Topic : 10/09 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp Newlyweds, Part 4

believe me, it wasnt a ladies night out, it was 3 woman that went out to dinner for one womans birthday, thats it, nothing more,nothing less, and its very hard to  eat dinner with cameras watching from every angle,  so where is the wrong it that ?

Hi, Karla:

 

I felt compelled to register and "speak" to you from one southern blondie to another.  I watched the Man Camp series and just want you to know that the average people out here in the world "get it", and you have nothing to be embarrassed about anymore.  Yes, you had your problems.  You and John have obviously had the wake-up call you needed and I believe you and John have a lot of love and compassion for one another.  The alcohol just got in the way and messed everything up.  You should both be proud of yourselves for facing the pain of the past.  I bet it feels great to move forward with your life!  Best wishes to you both!  -Mom of 3 boys, happily married for 12 years (with ups and downs like most people)

Dr Phil did address that the women are provking. He told Karla she was an alcoholic drug addict on more than one occation. He told Danielle she was provoking Jack and needed a better plan because she would loose. He made Kim watch the video of arguing with Jim in the backyard and went over that with her. Provoking an arguement and exploding after you have been treated like crap for a week are not quite as serious as beating your wife to "feel better" as Jack put it. Alcoholism on Karlas part was an entire show. After the show she has been involved in councilling for herself and their marriage. I think that Man Camp is a good name for this show. No one has the right to put their hands on another person.

Good people get in abusive relationships all the time. Jim has issues from his past that make him who he is today. Now he is dealing with that. Kim has issues too. Kim said all her life people have talked down to her calling her fat and stupid. That is why she thought nothing of it when Jim did it too. Finally she realized she doesnt deserve it. When Jim saw how bad it really hurt her he realized he didnt want to make her feel like that. Kim is a "fixer". Always trying to make everyone else better and neglecting her own needs. My mother is like Kim. She sets back and gets her feelings hurt and when she cant take anymore she blows up. I think it is because she believes the things that people say to her. Kim you are beautiful and have a huge heart. Pay no attention to people that only see the outside and judge by that. God is the only one who can judge and God wants all of his children to be happy and confident. He is our father, as a mother you know what you want for your children, thats what our father wants for us. Jim loves you and he understands how you feel now. I hope you two can continue what you have learned and have the best life you imagine. God bless you and good luck!

ALl 3 of these couples need to get a divorce.  None of them are ready to be in any sort of relationship -- they are all unhealthy and fake relationships and they are better off apart.  It's terrible that they have kids, but at least it might get them out of some of the 'drama'.  So tired and boring -- no need to drag this one out into several episodes.  ANd why is it called man camp, when they are all obviously married to drama-queen, manipulative women.  It should have been titled something a little more fair.  This is coming from a woman. 

i hate to  admit it , but i was actually married to kim 15 years ,towards the end of our marriage kim and i were never together intercousaly lol so she either artificially inseminated herself with a turkey baster, or its jims kid period do the math they were together before i even divorced her ,i figured she was just trying to set herself up for a nice lil check for the next 18 years, shes evil like that screw you over anyway she can complete loser like the rest of them,ive been through plenty of crap i dont go around acting like a jerkoff,blaming my passed thats the bigest joke of all......and yes people i tryed my hardest to stay for the kids, but with kim well you know.....

 

my greatest satisfaction in all of this , is KNOWING i already have what there all crying they want so bwahahaha kim, comes around goes around...
