Topic : 05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

You've made an interesting and valid point. I never looked at it in that way. Why would they allow him to use computers during his stay, that's like getting a drug of choice while in rehab. EXCELLENT POINT.

Lashawnna

is locked up which isn't going to happen unless he hurts her, she is going to be killed.  We just had 2 murders in the area where I live, both domestic violence.    These abusers never change, I know, I was married to one. 

 I can't understand why Dr. Phil didn't tell her to leave him in the first show;  he wanted better TV ratings at the expense of this poor woman?  He doesn't seem like that kind of man.   I fail to see the logic in dragging this out.  Jennifer is clearly way beyond distressed and Jefferey is truly over the edge.  Who is taking care of those kids?

Jennifer doesn't have a chance unless she gets far away from him.  Someplace he cannnot find her.

My take on this is that there was a need to let the events unfold as per their normal course in order for Jeffrey to end up where he was told he would end up. 

I think a lot of this was to build the case so that Jennifer can get a divorce and ensure that Jeffrey is held accountable for his actions. 

And I think the most important element of this show was to demonstrate how difficult it is to navigate these shoals within the mental health and legal systems for example: as insane as Jeffrey is no one can just have him locked up  - this is a reality (and to think otherwise is naïve). 

Jeffrey was never serious (in my opinion) about treatment or anything as Dr. Phil said he was just trying to manipulate this situation like he has manipulated every situation for the past 10 years and what Dr. Phil did was pull the almighty manipulation on Jeffrey in order to get to the place where Jeffreys behaviour is documented and can be used in a court of law. 

My biggest concern with this story is the ease in which firearms can be acquired in the US .. given that reality I think Jennifers life is in danger Jeffrey appears to me to be the kind of guy who thinks If I cant have her .. no one can have her.

SHe needs to leave Virgina change her name and the kids as well. He will NOT change. He may fool people but he will not Change one bit. He is sick. Needs to be in a mental  hospital for extensive therapy. I worry about Jen. SHe seems like a very loving person and I hate to see a person go thru this. Jen, You tried to make thigns work but remember what Dr Phil said to you. ITS NOT YOUR FAULT. Don't blame yourself he is a sick man.

Chin up Jen Dr Phil will help you thru this

POOR JENNIFER LIVES IN VIRGINIA. LAWS ARE NOT GOOD FOR PROTECTING PEOPLE FROM MENTALLY ILL STALKERS IN VIRGINIA. SHE SHOULD RELOCATE TO ANOTHER STATE FOR GOOD. I HOPE THAT HER ATTORNEY GETS HER AWAY BEFORE HE KILLS HER.

 MENTAL ILLNESS AND VIOLENCE ARE A BIG ISSUE HERE IN VIRGINIA. CONSIDER THE VA TECH TRAGEDY.

MY NIECE, DENORA HILL, WAS MURDERED IN VIRGINIA A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. HER BI-POLAR ESTRANGED X BOYFRIEND COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER. HE HAD NEVER HANDLED A GUN UNTIL A FRIDAY IN DECEMBER 05 AND ON MONDAY HE SHOT HER 8 TIMES AND KILLED HIMSELF. SHE HAD PLANS TO RELOCATE AFTER HER SEMESTER WAS OVER AT UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND IN A FEW SHORT DAYS. SHE HAD SOMEONE FOLLOW HER HOME FROM WORK THAT TRAGIC DAY TO PROTECT HER BUT WAS AMBUSHED OUTSIDE HER OWN HOME. HER MOTHER IS PUSHING TO MAKE STALKING A FELONY AND IT SHOULD BE. STALKERS ARE TERRIFYING AND SHOULD BE HELD IF THEY HAVE A PATTERN OF VIOLENCE. I GUESS WITH DR PHIL AND THE HIGH PROFILE ATTORNEY THAT STRINGS WERE PULLED TO HOLD HIM WITHOUT BAIL BUT THIS IS UNUSUAL IN THESE KINDS OF SITUATIONS.

LAWS NEED TO CHANGE TO HOLD STALKERS IN JAIL WHEN A PATTERN OF VIOLENT BEHAVIOR EXISTS AND MENTAL ILLNESS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO SEE THAT SOMEONE IS PROTECTING THE VICTIMS. JEFFERY OBVIOUSLY WILL NEVER BE "BETTER" AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN DANGER. HIS EXPOSURE ON THE SHOW WILL ADD TO HIS INSTABILITY.

My take on this is that there was a need to let the events unfold as per their normal course in order for Jeffrey to end up where he was told he would end up.
