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

This scenario has TONS AND TONS of holes in it.  Too much waffeling on her part from day one. This sounds strange --- so strange.  Not that it isn't possible.  BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF, it sounds like, ohhhhh, I can get him, I'll make up this story and he won't get the kids and I can punish him.   And really, I'm surprised that Dr. Phil wasn't a little more wary of this whole situation.  He is a wacko, I would have dumped his butt, for the porn alone.  Then you add all the other stuff, prior to her accusations that he is a serial killer and murderer,  oh - and now -- the police have found no proof.  mmmmmm.  something isn't right on both sides of this fence.

I don't think Michelle is lying. I think she may be guilty only of being an enabler. I believe she had such high hopes for her marriage to work that she enabled Wades lying. Her hope and wishful thinking blinded her to all of the signs which is not uncommon in domestic abuse. I am concerned for her and her children because of her clinging to a hope that is obviously a lie as well. I see an angry man with control issues as well as being a pathological liar who will never ever change when I see Wade and I'm glad that Dr. Phil is being Michelle's eyes and ears since she cannot see the forest for the trees.

Not sure his stories to Michelle are believable

I did some extensive online checking, I cant find a police report, news story or any thing pertaining to this whole "who shot John" story. If this guy was guilty of anything and confessed, there is nothing online to back up this whole mirage. If he did confess to her (the killing) I would NOT HAVE gone with him to the site. I would have been gone so fast I would have left skid marks! This story is a bunch of hyped up garbage. I think we have all been suckered...

 

Hi Dr. Phil. You are a true professional. You seem to get into a persons inner soul and mine. The show was great and I can't wait for the final (pt. 3) episode of this interview. You now have me hooked to watching your show. I just wish you were taping in N.Y.C. A fantastic show. Keep up the great work.

Hey... watched the show today and to be quite honest, I really wasnt sure who was telling the truth at first. I was in complete awe!!! I am so worried for Michelle and her children. I was in an abusive relationship myself with two children and it can be quite scary as you dont just have yourself to worry about but also your children whom you love to pieces! What a shock to learn that your husband has had an affair...little own.. to rape or kill another human being. I just cant even begin to fathom it at all. I wonder if it all just wont fall through the cracks of the courts and Michelle will wind up in the River with  the other woman. My god...by the time all this evidence is found.. or at least enough to convict him if there ever is enough to convict him... what will he do to Michelle??? I hope she is keeping in a safe place with her children and somewhere he would never suspect. I also worry about Dr. Phil...as Wade will surely BLAME him for causing all this.. as I know how abusive men kinda think. He will blame Dr. Phil for coming between him and Michelle and his children. They always need an accuse or a reason for doing what they do! Well I do want to wish Michelle and her kids all the best and hope to GOD that all turns out OK for you all. Be safe all of you. And thank you Dr. Phil for making me appreciate the wonderful family and husband I have, as I have taken if for granted so many times, seeing how some women really live makes me so sad yet but greatful for what kind of life I live! Thank you once again and my thoughts and prayers are with you Michelle and your children.

Nothing Wade claims make any real sense and has enough holes in his story to drive a tractor trailer through (at least from where I'm sitting and I could be wrong).  Either he's lying, something certainly not new to him, or he's actually convinced himself he did something in some sick fantasy (not unheard of with men addicted to porn and/or violence).  He may also be lying to simply intimidate Michelle into not leaving him.  I mean, why in the world would he admit this to his wife who is already on the verge of leaving him?  Doesn't it sound awfully threatening?  It reeks of, "Hey, if I can do this to strangers, just imagine what I can do to you."  Whatever the final "truth" is, he is a sick man in the end.

I'm also becoming increasingly suspicious of Michelle for the same reason many other posters on here are suspicious of her.  Things aren't adding up on her end either.  It sickens me to even think she might be lying, or a part of a hoax, or simply covering up something about herself or her husband.  I, and others could be completely wrong here, but her "performance" today seemed just that.  It was all rather bizarre.  Could she just be distraught, out of touch, desperate and not thinking clearly?  Absolutely, and that could make perfect considering what she's been through, but I'm just not convinced that she is being as upfront as she pretends.  All of this is beginning to look so orchestrated, planned, contrived.  Could Wade and Michelle have planned this whole thing out?  I think there is a good chance that Dr. Phil is being played here by folks who just want to be on television (for 3 days no less!).

I sincerely hope that I am wrong here and I know some Michelle loyalist will want to burn me at the stake, but I can't help what I'm feeling about her right now.  I would rather apologize for even momentarily thinking poorly of Michelle than be right regarding what my gut is telling me.  If she has played any kind of part in what may turn out to be a charade/hoax here, she has violated and hurt so many women who are really suffering out there in marriages where they can't find their voice or a way out.  No one likes to play a fool.  I was impressed with Michelle the first day and felt I could really understand her pain, but I'll feel mighty stupid if she played some bizarre role in all this for attention and I'll feel terrible for the many women who identified with her to only find out she's a fraud.  Again, I sure do hope I'm completely and utterly wrong here.

At the very least, Michelle IS an unstable woman at this point.  It appears this relationship with Wade may have begun as an affair itself (according to some on here claiming to know the couple) or at the very least it began in a bizarre way (as described by Michelle), she admits to being bi-polar, and her emotional (or lack thereof) reaction to everything just seems so way off and, frankly, unbelievable.  Regardless of what happens here with Wade or if any of my, and others, suspicions are true, this woman still needs some serious counseling after all she's been through.  I sit here praying that I'm wrong about things and hoping that Michelle gets the help she needs.  I have never felt so conflicted watching a Dr. Phil show.

I agree.  I once had the absolute misfortune to date a man who turned out to be married AND a pedophile.  His wife knew all this on some level and let him become a teacher despite it.  (He's since been convicted of raping his wife's mentally handicapped daughter so he's not a teacher.)  Like marries like.  But this woman has only been married 4 years so maybe there's still some hope for her having more empathy for other people. 

Maybe in his twisted brain he thinks this big whopper of a lie will save his marriage. Tell the wife a few real confessions then springs the by the way I killed and rapped people story on her to see how she would react. How powerful it must feel to him to tell that kind of lie  to manipulate his wife  to a false location with a false story. Maybe in his  sick brain this is a way to try and share a big secret so she will think he is trustworthy since he shared such a big secret .(lie)  He got off on it too this guy is a real sicko! and she is stupid for staying with a sick guy. If the story is true the police will sort it out if it is a lie he just showed the world how  truly sick he is and he should not be anywhere near his children he is the type that would kill his whole family. The wife says she has not broken down is she kidding she is not acting like a rational person at all. The restraining order is the first normal thing she has done.
