What I believe that all are a missing here is that, he has job applications that he has filled out...and is in the waiting process.
We are all different in the way that we view the world, because we all come from different backgrounds, different cultures.
He has made mistakes, yes, were they good mistakes or bad is totally up to the one that is a working himself back from it...
In life we all have forward and backward steps that we take...just because all of his monetary markers have gone by the way side...does not make this man a dead beat father and provider.
Just because he hit rock bottom, doesn't mean that the God that he and his family pray to, wasn't real or only imagined.
What Dr. Phil stated about the need to provide for his family and to consider the options of birth control means...wasn't slanted. It was Dr. Phil being as real as he always comes across.
Dr. Phil took a chance when he loved Texas the state that he and Robin loved and moved to the city of Angels. I wouldn't have considered it...for it is like the leading number one city for violent crime and such..yet Doc knew that he was a being called there as perhaps a Light in the darkness.
Doc didn't weigh all the pros and cons...he just knew within himself that Oprah was someone he knew and respected and felt was a doing good things for all...and he and Robin went for it.
Oprah admitted on his 1000 Show...(I loved the shows...by the way and cried when Oprah appeared on your show...the first guest...so cool!) that she didn't think he would have stayed with doing what he was a doing let alone hit his 1000 show, and thought it would end after 4 or 5 years.
So sometimes just a stepping out in faith is all one really can do...you know?
Perhaps this man is simply a test for us all. That test could be: "judge not least thee be judged."
So your statement that he isn't concerned with reality at all...I felt to not be real...yet I know that is my opinion...we all have our own...
Just my thoughts
Love, Light, and Peace
