Topic : 05/18 Alex Turns 18

You know, this is the first time that I have seen this family, but I'm happy to hear that they're doing really well now! Nathan will have a good life ahead of him, & I'm so happy for Alex & her family to turn everything around in which they have bad things going on for them that they had before. My prayers goes out to all of them, especially Alex & Nathan. Very well done!

I missed the first 15 min. of today's show.  I know CRAZY right!  That's what happens when you have kids.  Can someone please tell me why Erin was not on the show today?

I think you have the two families mixed up, the family today only has two girls and the grandson, there is another family that had a boy that was sent away.............................

My husband is "all man"!  and he cries.  He cried  at our wedding, he cried when our daughter was born.  I would MUCH rather live with someone who is not afraid to show their emotions than someone who thinks they are too macho for such a human display. 

What happens when her kid has to go to kindergarden?? she can't simultaneously work and deal with getting him to and from school, especially being in law enforcement; how much will she be able to be around and who will be helping her with things? she mentioned that she sees herself getting married and dr phil looked at her like she's crazy if she gets married soon. well, us women get scared when we're faced with the idea of how are we supposed to work and have our kid(s) in school with no help, it's either one choice of working and supporting your kid or getting with someone so you can simply do it when you got nobody else to do it. dr phil making her go to college was a waste if she don't got people willing to help with the boy when it's schooltime, because she won't be able to do both unless she got help. what choice? is my question. there is none when her boy has to attend school if she's solely responsible while everyone else works and is uncompromising to their lifestyles. i had nobody to help me, lots of women are like us who have kids young, and we get married and give up our dreams because the rest of the world don't care and offer help.

  

ITS BEEN SOOOO LONG SINCE WE HAVE HEARD ANYTHING FROM YOU GUYS I AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING FOR ALL OF YOU AND I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY WELLNESS HAS BEEN RESTING WITH YOU GUYS CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU  AND WHATS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE LAST TIME WE ALL SAW YOU  THANKS FOR COMING BACK AND LETTING US HEAR FROM YOU AND WHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN UP TOO  

  

they didn't say. just that she was holding down the fort LOL.

 i am all man also,,,,,a man my wife looks up to,,,,she never is reaching for the kleenex so i can wipe my cry baby tears away at the hint of some problems in my life,,,,,i can and have cried many times when it was the time and place.....never when my wife or family needed me to be the pillar of the family ....not a marshmallow like Marty,,,,

You sound way too bitter and angry to be an earth mother! lol. If you were that concerned about the planet then you wouldn't have had children - it's over population that is killing the earth. 

  

I thought the truck was great and really practical as Alex lives on a farm.  

  

Nice wheels Alex!! 

  

  

I must say I was very skeptical about this family. I am so relieved to hear that they are doing well and that marty has been able to keep his family together. THAT is something to be proud of! It takes an extraordinary man to do the tough work what Marty did.  

  

Alex and Katherine are adorable. They really have come into their own. They too should be proud. I'd love to hear more from Erin.  

  

I wish my family had the courage to do what this family did.
