(Original Air Date: 04/04/06) Have you ever called it quits and then decided you wanted your ex back? Amber's divorce from her husband of 10 years, Duane, is almost final, but she wonders if she's making the right choice. Is Duane willing to change and meet some of Amber's demands? Should Amber tear up the papers and let Duane move back in? Then, Scott and Erin have been married, divorced, reconciled, engaged and are now separated again. He wants her to come home and raise their children together, but she says she doesn't know how she could ever love him again. What's behind the conflict in this marriage, and can they resolve it and reignite their romance? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

A year later...

This did seem like man bashing if you ask me. Why did we only hear her complaints and not his? I can't believe that the issue of the  "mother who would fight to the death for her kids" willingly GAVE UP  custody of her kids, and admits to paying no child support, was never addressed. Yet now she should be able to come and go in their daily live's according to her own personal agenda ie, hanging out with her friends. The issue of the Mother out partying all the time was quickly swept under the rug and not confronted either.The Father got zero credit for taking custody of his kids. Now if everybody, including Dr. Phil, wants to be honest here....................... 

  

                                    *if the custody arrangement had been reversed and the Mother had custody and the FAther was out partying not paying child support....... 

  

 Dr. Phil would have been all over that man for not paying child support and drilling in how hard it is to be a single parent, bla bal bal balh ( we have all heard his rant on it a zillion times) Dr. Phil would also be advocating a clear cut schedule for visitation so there would no back and forth with the kids. He would be telling the Father how unfair it would be to the kids if he was just showing up when he felt like it and the Mother said no. But in this case he actually chastizes the Father for not allowing the Mother to come and go as she pleases. I mean, think about it, didn't we just see the revesre on the "divorce" show just last week.  

 


A year later, we find Erin still sitting nightly on a barstool and having an affair with a married man that has destroyed his life (yes, he had a part in it), his wife's life and his children's.  Erin, you are the ultimate party girl.  Why not admit that and move on.  You complain about paying child support BUT you do not want to have the kids with you full-time as their dad does.  JOINT CUSTODY in this case means you have some say in decisions about their medical treatment, education, etc.  It DOES NOT mean they live with you.  You even bring your married lover on your visits with your children.  And you say that's being a "good mother?"
