Jeffrey and Jennifer's shocking and complicated story continues. During their 11-year marriage, Jeffrey has become so obsessed with Jennifer, he watches her every move. He has installed a GPS system in her car, taps her phone conversations, takes inappropriate pictures of her and watches her while she sleeps. Dr. Phil probes deep into Jeffrey's mind to find out why he acts the way he does. Is there any boundary Jeffrey won't cross when it comes to controlling his wife? Then, how are Jennifer and Jeffrey's three children being affected by the madness in the house? Their eldest child has been an eyewitness to his father's schemes. And, while Dr. Phil speaks one on one with Jennifer, Jeffrey has a total meltdown backstage, becoming physically ill. When Dr. Phil confronts him about his anxieties and offers a solution, will Jeffrey choose to make a change? Don’t miss the second part of this dramatic and emotional story, and find out if this family is on the path to healing or headed to divorce court. Join the discussion.

Obsessive Love

I was in a similar situation several years ago when I lived in Virginia, but luckily I wasn't married to the guy. Everything escalated to the point that he beat me and when I tried to break it off I was raped and a gun held to my head while he sat next to me and told me how he was going to kill me and there wasn't anyone to come to my rescue. I contacted the police and they wouldn't do anything without a witness. It was then I decided I had to get out of the area even though I loved where I was living. I returned to my hometown in Pennsylvania and believe it or not several years passed and he showed up on my mother's door. (long story short)

Jeff is over the top. I feel that Jennifer should be in fear of her life. I honestly believe that he will hurt her and their children, he will stop at nothing to keep her in his life.

Change is good!!!

Quote From: miloart

How many hostages do you know have the freedom to go out with other guys???? Wake up people!!!!!
As far as not having any money.....CAN YOU SAY "ALIMONY"...this is something the law makes a husband give an ex wife after they divorce. It' s obvious he can pay it. So if she is not gone it's because she likes having Jeff adore her not because she is "TRAPPED", and she likes having the freedom to come and go as she pleases. Which is apparently does.

Good for you! Get out of the situation and don't look back! I am sorry you are not getting any emotional support from family and friends over this. Not many people understand unless they have been in an abusive relationship. I truly believe it is possible that Jeff may be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).....(I left a message about it on this board). If that is the case, then there is a lot more involved that just selfish behavior and infidelity.

She needs to get out.

I just want to say to this young women that she needs to get out and soon. My sister's husband was very possessive and obsessive. He shot her in the face and killed her about 6 years ago. She left four children behind that my parents are now raising. This is so dangerous. She needs to move as far away from him as she can, buy a gun, and shoot him the first time he comes within a 100 feet of her. She has to survive and live for her children. He is sick and needs to be committed. If she is worried about money, she has had jobs in the past, she can get another one.

Questions about Jeffrey

I am interested why Jeffrey seems pleased with himself when he lists his offenses. What is that? Also, he seems proud of all the ingenius ways he has honed his spying techniques. How do you think he is justifying not provided for his whole family because if he restricts their income it restricts his wife. Is there even enough money to buy medical care for the children? Is the wife allowed to even take the kids to the doctor? It also crossed my mind that maybe for money they sell pictures of her on the internet, like the ones they agreed to show other people? There is more secrets here I think. He is clearly out of control and desperate to avoid reality and has no sense of self besides this activity.

Apples and Oranges

Quote From: johnglenda

Can you imagine living with someone who has cheated on you and makes your heart so broken you do crazy things. Its over the top yes but she is a cheater and a liar.

His mental "illness" goes FAR BEYOND being hurt by her dispicable cheating years prior! He is SCARY and he could be dangerous. There is nothing "normal" about the man, regardless of her bad actions.

Leopards do not change their spots.

While watching this show I could feel myself getting more agitated by the minute. It brought back memories of my abusive marriage. This abuse has scarred me for life. It took me 5 years to escape this relationship and after the divorce he stalked me for additional 5 years. He continued to create caos in my life by slashing my tires, throwing a concrete block thru my windshield, breaking into my home and hiding under my bed! My story is endless.

She needs help to get away from him before it's too late.

She didn't cause his MENTAL PROBLEMS

Quote From: johnglenda

Why? So she can go cheat on someone else and make them go crazy tooooooooo!!!!!!!!! When you cheat you cause the untrusting craziness!!!!!

"Untrusting craziness?" Is that what you call his sickness? He's SCARY. He's possibly dangerous...or very well will become dangerous. He is getting worse. His "crimes" are escalating. Her cheating has NOTHING to do with his mental illness. He needs no excuse. He is unhinged and needs help NOW. This doens't excuse her lousy behavior, but one did not cause the other. The fact alone that he was 30 and wanted a baby (19) tells MUCH about the type of "man" he is.....

You need a safe place

There are battered women's shelters everywhere. They are discreet and hidden. The husband will not be able to find her while she gets on her feet.
We have one called The Retreat on Long Island, NY.
(631)329-2200
Perhaps they can help her find one near her.
