Do you know someone who turns your stomach or makes you cringe the minute they walk into the room? If so, Dr. Phil has advice for managing toxic relationships. Janet left her husband, Mark, on 10 separate occasions in their first year of marriage. She says she’s tired of being his maid and concubine, and of putting up with his lying, and his selfish and unsympathetic ways. Mark thinks Janet needs to get over her deep-seated issues. Why does she keep tolerating his behavior, and is he the only one at fault? Then, Gay and MG say their lives are being torn apart by their daughter, Summer’s, hostility and abuse. They say she lies about illnesses, verbally attacks them and blames them for her chaotic lifestyle. Summer feels betrayed by her parents and even accuses them of taking away her child. Find out Gay’s ultimatum to Summer and share your thoughts here.

Harsh!

Generally I agree with you but Janet gave me the creeps and you kept hammering on Mark.  This woman portrayed herself  as a VICTIM who thoroughly ENJOYED her so-called victimization and a WHINER too!  For me, whatever Mark does, have done is nothing compared to her manipulation of him and you.  The man was trying to understand his part of this disfunctional relationship (which I believe is because of Janet for the most part) but you kept the blame game.  Thought you were smarter than that!

I'm curious - what about Janet gave you the creeps? I disagree with you - she has been beaten down by his abuse, and has tried to save their marriage. He won't even acknowledge that he has been abusive!

I am guessing you are male, and probably abusive too.
