Dr. Phil continues his work with The Dr. Phil Family. Gene and Myra’s marriage has become a war zone, with ugly fights involving name-calling, spitting and throwing objects. Their children were caught in the middle and wrote to Dr. Phil for a family intervention. To find out if their broken marriage has a chance and to heal the resentment between all the family members, they move into The Dr. Phil House. First, Dr. Phil arranges for Myra to meet Lee, a pregnant self-proclaimed mistress in a long-term relationship with a married man. Will hearing another perspective help Myra let go of her anger and bitterness over Gene’s adulterous past? Next, since Gene admits he treats women like sexual objects, Dr. Phil wants to set him straight. Three successful women arrive at the house, determined to change Gene’s views about the opposite sex. After listening to them speak, Gene breaks down and says he wants to become a better husband. But do the ladies think he’s sincere? Gene and Myra’s three adult children, Melissa, Edwin and Eugene, join them in the house. After trying to have secret conversations off camera, Melissa gets a wake-up call when Dr. Phil knocks on the door. Then, in an exercise designed to get to the root of their resentments for each other, each family member takes a turn in the “hot seat” while the others open up about what they hate about them. Guess which person can’t take the criticism and wants to leave, then talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

What goes around..

The wife can't forgive the husband for his past affairs.  Ok, when she met him, she was the other woman.  She stated that if she had known that his wife was pregnant, she would not have gotten involved with him.  So what is the problem?  It is 20yr. later, and all she has had is heart ache and problems from day one.  I don't know why women get involved with cheating ass men and think that he will treat them different.  All you can count on is him getting another mistress to cheat with when you become the women at home.

05/07 A Dr. Phil Family on Fire: House Intervention, Part 2

Quote From: brooke4857

 

 

 FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW WHY THE WORD 'HATE' WAS PASSED AROUND IN THAT EXCERCISE, IS BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE TOLD TO DO, '' TELL EACH OTHER WHAT YOU ''HATE'' THE MOST ABOUT THEM'' , AND WE HAD TO SIT THERE AND HEAR EACH OTHER WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTIONS. SO FOR THOSE WHO SIT THERE AND JUDGE, IT WAS A WAY FOR US TO COMMUNICATE WHAT WE FELT AND BE HEARD, NOTHING MORE.

Oh yes, it was  A LOT more than a way for you to communicate.

I dont care who told you what.  A mother and father have no business or right to speak so casually about all the things their children do that they "hate".  NOTHING can justify or condone that.  Even the good doc "telling you to".  (Which I personally question whether he actually used that specific word~ dont remember one way or other but perhaps its on the show write up)

What you are missing in your defending is that you all ACTUALLY have feelings of HATE towards each other!  That is the whole point!  It is not normal, natural, healthy, or productive to have these feelings of hate.  And that you ALL spoke so easily about it shows me (among quite a few other things) that it is your WORDS you all need to keep in check.

WAY more than a simple excercise. That "simple excercise" spoke volumes about ALL of you!  Every single member of this family needs to WATCH THEIR MOUTHS!

05/07 A Dr. Phil Family on Fire: House Intervention, Part 2

Quote From: lstichte

Can we assume since this week's Dr. Phil House episode is about stage mothers that this dysfunctional family is not going to make a return? 

Although I watched, I really couldn't understand why they were even at the House. They seem completely wrapped up in their own drama without an honest  need to change anything.  Some people are perfectly comfortable in their own misery, and this family seems to have taken it to an art form.

I'm hoping that Dr. Phil did throw them out and not give them the atttention that the daughter thinks she deserves. When Dr. Phil called her on the sabotage, I was hoping it would be all over right then.

Spend time with a family who is truly interested in being part of the process.
I was confused about the new Dr. Phil House too.

Perhaps the board monitors can let us know if-when there will be any other shows with this family?

You Sure That Book Wasn't Judges?

Quote From: shelly_80

No,  women are not "from a cheaper cut."  Where on earth did you come up with that? Someone once told me to "READ BETWEEN THE WHITE SPACE" I suggest you do the same.  I said, concidering what God used to create women we are not above or below men, WE ARE EQUAL!  I decicided to do a little research myself and this is what I found.

 

"And the LORD God caused a sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman ..." Genesis 2:21-22

  

No need for correction, I found my facts straight out of the Bible.  Like I said before,  ONLY THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD CAN / WILL AGREE WITH ME.  APPARENTLY YOU DON'T.  Furthermore, It's a free country, I can post where ever I choose. My posts are not limited to the religious boards.  Not to mention if it were in the "religious boards" I'm sure they would agree.

Let's be realistic here.  What you would be saying if you were honest is that those who don't agree with YOUR version of religion don't believe in God.  How self-righteous are you?  You keep referring to the bible, but which one?  The King James version no doubt.  By the way, "version" is the correct word.  If you're so anxious to get pious with everyone, then explain why the many heroes of the bible were bloodthirsty savages.  What is the real reason so many books of the bible were removed?  And finally, who wrote the bible, because it certainly wasn't God.

 

It is a free country, but no thanks to people like you who would get rid of religious freedom and freedom of speech.  You would only allow freedom to agree with you.  My comment about the board in place for religious discussion is that the staff of Dr. Phil have placed it there for a reason.  There have also been many times which they have told posters such as you to keep your religion to the religious boards.  So, if you have an issue with that, take it up with Dr. Phil's staff.

thank you

Quote From: shetypes

I agree, I felt the 3 women was a waste of air time and no benefit to anyone?

They annoyed me.  He cried, that is not easy for most men?  No tears?  thats physical not emotional, so disturbing to use women to tear into someone when what they need is

sense, smarts and what a man is suppose to be to his wife?

The emotional environment of the household/home is from both parents!

both of them ahs contributed to the emotional turmoil and obviously thier children has followed suit to what they learned?

Thier sons: do not let your Mother influence your choices in women, how you treat them or what kind of husband and father you will be?  Break that chain of distructive behavior please?

The only daughter: let the negative be growing where it was planted?  Do you need to add to it?

Let your life be above the turmoil and a better example to your own children and brothers?

He was 'Dad' except when you complained about his role as husband to your Mom, then he was step-father?  You showed you need to get real also?

good im not the only one who thought that wasnt needed. still love you dr.phil .

dr phil family

Quote From: niptuckchick

These people have no idea what LOVE is. They're both extremely immature. Please, Dr Phil.. 'Shut er down'...

I think their relationship and marriage is beyond repair! It's apparent she cant trust him, so why try to make it work. They use foul language like it's the "in" thing to do. They are disrespectful to each other. It seems like they are just staying together because of the 'comfort of having someone'

 

I also thought having the 3 women come in and talk to him was a waste of time. Same with the pregnant lady that is "the other woman" thats another story in itself!

He doesn't want to *beeping* "hear about *beeping* it", i.e. he doesn't want to hear about what he did wrong.  He wants to know he's *beeping* forgiven after he was still talking to the lady online?  The couple seem a tad *beeping* melodramatic, he thinks she wants to see his *beeping* blood on the ground and that will make it *beeping* better?  She should just *beeping* leave him since he isn't sorry for what he did and he just wants everyone to *beeping* forget it so he can live in his fake world and be loved for it.  So *beeping* forget him and move on with  a real *beeping* normal healthy life (this isn't "normal" by any means).

 

BTW I normally don't talk in *beep* speak, but after watching this show I can't help myself after every *beep* second *beeping* word was *beeped* out.  Only stupid people swear since they have no other way of expressing themselves with real words.
