Topic : 08/27 Bully Dads

Social Services, as far as I'm concerned, has caused more family breakups than any other reason I can think of. CPS isn't the answer to every family problem. Pull the kids out and so what? Put them in Foster Care? Sure, like that will help.

You need to keep your family-wrecking organization OUT of things.

She is EXACTLY where the blame starts. It's clear she NEVER  taught her son manners OR respect for his elders.

The bottom line is this. Social Services, the government and all these "experts" need to get the hell OUT of the home and give the power to parent BACK to parents.

This episode  has brought me to tears while at work, no child no matter what they do needs to be treated in that manner. He is really demented and sick to find so many excuses for himself acting in this manner. I hope she leaves him and if not that her children are taken away from her she doesn't deserve them. If that child cuts that mans throat on day, be very clear it is in self denfense, he is being abused to his limits and one day he will stand up for himself if nobody else does.       I am praying for those children.

It's about time that someone says something about Shannon.  She sat there and atagonized him.  She is so smug.  Shannon if you read these, just know this.  ONE-He  should NEVER act the way he is.  He should NEVER threaten or abuse a child.  Just as well though, YOU SHOULD NEVER instigate him the way you did.  If you won't punish your children when they misbehave then you shouldn't stop their father from punishing them.. I throughly don't believe that a stepparent shouldn't punish a stepchild.  I'm not even in the home and I can tell you that as you are pulling out of the driveway to go to class, your son is flipping him off.  HOW DARE YOU ALLOW YOUR SON TO DISRESPECT HIS FATHER..  HOW DARE YOU ABUSE YOUR HUSBAND THAT WAY....SHOWING YOUR DAUGHTERS THAT IT"S OK  TO VERBALLY AND EMOTIONALY ABUSE THEIR SPOUSE>>.You are in complete denial that you need help as well.  I know this from experiance.  I was in an abusive relationship and was gun shy.  HOWEVER, you are projecting that onto your children.  They are treating, the only man willing to father them,  the way I can imagine you were treated by your ex.  So here you go,,, Your ex isn't showing them how to treat their spouse, YOU ARE!!!!!!    Your son needs to know that if he disrespects his dad while your gone then he will have to deal with you when you return..  OK  your son won't take out the garbage while your gone, then when you get home, even at midnight, wake him up and make him do it.  ONE WAY OR ANOTHER YOUR SON DOES NEED TO LEARN RESPECT.. If you won't allow his dad to do it then at LEAST YOU SHOULD..

I can see that this family as a whole has fallen apart.  When you actually live in that kind of situation it becomes habit and learned.  I myself went through this with my oldest and now she respects her step father and treats him with respect.  All also think that what comes around goes around.  On the show they stated they were together for 3 years I believe.  Hum, sound like learned behavior to me.

Shannon, get out!  Run for the hills honey and don`t look back.  Your kids come first no matter what.  Any man with a temper like that toward any child no matter what the kids says is bad.

Okay, I'm watching this episode for the 2nd time; Dr. Phil and CPS needs to intervene in this family.   NOW!    The children are not protected from either mother or father.

What can we do?
