your family, friends, & anyone else that has been touched by this & similar tragedies.
Mitzy Hi i read your post.I am sure that Sarah doesn't mean to be distancing herself from Samuel i think she probably is trying so hard to see that this is not going to happen to another child.I know by reading the old boards that this something she has been fighting for so we can keep our kids safe from this dangerous game.I too hope that she does stayed connected to Samuel also.I am sure he needs to be reassured too.I will be watching this also and my 15 yr old by my side as well.She has heard of this game and says its nothing new its been around along time.Although she has seen it she says she would never particpate in it.But i will be having her watch also since i have beeen campaigning to get this on air on the old boards before these ones came up.That was where i first heard of it thanks to Sarah's website i saw and read. www.lovingmygabriel.com . thanks again to Sarah and my deepest sympathies to her and samuel and the rest of the family.Also to those who have lost someone due to this dangerous game.cathy
