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.

Obessive Love: On The Run

Unfortunately this happens a lot. Even more than we think. I am so happy the Dr. Phil and his company has helped one family like Jennifer's. What a horror to go through, the PTSD from all of this will linger for years, even if she gets the counseling, her heart is broken. She knows what that is like. Her faith has been tested, and also her trust. It is going to take a very long time for Jennifer to get over all of this. It is so nice that she has her Mom. So nice that because of Dr. Phil and his company and showing pretty explicit things, "how to do it yourself". Keep yourself protected, learn the best way to leave and be safe. One thing I have to add. I notice that Dr. Phil and Comp doesn't mention the Lord much. But that is public TV. I just know he is a Christian Man and his family. God is the Higher Power in all of this. I pray Jennifer will prevail and not be fooled by that psychotic husband of hers, hopefully by now her ex.

AMEN>.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Quote From: killerb255

...who said aryan1972 is making excuses?

There's a difference between explanation and justification (making excuses).

Explanation: reason why someone does what they do.

Justification: reason why someone is supposedly not responsible for what they do.

There is no justification for Jeffrey's actions. None, whatsoever. However, there are plenty of possible explanations.

That is exactly what I have been trying to say. Her actions helped put her in this situation. Now I don't understand or agree at all with the crazy vasectomy story, the cameras or any of the other stuff but as far as the way he is acting right now...he is scared and going through a ton of emotions at once. He just doesn't know how to handle them. He is panicing and sometimes that causes people to react thoughlessly and impulsively.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Quote From: dlb824

I think Jeffrey is dangerous, but I also think Jennifer LOVES the drama. Why else would she let someone take pictures of her with other men, and post on the website. She knew Jeffrey would see it and would add to the drama. I think she needs counseling just as much as he does, just for different reasons. I am surprised Dr. Phil has not seen nor commented on her actions. She LOVES the attention and drama.

I wouldnt say that she LOVES the drama. I would say that she is just wrapped up in it and that is why Dr. Phil told her to calm down after Jeffrey took off, to try and get her to understand that he WANTED her to get wrapped up in it.

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!

Yes she should get out now with her kids. He is completely nuts but she is not far behind. God help the kids.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Quote From: lightkeeper41

Jeffrey wrote to the show, not Jennifer. He believed Dr Phil would admonish her and tell her shame on her and you need to be with your husband. When he didn't get what he wanted, he went more ballistic.

...which is, not surprising, what people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder tend to do.

I'm not saying whether or not Jeffrey does, but I wouldn't be surprised if that would be added to a long list of diagnoses that would probably also include Paranoid Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Panic Disorder.

05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

Quote From: aryan1972

Actually, I wouldn't have been in this position cause I wouldn't cheat on my husband to begin with. Maybe if he was so crazy, she should have divorced him prior to cheating. Furthermore, maybe if you were one of those women that have been cheated on, you might understand a little more how it might feel. Again, he is way out of line and definately unpredictable and even possibly a threat, but she played a role in this as well.

He was like that before she cheated.

Oops.

So you'd be in that position even if you were the perfect spouse. And we'll agree that its your fault.

Great Ending

I am so glad things turned out ok. I really hope that durring his court date, they do the right thing. I cant believe it though! I NEVER in my life heard anything like it and wow! I actually live near their old home and I never met him, but have seen him before the show aired and he seemed normal. I knew he looked familiar when I saw the first show. He once came into my old job to get a buisness suite a year ago. I guess you cant judge a book by its cover.

Quote From: think2

Be mentally and emotionally abused and terrorized for 11 years then get back to us on what does or does not compute in your head. Then we'll all sit back and tell you what you should have done and judge you for it.

As far as her having no where to go, did I miss someone saying her mothers house had a force field around it that was programed to keep him out?

Hey, no need to get freekin' nasty on me.... I am the type of person that wouldn't let anyone tell me where to go or what to do 6 months into a relationship. I GET that she was "terrorized" for 11 years...where was she year one? Year two? Year three? And as for judging someone, I'm writing down my OPINIONS on this message board. They were on TV. I'm discussing the situation. Geesh.

cops wont do anything until he has done something

Quote From: grandma66

The more I see of this relationship the more worried I become. We have seen how it evolved, from a wedding, turning into a sickness and how it has turned her into a nervous, nervous person. BUT I don't think enough is being done to protect her. The cops won"t until he harms her.......... then it will be too late. A piece of paper like a restraining order is WORTHLESS. We the audiance and Dr. Phil and his staff have seen the ugly reality and she has to live it. If he is put in jail it will do no good as too many are let out and then somebody FORGOT to let the wife know. Meanwhile she ends up as a body at the morgue. Jeffery is a sick sick man. I for one would give anything to know why and how he got this way. Change her telephone number, her email address and any other he can get his hands on. HE WILL NOT STOP. DR. PHIL ARE YOU LISTENING.???????

This frightens me, too. So many times someone goes berkserk and kills others, himself, etc. Then people look for previous signs that may have been missed. Why? What can one do before something really happens? The police have their hands tied. They cannot do anything, if the person has not harmed anyone or broken the law. What difference do signs make when they can't be stopped before it is too late? This is a perfect example!

Dr. Phil, I hope you can help them!
