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: momakababe

Mike thank you so much! 

 

I just think education is SO important  to get people to recognize abuse & to act appropriately when they see it. 

 

I also think that education for our sons is just vital to stopping abuse there's just so many influences in the world that shape their attitudes etc.  I'd seen a really great web site on this & as soon as I find it I'll bring it back to you so we can perhaps link it up to your site?  

 

I am off for the holiday weekend & I won't be back until Tuesday again.  I won't forget though I promise.   :)   

Mike, 

 

I have just read your messaged and it really scared me.   Are you people professionals.  Are you taking it upon yourselfs to treat others.   What if someone is taking your advise, instead of going to a professional, and kills themselfs  I can read the excitement in you and other messages.

Be very, very careful in what you do.

the purpose of the message board

Be very, very careful in what you do. 

is to provide information and support. 

 

No fear-mongering, victim blaming or shaming.  All tactics of abusers.  Supporting the targeted individual and not enabling the abuser.  There has been WAY too much of that here on these show boards.

 

Hotline phone numbers, lists of books and websites for the purpose of education and giving women (for the most part) a place to share their experiences.  Not one of us who is interested in participating in such a forum would ever be so arrogant as to believe that we have all the answers nor would we suggest that a person not turn to the professionals for the guidance they might need.  Those of us who are involved in the genesis of this board are survivors of or witnesses to abuse.

 

Your caution, sir, is misdirected as has been the greatest majority of your posts.  I am sorry you have failed to understand.

 

peace

Jeffery is nuts and Jennifer needs to realize she started all this by having the affair.

TO:  Adamtk and Dorie,

 

Thanks for your post. I believe my opinion to your message is irelevant .  Just like to say it is nice to have people on this site who come to rational conclusions.  Hope you will stay and contrubute to this site. There have been others here who have left due to some on this site who choose to belittle those with another opinion.

Quote From: never_again

well, maybe a little bashing from me here...you need to hunt up my post that i made sometime around the 16th or 17th.  that may get a little insight into some of your "mistakes made".  not everyone was as lucky and fortunate as you....count your blessing for getting out....

funny how posing in a picture now is "snuggling up"  and yet again...blame the victim!  i don't understand why....and your ideas and opinions are just that...yours.  i have my own.  i was in that situation for years.  crazy people make you do crazy things.....you should invest your 2 cents in reading up and understanding a little more perhaps imo.

TO:  My2centsworth

 

Thanks for your message . I have just gotten around to reading it.  I took the compassion you felt in your message to show you have understanding for the need of all no matter of the situation.  You are a very rare and must be a wonderful person who can forgive.

 

You will find that because your opinion doesn't fall in line with some on this site you will be attacked.

 

What is confussion that those on this site are trying to form something to help people also show they have no compassion for some.  A person can not help without compassion in their heart.

Quote From: dorie2

fortunately, I'm not a man that hates woman.  I am a woman who was with a man who had to put up with a lying manipulative woman such as this.  They can play the victim in a minute, and most everyone will believe them.  They can't lie and manipulate all their lives without consequences.  I just hate to be them when all the consequences come back on them...maybe all at once.

Thanks for your post. I found your experience very interesting.  It dosen't matter if I agree or not.  It is refreshing to hear a different side of this situation.  Isn't that what rational people desire - both sides of the story.

 

Good luck, you will need it when your post is read here by those with a closed, one track mind.

 

Best wishes  Also, sorry your pardor was subjected to this type of abuse.  (Women are capable of abusing men.

 

Thanks

Protect the children in this, too

We hear many times of these deranged parents killing the kids, because they can't keep hold of the mother  (It usually is the man that does it).

When my daughter was a teen, she had an obsessive boyfriend, who was controlling just like this husband.  He threatened to kill her, her family and the dog when she broke up with him.  For months afterward, he would have friends call her, and neighbors that he knew, to spy on her.  The only way she could get away from him was to go into the Army, and after she got out (many years ago), she lived on the east coast (we are on the west coast).  He was still trying to contact her.

Years later, he came to my husband's place of business, and asked for forgiveness.  He had married someone else, and said he realized what a jerk he was, and asked for our forgiveness.  He invited us to his home, about 8 miles from where we live/lived, to see his wife, and two daughters, and that he really had moved on.

Then we kept getting emails from him, telling us that we were like the ideal parents to him, and he wanted to stay in our lives.  It has been a year now, since his last contact, and he has finally given up on us.

That was our only experience with an obsessive person, but it wasn't a pleasant one. 

I hope Jennifer and the kids will be kept safe.
