I just got done watching today's show on Jenny and Jeremy, and became quite angry at some aspects of the show. First off, I'm a 24 year old wife and mother of 2 little girls. It was a little scary watching the show because it reminded me of where my husband and I were a year and a half ago. Although I realize how traumatic and horrible this can be for the children involved, it is just as detrimental to the couple. My heart went out to Jenny, and I know this may surprise some people. I remembered that I was just like her. I had a lot of negative energy and anger built up and would blow up at points in my relationship when it was unnecessary. I felt bad for her when I was watching the show, because it seemed that everyone was attacking her-even her own family! I don't feel anyone is in a place to judge except for the Lord, and all the people on this show were passing judgements left and right. It sickened me to see Jeremy acting as if he was innocent or that everything he did was justifiable because of his wife's actions. There is no excuse for either of them. They have both played a role in getting their relationship to this point, and fingers need to stop being pointed. I would have reacted the same way if I was Jenny...I felt they were bringing her down in every way they could and only acknowledged and illuminated her mistakes and bad behaviors. At a few points Dr.Phil addressed his concerns with Jeremy, but somehow, it always came back to Jenny, as if it was somehow her fault. I think the husband needs to stand up and take some responsibility for his failing marriage too. Fortunately, I am a prime example of how a relationship like this can still work out. My husband and I were going through divorce proceedings, but since have completely dropped our case and are a much happier, healthier couple. In fact, for the first time in our 5 year marriage we're doing things the right way. We're compromising, the violence and negativity is no longer present, and we're being the best parents we can be to our two little girls and have another baby girl on the way. I pray for this couple. I pray that they can come together, stop blaming, and grow up and figure out the issues that have brought them to this point. They will remain in my prayers!
