(Original Air Date: 10/26/06) Backstabbing takes many forms –- lying, spreading gossip and fueling nasty rumors. Dr. Phil’s guests say the ultimate betrayal didn’t come from a stranger, but from their own flesh and blood! Stacy accuses her younger sister, Christy, of being a traitor. She says Christy reported her and her husband to Child Protective Services for allegedly having child porn on the family computer! Christy sticks to her story, and vows to help put her sister and brother-in-law in jail. How far will she go? Stacy’s 16-year-old daughter claims her Aunt Christy is a liar, and says she’s ruining their family. Can these two sisters overcome the conflict between them, or is their relationship at the point of no return? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Christy looked like she hates everyone

Christy just looked at everyoen with such hatred you could cut it with a knife. If I was her husband, I wouldn't contradict her. Even Dr. Phil got that look when he pointed out problems with what she was saying and doing.

People have pointed out how the niece looked and acted. The reason was the aunt was looking at her the same way. The aunt is casuing the stress and pain, not her mother and father.

Quote From: bethmurman

Something VERY similar happened to me.  My sister contacted me to tell me her 4 yr old daughter had been touched by our father.  Things started flooding back to me and "weird things" that had always plagued me started making sense.  My parents kept foster children.  I started making calls to foster kids that abruptly left our house after years of living with us even after they were out of foster care.  My suspicions were confirmed.  My sister's story changed from her daughter lied to she never told me that.  It was horrible.  Another sister who had told me my father fondled her suddenly changed her story as well.  When faced with a total disruption of your life and the embarrassment and raw emotions of dealing with abuse happens, people become very weak.   I too had to push to get something done about it and eventually they found almost 50 children that he abused.  My whole family rallied around him and I became the vindictive sister who was out to get my father & sister.   My father was convicted of 5 felonies and went to prison.  To this day I have not spoken to them, my sister still denies that she ever told me about her daughter and they all think I paid off the judge, prosecutors & police.   The bottom line.  I gave up my entire family to save children & I would do it all over again.  I don't think Cristy is crazy.  I genuinely feel that something was on that computer, I think Stacie is in denial.   There may not be sexual abuse, but I feel there is abuse going on and I admire Christy for doing something about it.  I don't think she should have taken a chance on ruining her sister's career but I do feel she did the right thing by reporting it.   It takes alot of courage and soul searching to do what Christy did.   I guess we'll all find out who is telling the truth when the polygraph comes back but I have a sneaky suspicion Christy will pass!!!  I am VERY proud of her. (and no I have never met the woman nor do I know her)
You gave up your entire family to turn in your father and you probably did save a lot of future children from abuse.  You definitely did the right thing.  The difference between you and Christy is that when you turned your dad in, the police found 50 children that he had already abused!!!  When Christy turned in her brother in law and her sister, there was no evidence found at all.  Not just that, but Christy did not just turn in her brother in law for child abuse, but tried to ruin her sister's life, too and turned her in for fraud.  Not everyone who turns in a family member is doing the same thing you did.  There are people who are really brave and turn in family members because of actual evidence, and others who just have mental issues who want to hurt their family for some reason.

Quote From: pbennetti

I AM GLAD TO SEE EVERYONE ELSE THINKS THIS LADY IS NUTS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH I AGREE THAT SHE SHOULD SUE HER AND I  DONT EVEN BELIEVE IN LAWSUITS, BUT THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO PAY FOR THE HARM SHE HAS DONE TO THIS FAMILY.
I totally agree that this lady is mentally unbalanced. She should sue for deflimation of character. But still, in small towns it is hard to have people stop talking, but I am sure that Stacy's friends know the truth. I'd cut her out of my life for good. They don't need that stress. What a nut. I have never seen so much vendictive behavior, and my husband is a prosecutor of our small town of 20,000. and he was the State  District attorney for Texas for 13 years. Believe me, those people know how to investigate and sort truth from lies.

Backstabbing sisters-lie detector test .

