Topic : 10/09 The Dr. Phil House: A Family's Last Chance, Part 4

hi,i'm 16 and would love to chat with your son justin he can email me at chrgrs2008@aim.com. i feel bad when he poured his soul out to jessica and when he asked  if jessica loved him.do you have custody of tyler? i hope so.

Hi Todd,

I truly believe that if you make your children your number one priority you will never be sorry.  I also believe that when you do that, everything else will fall into place.  Someone will come along when you least expect it but your children should get as much attention as you can spare so they can grow up whole and healthy.  They need you now.  Love them as hard as you can because they will be grown before you know it.  They are innocent victims in all this and need your full attention.  I was so glad to see that you seem to be on that track on the last show.  God bless you and your sons and thank God Jessica's ex-husband got custody of the other boy.  Maybe he will have a chance now.  Keep on truckin' and know you and your boys are being prayed for.  Also, maybe if you could tell them you were wrong in the way you handled the situation then they won't grow up to do the same things.  God bless.

 

I am from the town that these two are from, are we best friends? No--but I have seen how they interact with their children and they are good parents. They do right by their children and give them anything they want and need.  We all need to remember that real life can't be depicted on "the Dr Phil house" --we saw these two in a very heated environment that only brought the worst of them out-when truly they are good people.  I mean really can you honestly say you "like" your spouse every hour of every day---some people just weren't meant to be. It's just that though they weren't meant to be husband and wife, but being mom and dad is a different story. Just because they can't work things out and their life seems a total mess doesn' t mean they can't parent. Maybe these 2 should cease being "husband and wife" but they do not deserve the scrutiny they are getting on here as "mom and dad". They are good parents and have each done a wonderful job raising their boys.

HI,

 

What needs to be done is the get yourself together for the boys and yourself.  Those boys need you as a parent, and positive role model.  You are doing it !!!  Jessica is just a self serving, self centered person, and you all are better without her !!!!

Todd you have done the best of what you were dealt with and came out pretty good.  The boys are thriving, you've lost weight and are looking good and feeling better.  You will find a woman who is worthy of you and your boys.  It may take a while, but you will find her and she will only make the bonds you have even stronger and better.

I have nothing but admiration, belief in what you are doing, and faith in your new family.

May God Bless each and every one of you !!! I will pray things keep getting better from here on out.

 

I do not think many viewers were surprised this marriage did not work. Tood's behavior is

typical of a man who had an affair with Jessica to start the relationship.

 

If the cameras had followed them on the plane trip home, I am sure Todd stayed on her the

entire trip. Todd cannot help himself. Todd may not have physically abused her, but he has destroyed her with emotional and verbal abuse. Bumps and bruses heal in a week or two. The mental bruises and injuries may never fully heal.

 

I do hope the entire family, including Jessica, is getting counseling.

 

Are you CRAZY!!  I don't think anyone who has an eight year old child talking about suicide deserves a clapping hand for parenting.  If you consider them "wonderful parents", I sure hope you don't have children of your own.

 

You are right on with this one.

 

I enjoy reading Todd's posts,  particularly the ones he types in 3rd person like we don't know who he is - duh !  

 

Todd :  you are the one that just got a huge dose of reality from all of the fallout from appearing on national TV.  Now make something positive out of it and stop your angry tirades and foul mouthed bullying ways.    

 

Certainly you must have considered the fact that you would open both yourself, Jessica, and your kids up to public scrutiny by asking to go on stage before the world with your reprehensible behavior. 

 

 You put it all out there for all the world to see buddy ......  and now you don't like some people's opinions do ya ?  You are the one that needs to grow up and be a good parent !  Set an example your children can be proud of and learn from.  

Like they say "Can't judge unless you have walked in the shoes". I am not defending her, but I see where she is coming from. Unless you have lived in a relationship like this you can't judge. I judged my Dad for years cause he cheated on my mom and we haven't talked for years. I now understand why he did what he did, wrong as it was, and I should never have judged. I am sure you have skeletons in your closet to my dear. Difference is you are too afraid to expose them.

I would send them holy water ,rosaries and  a bible but  the reason the stones are flying is the 8 year old threatened suicide which Dr. Phil said is almost non-existant at that age, and Justin had to ask if Jessica ever loved him................... Just like a fish does not know water, T and J were unaware of their behavior because they were in the middle of it. It might just take a 2 -ton brick to wake some people up to what they are doing . I would say to Justin, right now your Mom isn't able to give much and like Dr. Phil said ,she will try and reconnect in the future when she is able. Right now, don't worry about trying to get water from a stone - it just doesn't work yet. I hope things go really well for these boys. Please don't quote the bible to eliminate free speech on the messageboards - they came to the show to learn and the messageboards are a continuation of their learning . SOmetimes the opinions get quite strong but you have to take them with a grain of salt, too. I know you had the best intentions with your posting. ANd it is a good point for us to remember. The show will help many of us understand our own relationships better. :>) Thanks for your opinion.. :>)

     I mean really can you honestly say you "like" your spouse every hour of every day---

 

 

 

                Ya Huh... Yep Yep Yep... Totally adore the man 24/7
