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.

It's NOT her fault!

Quote From: sabrinaspell12

Not that what he is doing is right. it's not, but she shouldn't of cheated on him in the first place. when she made the decision to sleep with someone else she should of left than. sounds like the foolishness didn't start til she had the affairs. she also needs to get real. it takes two to make it or break it.

I can't believe you're putting ANY blame on Jennifer! That makes no sense whatsoever! That was a very long time ago. And many, *many* people have been cheated on way in the past *without* going absolutely flat-out crazy like Jeffrey has! Give me a break!

 

He's a control freak; he's completely crazy! He SO creeps me out! I don't think Jennifer should ever be near him again--he's WAY over the edge! I've never seen anyone on Dr. Phil's show--or any other show--who creeps me out as much as this guy. IF he even gets to see his children (& he probably will), he should definitely be supervised--by someone who can make sure he doesn't try to grab the kids & run. Poor kids! Blaming it on Jennifer is so wrong! We all make mistakes; we're all human. It's NOT her fault! Dr. Phil said that & I completely agree.

 

This is a guy who will do ANYTHING to feed his obsession. If he doesn't do anything (& I pray he doesn't) to put himself in jail, he should definitely be committed. There's something terribly wrong with this man! And he doesn't even know it! He has no idea how nuts he is! That's why he's so dangerous! Even her lawyers agreed that she had to leave her house to get away from Jeffrey. I've been in therapy (after my dad died), and, believe me, from what I know, docs are NOT eager to label someone "crazy." But his doctor SAID he was crazy!

 

Jennifer, you & your children are in my thoughts & prayers. Please know that you have a lot of people praying for you! {{{hug}}} I wish I could help you more. If you ever need to just talk, contact me at joyjoybinks43@yahoo. com (but take the space out before "com"). That's my alternate email address--not my main one, but I'll check it.

 

Jeffrey is obviously completely out of it--crazy! I don't know if even Creative Care can help Jeffrey; he's still manipulating & lying. He's crazy enough to think she's having an affair...when would she have time for that with all he's putting her through?? He's INSANE! For those of you who don't get it, JEFFREY IS COMPLETELY INSANE! He's a creep who isn't normal! I'm just so glad that Jennifer has Dr. Phil & her lawyer's help--and now a judge. Thank God that he's been exposed for the insane weirdo that he is.

 

And I just saw that he's in jail. Great!! That's exactly where he should be! I just hope he stays there for a very, very long time! Total nutcase!

I mean come on here? Dr.Phils ratings cant be suffering can they? Todays show, is that true, real and unscripted??? Would that really happen?? Im sorry but even that seems way too staged and fake. No one can possibly be that insane especially when a camera is on him 24/7.

 

That makes no sense and makes him look way worse then before! I have a hard time swallowing this show.....

 

Well see....

Wait a second. You're suggesting that the show was unreal? What is hard for  you to believe? That this man was so controlling? He admitted to being obsessed with her, to the point of irrationality. That he locked his wife in the basement? He admits this while attempting to blame her for being "physical" with him. Have you looked at her, this tiny woman and him? That he stalked her? The police picked him up across the street after he was served with papers. So, the court system, the judge, both lawyers, the private investigator, the police, Jennifer, the babysitter, the show's producers, the taxi cab drivers and the couselors at the Center are all in conspiracy to boost ratings?

Yes, it really happens.

Hearing about this story, seeing the drama unfold has impressed upon me how fortunate I am to have escaped a similar man. Yes, a man can be that obssessive. Yes, a man can be that irrational. Yes, a man can be that insane.
Jeffery has centered his life around his wife and losing her, he sees as the end of his life. He will do ANYTHING to keep her. Rational thought does not enter into it. Of course it doesn't make sense to a normal, sane person.

He is also a victim.

She cheated on him.  She messes with his head.  Who the heck goes to Dr. Phil to get help.  He caused more trouble than there was before.  I don't care how sane your are,  if your wife goes on Dr, Phil to divorce you, then Dr. Phil get's one of his buddies to say your dangerous, it is going to mess with your mind.  It seemed to me that she had no plans of working out the marriage no matter what he did.  Why did she have 3 kids with this guy if he was so crazy.  What would Dr. Phil do if his wife was posting bikini pics on myspace, hugging on men who she just met 5 minutes before?

HEY EVERYONE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OK EVERYONE...I HAVE WATCHED EACH EPISODE OF THIS LUNATIC AND HIS WIFE.  I AM NOT SAYING THAT HE IS DEFINITELY A THREAT AND A PSYCH...BUT I THINK THE WIFE IS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS DRAMA BY PURPOSEFULLY FEEDING INFORMATION TO JEFFERY.  LIKE, HOW DID HE KNOW WHEN SHE WAS IN IOWA THAT SHE HAD ATTENDED AN "EVENT" WITH A FRIEND, AND HOW DID HE KNOW WHERE TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE HER POSING WITH OTHER MEN?  I AM NOT BLAMING HER FOR HIS BEHAVIOR, I AM JUST SIMPLY STATING THAT I BELIEVE SHE IS CONTRIBUTING TO IT IN SMALL WAYS.  WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU FEED THE MONSTER?  I THINK SHE HAS A LITTLE GROWING UP TO DO AS WELL...STOP PLAYING THE GAME AND GET YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT JEN!

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

I have one more thing to say.... I dont think that such a serious situation as this one should have been aired or even gone through a process of filming.  I believe that when someone's life, a familys well being is at stake, that it should not be exploited.  Delicate situations like this should be handled with more sensitivity to all involved.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Oh my god. After watching this last episode and hearing he's in jail, I feel so bad for Jennifer. That man was a complete and utter 'nutbar'! I truly believe that if he would have continued on this path, he would have eventually harmed Jennifer and/or himself and maybe his children. No one should be able to treat another human being this way. We need stronger laws for this sort of thing. He should go straight from jail to a mental facility where he should be kept for a very, very long time. Jeffrey doesn't live in a place you and I call reality!

 

Thank you Dr. Phil, for helping this woman and her family. Good luck to Jennifer and her kids!

I knew Ihe looked familiar

I just realized when they showed that news piece why Jeffrey looked familiar to me...I'm from the DC area and I remember when they were looking for him...I don't think anyone had any idea he was this bad though. All I can say is that I wish Jen well, I hope she can move on, and I hope she and her children remain safe. In addition to what Dr. Phil has already done for her, I know that there are a lot of other resources available in our area. I hope Jeffrey gets the help he so badly needs and that he finally leaves Jennifer alone. Good luck Jennifer!

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Dr. Phil,

While she may feel that distance may help her in her flight from Jeff. It's best for her to call a local Woman's Shelter or Safe Home. There, she can be protected, recieve counseling, get referals, financial aid, and help with housing. She'll be able to take her children with her and they too will be able to participate in therapy. There are Shelters in every State and the confidentiality of the Shelters will make it that much harder for Jeff to find her. I wish her well in her long, hard struggle to come. The rewards are so worth the journey.

 

Shelley
