Quote From: kellykhbOK...I was at the second taping with my mother and I have to say, I agree that the husband needs help. I agree that he has an anger issue that needs to be dealt with. I actually believe that he believes that he has committed a crime somewhere, some place and he might have.
No one makes any comments or statements of his military background. Being married to ex-military...now law enforcement, daughter of a retired probation officer and surrounded by that type of life style all my life, his behavior with regards to the ex-FBI guy was not suprising. Anyone who wears a uniform is conditioned to NOT look at individuals as the wife stated as "human". If they stop just for one moment and "feel" anything, I could mean their life. FAMILY is all you have when overseas, on the streets, anywhere. The rest is being honorable and completing your mission and/or job the best one can. I would have to say, I understand both sides because WE are not the one experiencing this situation and it's real easy to sit up there and judge. I will say that if anyone thought I was a danger especially to my children, I would be anger that someone, anyone would not remove them from my home. That they would allow the possibility of them getting hurt or worse. His anger came from a place of protection which is what he did for our country. That is something that not all of you can say you are willing to do.
This show left me feeling that the wife was looking for a way out and weak. And as for the husband, now that he is on psych meds and open for critism and judgement...broken. I think is was sad and pathetic to here that his own father handed him a gun and one bullet, that he feels he's not worthy of being a "man" in his family.
I hope Dr. Phil really does get to the bottom of it. I really hope that both parties can find some peace. But more than anything, those children (all of them) are protected from harsh comments and learn, experience that there are healthy and happy relationships that can be established.
I THINK MICHELLE BAITED WADE ON AND OFF THE SHOW. SHE IS PLAYING THE VICTIM FOR ALL IT'S WORTH. YES, SHE HAS BEEN THRU A LOT BUT SHE NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM AND EITHER LEAVE HIM OR HELP HIM. EVEN IF IT MEANS HE HAS TO BE HOSPITALIZED FOR SOMETIME. IF HE DID DO ALL THESE THINGS SHE SHOULD BE LONG GONE W/ THEIR KIDS AND ONLY SEE HIM W/ SUPERVISION.
IF WHAT SHE SAID JACK, THE POLYGRAPH MAN, TOLD HER TO DO TO GET WADE TO TALK, IS TRUE, JACK SHOULD BE PUT UP ON SOME KIND OF CHARGES FOR BAITING WADE AND PUTTING MICHELLE IN DANGER. HOW WOULD JACK HAVE FELT IF WADE HAD KILLED HER IN ONE OF THE ROLE PLAYINGS JACK TOLD HER TO DO? OF COURSE IF SHE WAS KILLED NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN JACK TOLD HER TO DO WHAT SHE DID. ONLY SHE AND JACK KNEW. DR PHIL NEEDS TO INVESTGATE JACK FOR HIS TACTICS. AND WHY IS THE POLYGRAPH MAN TELLING HER WHAT TO DO ANYWAY. SHE SHOULD BE ASKING DR. PHIL.
I BELIEVE WADE WAS RIGHT IN HIS ANGER TOWARD JACK (ON STAGE) FOR WHAT HE HAD MICHELLE DO. WADE'S ANGER THEN WAS JUSTIFIED AND NOT TO OVER THE TOP. I BELIEVE IT CAME FROM HIS DESIRE TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY AND THE POSTION JACK PUT MICHELLE IN. HE WAS ANGRY W/ JACK FOR PUTTING HIS WIFE IN A "DANGEROUS" SITUATION. SUPPOSEDLY JACK THOUGHT WADE WAS A MURDER BUT PUT MICHELLE INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION ANYWAY. NOT A SMART THING TO DO. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO JACK FOR HIS ALMOST FATAL MISTAKE. JACK'S DEFENSE WAS WADE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HIS WIFE HE KILLED SOMEONE. WHAT CRAP........... WHEN WADE WAS YELLING AT JACK, JACK SAID MICHELLE HAD NO WHERE TO GO. SO SHE STAYED IN THE HOUSE W/ A MURDER. BULL SH........SHE COULD HAVE GONE TO THE POLICE. JACK WAS WRONG AND SHOULD PAY FOR HIS MISTAKE. HE HAD NO BUSINESS GIVING ADVICE.
IF WADE IS A MURDER, I WONDER IF IT IS PART OF HIS PTSD. THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF MEN COMING BACK W/ SYMPTOMS JUST LIKE WADES. LIFE LIKE DREAMS THAT ARE NOT REAL AND SOME MEN HAVE KILLED THEMSELVES OVER IT.
DR. LAWLESS NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE AND TO HELP WADE TILL HE IS HEALTHY AND NORMAL AGAIN. THIS COUNTRY OWES THIS TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN COMING HOME FROM WAR. SO MANY OF THEM HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE WADE'S. SOME NOT AS BAD SOME WORSE. THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY MEN OUT THERE RAPING, MURDERING, ETC DUE TO THEIR MENTAL PROBLEMS FROM THE WAR. MOST WE WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT OF COURSE. AND SOME MAY BE KILLING THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF WHAT THEIR MINDS ARE DOING TO THEM.AND THIS COUNTRY IS IGNORING SO MANY OF THEM.
DR. LAWLESS EVEN SAID WADE HAS A PROBLEM WITH REALITY. DR. PHIL SAID THEY HAVEN'T FOUND PROOF OF A BODY BY THE HIGHWAY. SO IT MAY ALL BE IN WADES MIND. LETS HOPE SO AND HE CAN BE HELPED.
I WISH THE BEST FOR WADE AND HIS FAMILY. ONLY TIME AND TREATMENT WILL TELL.
MICHELLE; BE PATIENCE AND SUPPORTIVE WEATHER YOU STAY MARRIED OR NOT. HE HIS YOUR CHILDRENS FATHER. THEY WILL NEED HIM WHEN HE IS WELL. ALSO STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM AND STOP BAITING WADE. MAYBE HAVE NO CONTACT FOR AWHILE AND LET THE DOCTORS HELP HIM.
DR. PHIL COULD HAVE HANDLED THE STAGE SITUATION BETTER MANY TIMES. MICHELLE DIDN'T NEED TO ATTACK WADE. DR. PHIL SHOULD HAVE CONFRONTED JACK PERIOD.
