10/10 Wifestyles

I agree with you totally and I wish I could have said it half as well. I also think this topic has consumed too much of my time and energy. Diane'sslams against choosing to have a career and parentwould have provoked most working mothers.And watching Kelly's broken spirtit and dead eyed look broke my heart for her.

But no one will convince Diane that women who work outside their homes aren't raising the next crop of jailbirds. No one is going toconvince Grantto change how he treats hiswife. We know we can do what we do and that has to be enough.

I never said that women who worked outside the home were raising jailbirds.  I said that it's better for kids to have a parent at home.  Talk about assuming and judging!  And as for Grant, he has made a valiant effort to try and express himnself here, and he is still being attacked.  I suppose there will always be people who are unwilling to listen and only hear what they want to.  That's my last post to you, so I hope it clears things up.

Just a note as people are signing off.

You are right that no one else can make Grant change how he acts.  He is the only one who can decide who and how he wants to be. However, he certainly isn't worth just writing off as another hopless jerk.  He was painfully honest, and unfortunatly did not express himself well-AT ALL. Believe it or not, I love him.  I need to have faith in him because he is my husband and the father of the 3 sweetest things I have ever seen.  If I was hopeless and "done" fighting, then I would have bypassed the national debut of my husband's disontent with me.  My husband has enjoyed and respected Dr. Phil for his no nonsense style.  My husband is defensive right now, and still in a little shock.  Let the shock wear off, and he will contemplate the situation.  We are already working on assignments from Dr. Phil given to us after the show.  I have SO appreciated the support from these boards and say "Thank you".  Don't give up on us so quickly.  As the staff told us here at our home, Dr. Phil approves each guest and takes on guests who he thinks are capable of change.  This show was the start.  A scarry-terrifying start, but a start.  I will continue to watch the boards and follow your posts.  Thanks again! Kelly