   So many have mentioned that  Christy  believes what she is saying --therefore the truth may not come out even with a lie detector test .     First of all -- the people who administer these tests --if they are highly qualified, such as the ones that Dr. Phil has on his show -- can   tell if there is deception.

    Another point --IF Stacy takes a test and  FAILS --then obviously- Christy is telling the truth.    In any case , there  really isn't any reason for the truth not to come out.

Backstabbing Sisters

I watched the Backstabbing Sisters and the show where the mother-in-law is trying to break up her daughter's marriage and accused her son-in-law of molesting his own daughter.  He subsequently took a lie detector test which bore out his protests of innocence.

 

I feel frustrated and angry that it appears a lot of people now a days are with spite and mean-spiritedness, accusing others of unspeakable things with apparent impunity because "we have to protect the children".  It was very obvious to me that both these women had an axe to grind and pretended to have concerns for "the children" when actually they had hidden agendas.  I feel that Dr. Phil treated these women with kid gloves and I was surprised that he didn't expose them for what they are.  I cannot begin to imagine how horrible it was for the son-in-law and the sister and her family to have to defend themselves.  I do not think it right that people can resort to saying damaging and destroying things like those two women have done with impunity.

Wow!

I believe that Christy truly believes what she is alleging.  I wonder how much of her tenacity has to do with her allegations of abuse by her own parents.  If I thought a family member was abusing thier own or anyone else's children  I would be involved also.  In fact my broom would be turbocharged and would leave Christy's in the dust. 

 

However Christy's behavior by ignoring the investigation reports smacks to me of a little child sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming "la, la, la, la, I don't hear you".    Her fraud allegations are malicious and criminal in my opinion.   Her position as a passionate advocate for abused children is ruined.

 

Pornography  is a pernicious and damaging thing.  It should not be ignored.  I hope Stacie does not blindly ignore it and gives it the attention it needs.

 

I will pray for this fractured family.

06/07 Backstabbing Sisters

Quote From: awardcyw

     Wow, I think this sister has gone totally overboard. She ranted and raved about investigating this case but then when it was done and nothing came of it, she freaked! Perhaps she was WRONG!!! It really sounds like there was a thorough investigation done by the authorities and Christy is just mad that her rantings weren't founded. She needs to chill out and if she wants to help these children how about giving them a loving, rational, and dependable extended family in case they need help later on...
I believe Dr Phil would not allow these parents to go home if he felt they were abusing their children... he would be the first to send them to the courthouse if they were child predators.... .....just my thoughts....

So much has already been said... so I have nothing to add.

I just wanted to agree with the above poster  stating that Dr. Phil would NOT let this go if he thought there was any truth to Christy's accusations.

Sister act

I grew up in a very abusive family myself with a mother that would LIE to this day LIE yes lie about beating me,I always thought little girls where treated as a princess..LOL NOT in my case, and I was supposely the only girl, thats a whole nother story in it's own! 

I do NOT belive this Christy-she and her sister have something much deeper then what their telling. I think Christy has something against her sister that happen long ago and not saying...IMP.

Take it or leave it.

what happened?

I took my boys to the movies and had to leave before the end of the show.... what happened with the meddling sister and her offer to take the lie detector test?  What did it reveal?

 

I agree that if indeed there was child porn then something had to be done, but if the guy had porn on his computer that is between he and his wife and none of the sisters business.

 

Sounds like she needs "drama" in her life and since she makes up stuff or sensationalizes things she needs some help.

 

If it turns out the allegations were false and there was no credibility to her charges, I saw a little bit about where the one sister said that the detectives found nothing and that they have been cleared.... if that is the case I hope that the sister sues the crap out of the other one for ruining her career and slandering her husbands name!!

 

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED IN THE END!!!!

 

Thanks

munchhausen's

If she would avail herself to it, Christy should see a qualified neuropsychologist or psychiatrist.  She displays many of the behaviors associated with a form of munchausen's disease.  That is, she thrives on "creating" problems where none exist so as to gain notariety and attention.
