Topic : 09/25 The Dr. Phil House: A Family's Last Chance, Part 2

just watching this stuff. I think I am more angry at her reaction when she finally confessed.She was more worried abourt her husband saying something in front of the kids than she was about the act itself. She doesn't the kids to find out? Way too late!  I don't believe one little bit of her remorse, either. She seems to be putting on a big show for the cameras. I hope, if nothing else, that this woman finally figures out that the only one who is fooled is herself. I'll bet money that almost everyone here 'had her number' the first time they watched her. pitiful!

I grew up in a household that was not physically violent, but still unhappy and dysfunctional nonetheless. The best thing my mother ever did was divorce my stepdad. He was in the military, and was simply an a**hole. I don't know how else to put it. The best thing God did is give my mother a brain, and the ability to reason, to tell her to get out, as we children were suffering from all of the fighting.

Many petty things are forgiveable, but to forgive an abusive spouse 490 times and let the kids suffer, is simply idiotic. I think we all want to try and make things work: it's the nature of a well rounded and well adjusted human being. But at some point, a good person will get the hell out for the sake of the children. I would use my common sense before turning to scripture.

I though I would never feel this strong again.  But as I saw her give her speach, all I could do was cringe.  The only thing she was sorry for was that she got caught.  The tears were for her not him.  She only cares about herself and that he should have the option of telling her just what she is.  That is what her tears are for.  She does not deserve those kids. 

I feel nothing for her put pity.

what a sad marriage, for todd and jessica, especially the children.  i knew jessica cheated on todd you could tell by her body language.  i really dont think she ever loved todd and she wanted out of the marriage or she would have not cheated no matter how bad it was.  if i was todd i would leave her and request full custody of the children, (ALL THREE) she lost her chance being a mother and a wife.

it makes me sad to say that but that is how i feel about her

I agree that her actions are wrong and I agree his actions are wrong. But really who are we to judge? No  one on earth is perfect and we all make mistakes.  I have learned a few things from life. One of them comes from my grand-father. He used to say (french expression), "when you spit in the air it falls back on your nose".
