The incredible drama continues involving Jeffrey, an obsessive husband who won’t let go of his wife, Jennifer. After the last show, Jeffrey is on his way back to the treatment facility, when his anger gets the best of him, and he jumps out of the car and goes on the run. He finally calls his therapist from a taxi cab, but soon after is on the loose again. After four hours and a frenzy of phone calls with Dr. Phil show producers, see what Jeffrey demands. With the stress and pressure getting the best of her, Jennifer sits down with Dr. Phil to discuss their next step. In a hurried panic, Jennifer heads home and is shocked by what she finds when she walks in the front door. She takes her kids and flees to her mother’s house. Even though she’s in a safe place, why does she say she still lives in fear? Then, Jennifer’s attorney files papers and meets Jeffrey in front of a judge. Will Jeffrey be able to comply with the judge's orders? And, Jeffrey resumes talk with the Dr. Phil staff. What is he asking for? Jeffrey’s behavior continues to shock and mystify Jennifer and leaves her with only one choice. Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Quote From: whiskeygirl

I think that jail is the best place for jeffery right now, hes away from his wife and kids so they can at least feel safe for a little while and maybe this experence will make him wake up and smell the coffee so to speak and maybe his wife can move on without the fear of him being down the street.  Im glad to see that she is moving opn with her plans to leave him before he ends up killing her or the kids.  Way to go Dr. phil for stepping up for her and helping her any way u can.

After 11 years of torment I think Jen deserved a night out of her prison to enjoy herself.  She was actually in a setting, in a social environment away from Jeffrey.  Just because you have your picture made in a social setting with someone of the opposite sex does NOT mean you are a cheater!!!!!!  Maybe she was visiting her brother since she was forced to go back home & away from the freak???  On minimal hours of sleep I might add!  Everyone assumes it was a boyfriend????  Dr. Phil never said how many male siblings, cousins, uncles or whatever Jen had.  Don't be so judgemental without the facts!  Maybe she hadn't seen male relatives in years due to his imprisonment!!!!  My heart broke for her mother!

 

  He held her so financially hostage, I am quite sure she couldn't even grocery shop.

HATS OFF TO HER....Her idiot husband wrote Dr. Phil.  Dr. Phil gave her the help she so desperately needed.....I am amazed she took it this long.  I reside in Texas & I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday either, to quote Dr. Phil. 

 

If Jeffrey's brothers are hunters & have an arsenal of guns, even if Jeffrey doesn't hunt, I am sure he is educated & loon enough to turn her into the next Nicole Simpson.  Let's pray that doesn't happen. 

 

IN DEFENSE OF GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA:  We don't compromise, you shouldn't either....

 

If guns kill people then.........

Pencils miss spel words........ 

cars make people drive drunk....................

spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat

 

If I were Jen, I'd exercise my right, since she is in danger, to take a concealed handgun class in firearms.  I know in Texas you may carry a concealed weapon going through proper legal channels to do so.  In her case, the police may not be able to respond fast enough if he threatens she or her kids.

My thoughts are with you

Jennifer,

 

I've never posted a message to a talk show board like this, but your show moved me to tears.  I watched your story and want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children.  My hope for you is that your remain safe and keep up your courage throughout your ordeal.  You will no doubt save and inspire women who are going through a situation like yours.

Quote From: binastb42

Jennifer has the right to see anyone! Jeffrey has been served and has a divorce. Jen. needs to see friends, family, another man (if/when she is ready), play with her kids, have a job.....You know....a normal life.

 

She is entitled to this life and a life that is free from him and fear!!

No.  No she doesn't.  geez....

Well, you're wrong.

Quote From: gwarrior6

I thought the reason for her "smiling" was that she FINALLY found the help to deal with this psycho.  That can give you a lot of confidence.  Maybe she was anxious, being filmed can make you nervous.  You can't tell someone's personality just by expressions.  Remember, JEFF was the one who wrote to Dr. Phil trying to fix HER.  This was the one chance she had to actually get away from him. 

I always hate hearing when people want to blame the victim for the assailant's outrageous behavior.  You don't blame a victim for a murderer's actions and you don't blame a woman if she's raped even if she's supposedly "asking for it" whatever the heck that's supposed to mean.  No one desserves this treatment, I don't care if she was contributing to it or not. 

She was smiling because she likes the attention.  Everyone in an uproar.  A big powerful man like Dr. Phil being her "Hero" and she's probably hoping she can steal him from Robin.  I hope Robin is watching, because that Jennifer is one manipulative, conniving,  and agenda'd little girl.

that is not love

It is kind of odd that dr phil, with his Ph.d did not mention that Jeffrey does not love his wife.  Love is always kind, never gets mad, always longsuffering, always believes, always trusts, and never fails.  Therefore, "obsessive love" is something taht is a made up term.  And also, no one can make you angry.  Anger is from within--not from outside.  Hopefully Dr. Phil will read this and learn a few things.....

LeAvE!!!!!

Just wanna say to Jennifer, that you need to GO NOW!  Don't look back!!!  Don't have any regrets.  Protect yourself and your children.  Just know that there are people there that are willing to help.  Keep the faith, and remember what you are fighting for!!! 

 

I wish you all the luck!

They let her go into that house with HIM there??

I am a devoted Dr Phil fan and I was VERY concerned for Jennifer's well being when she returned to VA. Then they let her go into the house with HIM and the kids were there???  UGH....Unless there was more going on behind the scenes then we saw, that situation could have ended up very differently.

 

I am a father of three grown daughters and Jeffery is damn scary even to me. I hope and pray that Jennifer and her kids never have to deal with Jeffery again.  I hope someone keeps tabs on his every move when he cons his way out of jail.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Quote From: manofgoods

Get that woman out of that marriage NOW! And get full custody of her children as well so that she wouldn't have to put up with his crap anymore! I just knew in my heart he hasn't changed. People like him make me so sick!
That won't be easy to do with what you see everyday in the news unless he does something to be arrested for he will have rights to see the children and if he is obsessed he will not stop even with a protection order in place .Or a divorce .She will have her hands full ,unless he really gets help.I would bet the number of spouses who kill under those same restrictions are pretty high.
