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

It does seem inconceivable that people would be willing to come on national television and expose their despicable way of life on television…but its real.

Many people give the impression to be shocked by this family, and they shouldn‘t. This and much much worse IS going on in homes across America today. Its REALITY. Further I would say that many of us out here that claim to be so “astonished” by this family are not as oblivious to how much this does go on in our society, as we appear. Many turn their backs, not wanting to become “involved”

Initially I couldn’t understand why this family was even in the Dr. Phil House, since it was clear to me that Jessica had no real interest in salvaging her marriage and family, however, the more I read other people’s reviews and the more I think about this family (especially the boys It seems like America does need a wake up call.

I really have to question Dr. Phil on this too. On the final day he tells these parent they are basically on the borderline of abusing these kids. DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS WAS WAY BEYOND BOARDERLINE???? An 8 year old suicidal child??? A step-son crying out for love from Jessica (although she hasn’t shown nor proven that she is anything close to being a mother)??? I was shocked Justin even referred to her as his mom! The verbal and physical abuse, the restraining orders. Jessica living in a separate apartment??? The disrespect. HELLOOOO. These kids were suffering.

Where I’m from, a child verbalizing thoughts of suicide is enough to call Child Protective Services. Both Jessica and Todd needed a harsh reality check. Take these kids OUT of the equation, and lets see how these adults will smarten themselves out, when CPS IS involved. Its time we stop focusing so much on the adults and really help the children in these situations. Serious disciplinary action was well overdue in this case.

I believe she knows she lying, she knows she full of crap, and she intentionally creates drama, and she wanted "to get out of that fizzling relationship" in order to find another sucker. ..

I also feel that she cries fabricated  tears and tells fabricated stories.

...I also believe that all she wanted was a free ticket to a talk show for a vacation, solely because she felt ENTITLED  to it.

(Look up: Antisocial Personality Disorder and look up Borderline personality Disorder)

She is very ill and needs help to manage her mental disorders, so she doesn't continue on this path of self destruction and the destruction of others..

I have to say I am very glad to see that Todd, has let go of Jessica.  People like her will always cheat on the person they are suppose to love and the ones that get hurt the most are the children. 

I believe Todd has not always been vocal and mean.  I think Jessica pushed him to the limit.  On this last show you could really see a changed Todd.

I do not believe Jessica should have any of her kids and only visitation.  It looked to me like she has very poor judgement when it comes to the kids.  For some reason she sees nothing wrong with sleeping around on her spouse.  I feel kinda sorry for the guy she is sleeping with now because she will either do the same to him or she already is cheating on him.  Women and men like her never change.  Maybe if it happened only once you might have a chance with alot of help but 2 (that you know of) in 9 years there is no hope for !!!!

Todd I really believe has a chance for a new and happy life with his kids. At some point I am sure there is someone out there that will be faithful to him and bring happness into his and his kids life.

Good luck to you Todd and don't look back just look forward.

(by the way you have 2 very wonderful kids)

BE HAPPY

...how many of us are sitting here today berating these parents and never stopping to reflect on what may be happening in our own homes and with our own relationships. Stones...glass houses?

Just a thought.
