Topic : 12/26 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

I was watching from start to finish Part 1 that is. What I saw irritated the crap out of me. It wasn't a marriage between the man and the women it was a marriage between the women, husband and best friend! She needs to butt out becasue the man can't get one word in edge wise with Amy there at all. Who are we or her to say that he hasn't changed? Also the man is getting attacked and then the wife says "Well I haven't seen the old side of him till right now"..hahahaha, are you serious? He just got done being completly attacted and of course he is human so of course he will be deffensive. Grow a brain they are usefull. I just can't wait till tomorrow night! Thank you!

I once had a boyfriend who was soo angry with me that he wanted me to spend the night with him.  The look in his eyes and thinking that I did not want to leave my children (and grandkids) motherless, I chose to leave...Just the actions on his part and what he was saying scared me!!!  The next day, I was told that he commited suicide....what he gonna take me with him...thank God that my kids and I will never know.

The firefighter is dodging the balls...every time Dr Phil asks him a question, he stops, analysis the question, and if it is not in his best interest, he will "NOT RECALL!!"  I just don't understand why she is taking him back.  If she does not care for her children, turn them over to her parents!!  They need parents, not people acting like teenagers with pimples (their insecurities popping out)!!!

Of what I know about sociopaths, Brandon seems to fit the bill.  Though I am not a trained professional, gut instincts and "feelings" are usually red flags for trouble ahead.  He eerily reminds me of Scott Peterson and strongly caution Amy for her safety and the safety of her children.  I would be concerned that Brandon is the primary male influence in the lives of his children.  I would hate to see more kids grow up thinking this behavior is acceptable.  I'm not convinced of Brandon's sincerity.  Be cautious of gut instincts and red flags.

     I am responding to the show on 9-12, Brandon and Amy.  This woman obviously has such low self esteem.  Does she think life will not move forward if she gets rid of this moron?  Yes, it will be hard, as single motherhood isn't anything I would wish upon anyone - but knowing it first hand, it's much more healthy than this insane world she lives now.  She has plenty of family/friends whom will love, support and help her, as she moves forward in to the next chapter of her life, without the loser.  But in order she do so, she must grow a back-bone, admit she has low self-esteem, seek counseling, and trust herself enough to move on and be strong.  Life is too short - she's going to end up 50, and look back and wonder where her life has gone.  Dr. Phil, help her!!  Too much damage has been done to try and get this marriage straightend out. 

Good luck!

Single mom... and loving that I'm not in her shoes!

Since yesterday's show ended on such a big drinking note.....I'm going to track how many guest use the excuse "we were drinking"...for any problem they may have.  Just as a test.  I've never understood the "joy" of drinking. 

Here's a drinking story for you.  I ran into a convenience store in Austin recently, it was minutes before noon, and I realized there were tons of people in this store and everyone had a 12 pack of beer (or more).  I didn't think you could sell alcohol on Sunday, so I asked the clerk and she said after 12:00 you could buy beer in Texas.  There were literally a dozen people just waiting on the clock to strike 12 to buy their precious beer....    

Todays show:  not sure what to think of these folks yet, I did hear the "we were drinking" excuse at least once.  But it seems there are WAY too many people in this marriage.
