(Original Air Date: 04/24/06) Have you ever been so fed up with your spouse's behavior that you’ve considered giving him or her an ultimatum? Dr. Phil talks to guests who say their marriage is on the rocks, and they need help reconnecting. Barbara calls her stepdaughter, Ambreah, "a monster." She says she inherited “the little thing" when her husband, Ed's, ex-wife was in a tragic car accident. Ambreah no longer lives with them, but Barbara says if Ed brings her back into their house, she'll leave. Should Ed be forced to choose between his wife and his child? Then, Bobby, a country music singer, says his wife, Danyel's, jealous ways are pushing him to the brink. She curses out other women, checks his cell phone records and accuses him of cheating on her. Bobby says if Danyel doesn't stop her behavior, he's ready to go solo. Is Bobby giving Danyel a reason to sing the blues? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

You've got to be kidding me!

I'm not quite sure what this man is thinking! I mean and from a mothers standpoint what the hell is the woman thinking? This little girl was in the car accident which basically killed her mother, she suffered not only physical, but I'm sure major emotional problems as well! What kind of a woman would not be there for a child who clearly needs as much love and special attention as she can get? How dare she be jealous of a little girl who needs her fathers love and attention! And how dare he as well! That's his own flesh and blood and Dr. Phil should not have had to be the one to point that out to him, he should have already known! They need serious help because that little girl will be the one to suffer and it will extend into her adult life as well unfortunately...

I just want to hug her and read her a bed time story and keep her safe

I sure the heck home that Dr. Phil watches this little girl like a gaurdian Angel and make sure she is being treated with all the tlc she needs to feel loved and safe. It is hard not knowing if she is in a safe loving enviroment or just parked some place.

Where are the Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles? Someone had to know how horrid this woman was being to the child.

04/24 The Final Ultimatum

I am so sick of adults acting like the children.....

I dont care who it was that was asking me to choose between them or my daughter......it could be God himself.....I would always choose my daughters health and happiness over anyone else. That is what being a parent is about. He needs to get rid of the wife and get his child into therapy so she can start healing from the tragic events that have happened in her short little life. And we wonder why there are so many children out there that are turning to drugs and making bad choices................. its time these parents step up and make the children a priority.

This is a selfish father

I am appalled at this show, Thank you Dr Phil for telling him off. I know many men chose a women over children but my God this is over the top. The poor child is suffering from an accident, losing a mother, and then the father sends her away because she, a child cannot deal with the adulteress women in her fathers life. I would assume that the accident may have been caused by the stress of the affair. Therefore, the adulteress women should pray to God she will not be forever cast into hell. The father also! How disgusting is this! I have never been so compelled so express my feelings on line before. Never! I just joined this email to express my disgust at this situation.

WHAT KIND OF DAD IS THAT????

Truly at a loss for words. I am shocked at him, he is a father!!!! I hate to say it but this is truly an example of a male who clearly thinks with the head below his waist instead of the one on his sholders.

Is it just me or do you see a common theme that seems to be present in almost all the stepmothers who think that the little kids are devious ,conniving, sly,and plotting against them?They really seem to think its a contest or something. I can't understand it.

Sick to My Stomache!!!

I forgot to say how disgusted I am at how immature they both are. How he as a father can not understand why his daughter feels the way she does about the person she believes broke up her family...and how this woman can't understand herself. I wish you'd asked her where her kids are. I can't believe that he's so insecure that he thinks that no other woman would love him AND his daugher and would love his daughter as if she were her own. I swear if I was there I would've let her have a piece of my mind, for sure....

Hey Elwood!

Quote From: elwood

Well, thanks for your kind words, i guess

I just wanted you all to know that it was never my intention to defend Barbara's hitting Ambreah

I just wanted people to see that the situation is not black-and-white.

The little girl probably has some behavioral problems that she will need to overcome, and I hope she does.

Some of your remarks about how I was defending a child abuser hurt me very badly and made me cry and I am not a big crier.

Needless to say, I won't be posting here for a long time. Maybe some of you will be glad, I don't know.

I learned a lesson today though. If I ever want to express an opinion that goes against the majority, you really need to have a backbone because it is not easy.

If you see Ed, give him my message, will you? Thanks, nasale ;-)

Let the baby girl go to a loving home

The little girl on todays show should be permanently removed from her father. If he choose his mistress/wife over his wife and daughter that's fine. It's better to know that he won't protect the child without the threat of Dr. Phil taking protective actions. He didn't want the wife and he doesn't want the daughter. Please don't force him to keep this child, that will only put the child in more serious danger. He knows the woman wants to hurt his child, and he's all for it. You see he put the child out and kept the woman. Is there some financial reason he won't put her up for adoption. There must be money involved or he probably would have left her at the hospital with her mother. Is there a stipulation of some kind that he doesn't get paid if the child goes to a loving home?. He doesn't love that child. Don't ever send her back to them, cause if the mistress/wife leaves the child is at his mercy. The mother certainly didn't lie on her, she is everything the mother said she was.

Little girl lost

I have to say that I am worried about some of the reactions I have read here today related to a six year old child. Yes she may have behavioral issues. Yes she may be difficult to raise because of her emotional and mental health issues. She will have them for the next several years and prob. most of her life. However these issues are not her fault in any way. Her parent's inflicted them upon her and frankly, her stepmother, a woman who has an affair with a married man and then says such cruel things about a child who has lost her mother is truly disturbing. I really don't care if it's hard on step-mom, she's an adult and is able to make adult choices, including marrying a man who has a child with behavioral issues. This child needs love, attention and extensive counseling. Hopefully Dr. Phil can help. I know every one thinks that CPS should be called, but trust me if this can be resolved with out them it would be best( They have a tendency to make things worse!) or she should be left in a kinship placement with the people she is with now.
