I am back!
Quote From: corkieWow!!! I just finished watching Dr. Phil, and I was so happy to see that Greg and Amy are doing better. I have been worried about them and there girls every since we taped the show.
Greg, I am in tears right now and I am so proud of you and Amy. I got way too invested in this show, and I was scared that you would not change. I agree that women and men will never be the same in many aspects of life, but both deserve love and respect. I'm glad that I got to be a small part in your lives and I hope that our conversations off camera let you know that I wanted the best for you and your family.
Amy, it 's heart warming to see that you are realizing the incredible woman that you have always been. Women are a precious gift and deserve to be treated that way.
Keep up the good work and God Bless you both.
With the warmest regards,
***REBECCA***AKA***Spitfire Well, I feel stronger than I did the last time and feel like my "Old Self" for the most part. We are thankful to the three women, however, most of what you all did to my husband was for show, and the other part was to show him what a hard-ass he was to live with. Now most people looking in didn't understand that I had been married before, and this time around I was trying to please my husband in every way possible. Greg has his problems as do I, and we knew before going into the show that we were willing to go to counseling. I am thankful that he was as receptive as he was to receiving the help, and at first it was not that easy. I wasn't sure if he would go through with it after the show. But after the first couple of weeks he really started to work at it. There are plenty of people out there that need the help and can't get it for whatever reason. My advice to those of you who know without a doubt that you could use counseling is to keep searching, keep reading the books, and investing in your marriage if you care and love your families. Kids are a precious gift from God. You also have to remember what the repercussions of divorce are... and remember that you will have to still work on yourself if you walk away from your marriage with or without kids. I would also like to let the women out there know how important it is to stay true to yourself. Keep in mind that you are a valuable asset, worthy of being loved, worthy of being treated with respect, and that your needs are just as important as your husbands needs. Both of my girls are doing great! Erika is in all advanced classes in her school, and Maya is in a gifted class. I am proud of both of them. Greg has always loved taking our girls places and spending time with them. He is a good Daddy and more importantly he really listens, really listens to what they have to say even when they are upset. He cares about us and is implementing the things that our counselor, Dr. Nise, has advised him on. She has been a tremendous help and as humble as she is I know we could not have done it without her. However, Greg was being very sincere when he gave out his "thank you's" and I know he appreciates the time he had with you, Rebecca. Thanks for talking with us after the show, and for sharing your feelings on the matter. Though we are not altogether done with our counseling, we have made huge progress in our marriage. We actually hear each other and desire to make those changes, and accept the things that are different in each other. Greg says to tell you "hello" too. Take care and respond when you get a chance. Sincerely, Amy
