Topic : 07/29 A Husband’s Shocking Confessions, Part 2

Hi,

         well like you i'm so confused after seeing the first part of this show. Surely this guy can't have done all this stuff he says hes done and his wife is still with him???. I did wonder about the cutting of herself also. mmm wonder if thats a lie too..  if she is... then she needs serious help also appart from the husbands issues shes dealing with. looks like Dr Phil has his work cut out for him with these two mental cases. and where are the kids at  this point?? can you imagine the nightmare they are living with these parents. very sad. what about their jobs ? how could anybody hold down a  job with all this drama going on in their lives.Dr Phil i dont envy you you're job, you must go home at night with a blinding headache after dealing with this.

I have to respectfully disagree with you about the Multiple Personality Disorder idea, and suggest that some of the people on this board do some research before comparing Wade with the tragic people who have MPD. My mother has MPD, or DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). It's a very rare condition that only occurs in people with the ability to practice self-hypnosis, and is caused by severe, prolonged abuse, neglect and other trauma. In my mother's case, she was an unwanted child and her family treated her like a piece of trash. She was their personal punching bag and even a source of exploitative income, as they would prostitute her to pedophiles for cash. Ever read "A Child Called It?" My mom's story was very similar, the main difference being that she can dissociate and that boy could not.

People don't just randomly develop MPD/DID. You can't be born with it. People with the disorder are not "evil," as someone else on here suggested. They're just very sad people. Actually, it's very rare for an MPD/DID to commit a crime (though not unheard of). And as for the answering without fidgeting, eye movement and total certainty, that sounds more like a Compulsive Liar to me. He probably has some sort of Psychopathic/Sociopathic Disorder. His total lack of emotion was so unnerving, it didn't remind me at all of the DID/MPD people I know. Those poor people have suffered so much that they're practically overflowing with emotion.

So please folks, do some research before you start talking about this stuff. It's bad enough that Hollywood spreads the ignorance around! The only people out there who truly fit the definition of 'evil' are the Sociopaths/Psychopaths (essentially the same thing with slight differences). They are the ones who lack empathy for others, manipulate, lie, cheat and steal, and in the end believe they did the right thing. They can't be treated with drugs and they manipulate any attempts at therapy. They are essentially untreatable. By contrast, Schizophrenics, Manic Depressives, ADD and ADHD suffers, and Dissociative Identity Disordered people, among others, have problems in the brain that they can't help, and would if they could! Psychopaths think there is nothing wrong with them!

I hope this explains some things!

  It sounds to me like both Wade and his wife have mental issues.  The children need to be taken away from both of them.  She cuts herself, overdoses on pills and says she won't leave him until they find a body!!!   She is not of sound mind and is not capable of protecting these children.   And if Wade is just lying about killing people, I would say that he has a serious mental illness to the point where it might be possible for him to eventually kill someone.  He needs to be committed because he is a danger to the public.  His wife also needs to get some serious help.  She seems to be 'a few bricks short of a load'.  Get yourself together girl.  Get some brains and some balls.  I can't stand it when women act so pathetic.  Dont' be so stupid!!  These kids don't have a hope in hell of turning out right. 

I agree, I think  they both have serious mental issues going on.  #1...she has cut her own wrist, and ODed on sleeping meds, she is not capable of taking care of 2 sets of twins, the way her mind is right now.  At first I was feeling sorry for Michelle but, something about this story isn't adding up, I really think alot of this is for sympathy, on her part.  Saying she will leave or whatever when they find a body, is she crazy??  I truly don't know where to believe he did all of the things, that he has confessed to of doing, but I DO think he is capable of doing something like that!  I think they both need help!  I think we will all see somethings tomorrow that we were not expecting to see.  See you all tomorrow!  ps.  I Love you Dr. Phil, you are the man!!

Yes, exactly.  It does feel contrived. 

And I forgot to say in my original post that I wonder if Michelle & Wade aren't somehow in it together for the attention.  They're on a popular TV show.  For THREE days.  I'm not saying the whole story isn't true, but after Part 2 it just raised a huge stink & all kinds of red flags on both their parts. 

Like I said before...Dr. Phil needs to be careful of what he choses to air.  His show is more & more becoming a tabloid instead of common sense advice.

To me this story is contrived, and even if it is real, the wife appears as sick as her husband. First of all she listens to his sick confessions, and instead of calling the police the first chance she had she asks him to take her to the spots where he raped and murdered in order help him remember exactly what he had done, and dramatically tells his mother, "If I don't come back, look for me." Then she trembles as she says I thought he would kill me. After going to where he says he raped an murdered a woman, who she felt "so sad for," she goes home with him to discuss thing further, he gets sexually arouse and they have sex. This woman has two children in the house and her and husband are discussing murder and making love. This appears to have turned her on too! Maybe it’s a sick sex game they're playing with each other.

Then she comfortably calls Dr. Phil’s staff, waits until the cameras get to her house and goes on and on about how he is a serial killer and murderer, and then she says, "When they find a body I will leave!" She's cutting herself, taking pills with her two young children unattended and some how she hasn't changed the locks because her crazy ex-husband was able to come into the house and find her. How convienent.

What crazy sick sexual game are these two playing and how in the world has Dr. Phil allowed himself to be part of this strange game. I have no sympathy for this woman, there are woman who pursue men in prison, and get more turned on the more heinous the crime and she appears to have some of this sick fascination in her. She's getting a lot of attention, and telling a dark tale but she is not a victim whatsoever. Sad, sad story because two innocent baby boys are stuck in the middle of to sick people. If he is a rapist and murder I hope he is locked up and punished accordingly but as far as she's concerned I am almost as disgusted.
