Topic : 07/28 A Husband's Shocking Confessions

For those wondering how this woman could stay with such a disturbed person, don't judge until you've had first hand experience with someone like this.

I was married for 15 yrs to a very abusive man. He was a jekyl and hyde. I feel Wade is just like him. My husband was very controlling, very hot tempered, very jealous, just name it he was it. It's an awful life.

It took 2 yrs to get the divorce and many months of being scared, being stalked, being chased.

Michelle was accused of playing games!! What has he been doing for years? But when it happens to Wade he got extremely angry. This behavior is NOT post traumatic stress disorder..............................

that's just a label to a person that served in the army. Wade would be like this even if he didn't serve.

Michelle has to be very careful how she handles him.

I am now remarried for 9 yrs. Divorced 16 yrs. I try not to see my EX ever. When I do it brings back all the fears.

Be sensitive to Michelle. She needs your prayers.

 (I totally understand)

"Wade..., pry out information.  As Dr. Phil is concerned, that's his job - he's only doing what he's paid to do - don't we all?  He's doing nothing more than his job requires; if it was not on TV, he would be doing the same thing how many more Dr. Phil's are out there?  And I agree with him.  Yes she was emotionally unstable - thus the entire show.  I agree she has issues she could have left the situation.  Dr. Phil did not marry them or was involved with the events that lead up to this show.  People please stop blaming him; he is the one who is bringing this and all of his shows from darkness to light in order to help all parties, mostly the inocent kids.  Lets talk about Madame Detective, many women and men have become our own detectives when something in a relationship has gone wrong.  Yes Wade and his wife are in need of help, and because of this show they will get help or for those that are not on the show it gives leads to assistance, lets support our vets; war changes people in ways that we as cilivilations cannot know or cannot imagine.  First and for most the vet, then their family.  There needs to be more support groups, mostly for the vets.  They come from a world of pease and contentment, to be thrown into a world of chaos and then expected to go back in pease without what happened in their lives for the past years or months. 

Yes I've been there also.  I and my ex owned property, over 13 of them some two and four families in total we owned over 30 properties.  When we divorced I asked for one because our income matched (on paper only), this was a three bed one bath house that had a potental to build on.  All I wanted to do was move on with my life.  He had 12 other properties, to live on.  But because his mistriss was in the one I wanted, he told me he would see me dead before he gave me that property to me.  So we went to war, he even had his lawyer to try to apoint a lawyer for my son to make it so I could not afford to continue the fight.  Thank God, this didn't work. In the end I gained the property I wanted plus all others.  This was an act of
God intervention.

This show was very compelling.  A lot of the messages I read on the message board seem to be against MichelIe, or Wade, or both and, in some cases, even Jack Trimarco.  I think when we get angry and accuse people, we miss the big picture.  I don't like that Wade lied to his wife and cheated on her and she does not have to stay with him because he has emotional issues. But I do think that they, along with Dr. Phil, are providing us with an opportunity to understand why Michelle stays and why Wade lies, and maybe even kills.  I think by demonizing them, we only hurt ourselves because it enforces the idea that we should keep things a secret if society doesn't like it.  Secrets are what got Wade to where he is today.  The hope lies in exposing the secret by helping Wade, not punishing him.  Of course, if he has killed, I believe he needs to be removed from society because he will probably do it again.

I hope there will be a follow-up to this show.
