(Original Air Date: 03/02/07) Do you live on the edge without thinking about the consequences? Dr. Phil's first guest made headlines across America. Crowned Miss Nevada in October 2006, Katie Rees was dethroned two months later when pictures of her in compromising positions surfaced. Why does she say her punishment was unfair? Then, David admits that he used to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to have sex with another woman while his wife, Sara, slept. He got away with it for a while, until Sara woke up and went knocking on the other woman's door, catching David with his pants down. Should Sara give David another chance, or is David not ready to make a change? Dr. Phil has some tough questions for him. And, Kendra, 26, has been shoplifting since she was 9 years old. She's been to jail once and is currently on probation, but says she just can't stop stealing. You won't believe who taught her how to do this! Dr. Phil has a strong warning for this mother of three. Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

03/02 Caught in the Act

Quote From: ctnbmom

I really can't understand these young girls! Why can't they just behave! Her parents must be so disgusted! And it's not just this Katie Rees...but now this American Idol girl too! Why can't these young girls go out and have a good time without taking their clothes off. And I agree with the other poster who wrote that she will eventually take Hugh Heffner up on the Playboy spread. Her 15 minutes will be up and she'll need some new stint. Judging by her choice of clothing for the show, I don't doubt that we'll be seeing more of her flesh.
Maybe some people like to have a good time that way.

First you say she was a teenager,

Quote From: natasiadee

 

 

   I just want to say that katie may not be a role model and most of you may think she shouldn't be, but i have to say that her personal life was flashed all over national television.........for god sakes she was young...............and like everyone tells me when your a teenager your brain isn't fully developed to make rationalized decisions. SO she was a teen, and who would in thier right mind blame her for something that happend 3 maybe 5 years ago? it was her choice. Yes it does come back to her but you know what NOBODY is PERFECT. you find me one teenager who has not tried anything!(at all) that is absolutley perfect then i'll blame her for what she has done. BUT other then that these pageants are ridiculous and out right demeaning. I disagree with everything they stand for..........you can get scholorships someplace else like sports maybe even writing, anything. This just makes me frustrated, dr.phil you made it seem like her kissing another woman was just wrong.WELL maybe to some people it is, but that is her choice to kiss those women or do whatever she wants to them as long as they are conceseting adults then it is perfectly fine. as for the flashing of her boobs, i'm pretty sure alot of people have done, butit still is wrong. no matter what, everyone has something to hide.

 

then you say "as long as they are consenting adults". DrPhil didn't tell her it was wrong. He told her that if that's what she wanted to do, that's fine He told her that others who do that sort of thing don't go on to enter beauty pageants and not be forthright about their past ,so that they then get caught.

Just Desserts

It's about time that these young women learn that beauty is not just on the outside, but on the inside too. And beauty means self-respect and a life lived that others can aspire to. Both of the girls who entered Miss Nevada and Miss USA should not be allowed to hold these titles. The title holders are supposed to set examples for other young women - and the example these women have set is not one we want. Sure you can do anything you want - but if you don't thnk ahead to the future, don't expect everyone to make allowances for you. Didn't your parents teach you about the results of your actions? Seems like lil Miss Nevada is a bit spoiled and used to getting what she want cause 'she wants it'. I'm glad the pageant stood by this one and kept her out. I feel that Donald Trump was wrong and the other beauty queen should be gone as well.

But I think "foulish" says it better. No offence to the previous poster.

Miss Universe - socially constraint

"You chose your wardrobe" comment was very presumtuous in assuming it is related to her not being shy. If judging her by her dress is in any relation to how she "deserves" to be scrutanized by Dr. Phil and the media, it goes along the same lines as telling rape victims or victims of abuse that they "asked" for the attention in their choice of attire. Thus, linking dress with behaviour is a seemingly "funny" and reasonable question for Dr. Phil to ask, it also perpetuates notions that girls who decide what makes them happy and feel good is a yellow form-fitting dress are also automatically associated with "bad" behaviour ie. kissing the same sex in public under the influence of alcohol.

Dr. Phil needs to be careful in his phrases as they all have hidden notions regarding behaviour which essentially is, in my opinion, a way of keeping women "in check" and act accordingly as women are meant to portray the "good girl" silent/docile image, no matter what.

David...David, David, David....that guy is not invested in his marriage in the least. He thinks it's all a big joke and his wife sits there being the punchline...I'd just tell him to get the hell out, he can send his child support in the mail.

MALIGNANT SELF LOVE AND FAMILY SYSTEMS

If you are in a relationship with someone, you expect the relationship to grow and deepen over time; you expect a heart connection to be made and maintained.  You operate your life based on this expectation.  When your partner in the relationship does not or cannot make an emotional connection, the relationship becomes very painful.  Some of my favorite books which provide a great introduction into the subject of family systems and dysfunctions are: 

 

 

Emotional Blackmail:  When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward OR Why is it Always About You?  The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss

 

Malignant Self Love:  Narcissism Revisited by Sam Vaknin

 

Get Me Out of Here:  My Recovery From Borderline Personality Disorder by Rachel Reiland  

 

 

There are marriages and relationships that are so destructive that the only option is for a person to get out.  Get out with the little bit of sanity you may have remaining.  The decision to leave another person is never easy.  As painful as it may be, make a promise to yourself to leave so that you can begin a life of healing and recovery.  Leave so you can eventually learn to live a joyful and peaceful life. 

 

Hope it helps!
