(Original Air Date: 01/29/07) Everyone wants to be loved, but what happens when being the object of someone's affection turns creepy or even fatal? Celebrities are not the only targets – stalkers can be found in any neighborhood and town. Michelle says her ex-boyfriend, Melvin, is obsessed with her, and she fears for her life. Melvin admits he constantly thinks about Michelle and can't live without her in his life, but he says he gets mixed messages from her. Find out the extremes Melvin has gone to in his relationship with Michelle, and why his actions prevented him from coming to Los Angeles for the taping of the show. And, why does Dr. Phil tell Michelle she's playing with fire? Then, Katrina has been infatuated with rap star, Jay-Z, for the last three years. She sends him 200 e-mails a day, has called him over 300 times and has even tried to befriend his best friend and sister. She is convinced that if Jay-Z met her, he would want to be with her, but is she willing to risk jail time just to get close to him? And, meet a Hollywood actress who was stalked on the big screen … and then in real life. Why does she fear her stalker may strike again? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Help!

This is so close to home.  I dated a guy for a year and a half.  We broke up once and that day he chased me down in a car with his son in the backseat.  The night prior he kicked my son's clothes out of the house, threw his medical supplies against the door which prompted me to leave my own house.  When I returned, I thought he had gone but I found him sitting in the dark in my bathroom.  I ran up the stairs and locked my son and myself in my bedroom.  He called me 87 times the day he chased me down.  He has since somehow erased the tape I made of those messages. He also called frontier airlines to find out about my travel itinerary - this was after he showed up on my front porch crying in front of his son last July.

Weeks later he claimed he was getting help and was invovled in church and the Bible, etc.  I slowly let him back in.  Well, by this July I broke up with him again because of the same behaviors.  He showed up at my door crying.  He threatened to kill himself.  He kept calling, emailing and texting me.  At one point  on August 10 he left horrific messages because I changed the locks on the door of MY house.  He then got upset because I wouldnt list my house with him - he is a realtor.  After all attempts had been made to physically contact me (including to my family members) he then went to my ex husband and his girlfriend who hate me to give them lies about me.   So then the girlfriend makes a false report to child protective services, she questions my son about this stalker, then she calls and makes a false report about my sister to her place of employment. 

He then decides to go to a person who is suing my former employer pro se to tell him lies about me.  Since then he has posted slanderous statements about me on various blogsites and his parents have been contacted and supposedly they have put him into a few mental health facilities but he lies to them and he gets out and his parents support him.  His brother was convicted of some crimes that was precipitated by him stalking his ex girlfriend (stealing her mail, chasing her down).  Keep in mind, my stalker has 4 charges against him by an ex of stalking - he was acquitted in all of them. 

I have no idea what to do because he knows the boundaries of the law so well.  He showed up at my son's daycare - but he brought his son to make it look appropriate.  My son said "Mommy, I hid so he wouldnt see me."  Pathetic.

Erotomania!

 

 

 

 

                                    I think Katrina has what is called erotomania.  It's a psychological disorder.  What happens is the person it affects has a delusional belief that they are loved by another when in reality they are not.  Typically this disorder affects women who's lives have been disappointing.  Their prey can be anyone, but primarily is a celebrity of any kind.  They go to great lengths to please their target with the false belief that that person loves them in return.  Katrina is a classic example.  All the signs are here of a fabricated relationship and that she has already crossed the line from Neurotic fatansies into criminal behavior.  She definitely needs help!
