Quote From: jadajb ENZA - if anybody had a toxic influence on the relationship between Alex and Kim, it was you! Not that Kim didn't do her share of the damage, but throughout your television appearnces, you were ranting and raving, basically ending up screaming. Everything was me, me, me, me, me. How good you were to Alex. If you have spend so much time and effort on Alex's and Kim's problems, what about your own family? Or could it be that you really do NOT have control over them and that Alex was an easy, impressionable target? Instead of trying to heal the rift between mother and daughter, you drove a wedge between them which makes me question your motives. And all that backstabbing and conniving conversations - that absolutely were not adult behaviour. Rather lack thereof.
KIM - straighten your life out. Stop being so needy and stop parading men through your children's lives. If you have a grudge against your mother, talk to her about it and get over it woman. You owe your children something better than you offer them now.
JEANETTE- Time to move away dear. Listening to other people's converstations, bearing grudges and carry this I'm the victim attitude is not what one expect from an adult of your age. If the living arrangements doesn't suit you, you better make the choice. The way things are now, you really are not contributing to a healthy relationship between a mother and her children ion that house.
ALEX - You have a chance of making a lasting change in your life. Grab it with both hands. That kind of luck don't come around twice in one lifetime. Create a life for yourself like the one you craved for when you made the wrong choices, with the one difference, now you know different, you know better and you know there are people like doctor Phil who cares.

IN regrds to the grandma and the way she was eavesdropping...this behavior is clearly showing signs that Jeanette is experiencing some degree of mental instability...I mean, like either senility or alzheimers. This behavior I see reminds me very muchof my mother when her alzheimers started to kick in...sad to see, but I fear Jeanette is showing signs of this.....
The screaming between Kim and Enza reminds me of the fights Iused to have with my mother, we used to go at it like wild animals! To me, it brought back memories of how my mother and I reacted to eachother...we were toxic to eachother, and although now I miss her (she's still alive, but her mind is gone), I know my life is so much easier to live....
Sometimes people are just not meant to be together, better to have Enza away from this family and have Enza look after her own lot...
In regards to the dads absence.... he would have to be Enzas' brother, right? Perhaps he is as loopy as his sister? I dont know, but the family dynamics are odd and I feel this should have been made known to us.... I feel it was/is relevant to whats been happening...
I have only seen part 1 and 2, so far, hope tomorrow they show us more...I seriously want to do some damage to Enza... and I hate violence...

Alex was an out-of-control 14-year-old who was stealing, running away, doing drugs and prostituting herself to older men when her family turned her in to Dr. Phil. After a tumultuous stay in The Dr. Phil House, Alex said goodbye to her mother, Kim, her grandmother, Jeanette, and her aunt, Enza, and headed to a therapeutic academy to be in a healthy learning environment. Six weeks have passed since Alex left and her family returned home without her. How has she adjusted to her new structured environment? Have Kim, Jeanette and Enza put aside their judgments and accusations, and come together once and for all? As Kim prepares for her daughter’s return, has she turned around the toxic family environment that contributed to Alex’s unhealthy behavior? Talk about the show here.
