First I would like to say that I am very sorry to hear about your father.  I too have been faces with family tragedy in my life (as many of us have) and know the worries you speak of and how they have consumed your thoughts.

Second, I am very sad that someone going through this type of worry would have such little compassion for those in a perhaps not equal struggle, but a struggle none-the-less.  This is a serious disorder that affects many people in the world.  I can promise you that those inflicted with this disorder would likely give up being the most beautiful person in the world if they could only be happy with who they are.  I also think that it takes an intelligent person to see when someone is really suffering and when someone is just acting.  Dr. Phil has proven his intelligence time and time again; I truly doubt he would have guests on knowing they were simply spoiled brats and not call them out on it.  He has touched on a very important topic here and I hope that everyone that reads your message knows that you are clearly taking out your own frustrations of the struggle you are enduring on poor Innocent people. 

I hope you find piece with your tragedy.
