I don't think the kids or the dad are bad people. They obviously love each other and that should be what counts! I'm sure it has to be a very confusing time for them all! They need counseling to help them through this...after all, they are still parent and children, regardless of the "shell" that the parent is in. If Dr. Phil was a "real psychologist" he would have focused on their love and went from there and not played the blame game!
Doctor Phil is a real psychologist, but like you he dropped the ball on this.
He should have asked Kayla if she would be willing not to wear make up, dress like a man etc. around his children. There should be some sort of compromise and not shades of black and white. That is what all therapist strive to do is to get the clients out of the all or nothing mentality that society has edicted.
Feeling are hurt all the way around they need to be acknowledged and then the rift needs to be mended.
Meeting in the middle of such emotional issues is the only way anyone can walk away with a sense of peace and not feeling like they were the victims.
