Dr. Phil checks back in with some memorable guests. Last time, Keri accused her ex-husband, Ken’s, fiancée of being a mean, evil step-monster to her three kids. Keri says she took three Xanax before the show to combat her nervousness, and as a result, she was too overwhelmed to get her point across. She says she was portrayed as a bitter, jealous ex-wife, and she was so angry, you won't believe what she did when she got home! Now, seven months have passed, and the parties return to set the record straight! Why is Keri still upset with Ken? Ken and his new wife, Cari, say they just want some peace for the sake of the kids. So why has Ken called the police on Keri five times? Is Ken hiding money? Plus, find out what Ken says he found on their son’s cell phone that scared the heck out of him. The drama continues as Dr. Phil tries to resolve this war of the exes once and for all. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

OMG!!!!

O.K. I never post on message boards but I feel the need to respond to this one. I am the ex-wife of a man who tries to convince everyone that he is a real sweetheart. We were married for 7 years. During those 7 hell filled years he cheated on me, talked bad to his superiors about me, neglected our child, and would miraculously lose his pay for a month at a time to where I would have to beg for food. He is in the U.S. Army. We were always in a state of upheavel thanks to him. He eventually got discharged for non-compliance. We moved back home and it went downhill from there. He wouldn't work, he beat up my teenage son, he shot a litter of kittens etc. He was dangerous and I was in the process of leaving this crazed man. Well he decided to take a cooling off period and wanted to leave for a while to get his head on straight. He told me he couldn't handle marriage and responsibility. He said he couldn't cope with the fact our son was handicapped and that he needed some breathing room. At the time our son was 5 years old. Well he moved to over 1300 miles away. He would call and say he was straightening his act up and he would come back after the first of the year. He left a month before christmas. Well by February he still hadn't come back and I called him and told him it was time to either come back or cut it all loose. I was financially sinking because I had to still count him as being there even though he wasn't and any public assistance I could have gotten was turned down because when they would run his SS# it was coming up that he was employed and making good money. My mother had to try and help while I was trying to find a job that would work with my son's numorous Dr. appoinments. Well in march of that year he decided he wanted to see his son and that he wanted some of the income tax we got back. I was told by a lawyer I only had to give him a fourth of it because he as good as abandoned us. Well he showed up and guess what he brought wife #2 with him. WE WERE STILL MARRIED!!!!!!!! He proceeded to tell us that we would have to share him. NOT!!!! She didn't know about me and I hadn't known about her. He tried to come out of it blaming us. Well i filed for divorce and he left with her. she decided to remarry him and make it legal. And for the next 9 years there was no contact from him. We had to get wage withholding for the child support He went into hiding I had no contact information for him. There was nothing!!! In the meantime my son's health was getting worse and they told me he would possibly need a liver transplant if they couldn't get his disorder in remission. I tried in vain to find him because he was a match. He blocked every effort I could try. Needless to say we didn't need his liver. Well this past summer wife #2 come out of the wood work and contacts me. She too put up with the identical hell I did. She had apologized for her part if any. He left her with the same excuse that he used on me. He has now found wife #3. We have contact information for him and he finally after 9 years made the call that was long over due. But guess what? The first thing he done was threaten me for not getting ahold of him because of our son's health problems. He ranted and raved for her benifit. he has posted on myspace that he was always a loving father and spouse and that me and ex#2 were always the bad ones that we took his kids away from him. Well i am happy to say that Ex#2 has called his bluff and decided to give him and the misses a taste of their own medicine nad is giving their 2 children to him for 6 months out of the year and forcing him to be a hands on father. He is fighting her saying that he doesn't have a big enough place for them etc. She said tough and they are on their way to him as we speak. As for my son I would do the same to him but my child is 14 and is out of remission so we must start the battle for his life again. Will I tell his father? I don't know, Every time I have spoke to him in the last few months it has been hate and anger and I don't have that kind of energy to deal with him right now. There are more important things than exes. But I do feel for Keri because sometimes the husband has a way of making people believe that they are wonderful and turn everyone against their ex wives. It has happened in my case. He has told everyonre that he has had contact all along and I am just making up stories. The only thing is I do have a 22 year old son that remembers him getting beat up by this man and him never calling or contacting us. So before you judge anyone look at the bigger picture. It isn't always what it seems.

I THINK YOU ARE READING MORE INTO THIS

Quote From: ppppppp

How is your story the same? This guys wife left him. Court papers say he is up to date with support. He

wants to spend time with his kids so much, he has police enforce the order.

This ex-wife is bitter(hell hath no fury)and she is full of it.

Is she a nurse with a job or is she on welfare?

On and on about the new wifes ring, house, cars.

You are better than her, don't empathize just because you both are divorced.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED.

I DON'T EMPATHIZE WITH BULLY'S

AND

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO, YOU PURCHASE THE LITTLE EXTRAS THAT YOUR SUPPORT DOES NOT COVER....THAT'S WHAT MY STEP CHILDREN REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS.

CURRENTLY, MY SITUATION IS EQUAL TO THAT OF THE DAD'S. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE AND I WOULD RATHER SEE MY CHILDREN LOOKING BACK AND HAPPY WITH MY PERFORMANCE RATHER THAN SAYING 'I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE( FILL IN THE BLANK)"

BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND RESPONSE....YOU MUST HAVE MANY GOOD FRIENDS.

10/22 Exes at War

Quote From: susanashe

She kept accusing him of not paying support and it was clear to anyone that knows this, the support went to pay the state back for them supporting her lazy butt sicne she must not work. Her claims of non support payments are totally unfounded and Dr Phil had the proof of it. She gets money from the state, she isnt entitled to it from the ex husband too.

She needs to take a ton more xanax to help her anger issues - if the ex husband has what he has so WHAT ? She left him - now she wants it all ? She is clearly jealous of the new wife.

This show was sent here, In Norway( Nthern Europe) just last week, January 08. To me, it seemed that in the bottom of their whole quarrel, was the fact that Ken and his wife had a lavish (?) life-style, while they claimed they could not afford to pay for small expenses with his kids.

It looked as if Dr Phil did not want to go to the bottom of this. He did not ask Ken one question about how could he have all those things, if he did not earn more than he claimed he did. Wanting your kids to have what they have the right to, is not the same as being jealous. Jelousy is often used as an excuse for not sharing. Getting around legal issues, is not the same as being right morally. It seemed obvious to me that Ken and his wife were performing foul play, that his real outcome was much larger than what it looked like.

No wonder he said: I want this to stop. I don't understand why DrPhil asupported him in this.

my husband ex-wife

I've married my husband almost two years ago. We both have sole custody of our children now, but we always heard from the kids that his ex was badmouthing us and my children.

My stepdaughter is only 9 years old and she would come home and ask why her mom is saying stuffs about us. Her mom left for her native country Mexico recently, and she wants to have my stepdaughter for visit in summer, but I feel conflicted about it because of her past attitude.

She would tell her 9 year old about her own relationship and when she calls she doesn't even ask if her daughter is doing well at school and instead she tells her what kind of dog and car she has bought and about the guy she is dating and so on.My husband says she is the mother no matter what. What about 9 year old's feeling? I'm frustrated with his cluelessness and his ignorance. I think his ignorance is what made him marry his first wife. I'm starting to wonder his character a little.
