(Original Air Date: 11/20/07) Dr. Phil continues the startling story of Wade and Michelle. After the taping of their last appearance on the show, the pair retires backstage, where they immediately get into an argument. Emotions run high as Dr. Phil joins the couple for a talk. Learn how Dr. Phil responds to a tearful plea from Wade. Days later, Michelle calls a Dr. Phil producer and leaves a message saying, "I need big help, and I'm going to tell you something huge, and I'm scared." When Dr. Phil returns her call, find out the shocking bombshell Michelle drops. What does Wade claim to have done that is so extreme, Dr. Phil feels compelled to get the F.B.I. and the state police involved? Saying she fears for her life, Michelle arranges a protective order against her husband, which sets off a dramatic turn of events. How does Wade respond to the court order? Is his embattled wife able to break free from him and also keep their children safe? Find out who paid a visit to relatives to retrieve a shotgun, who may have taken too much Ambien, and who wound up in the county jail for breaking the protective order while purportedly trying to rescue the other from the brink. And when Michelle sits down with Dr. Phil, learn what she says is her reason for carrying on. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

so many people on this message

Any and all people on this message board who have something negative to say about this woman, have never been in an abusive relationship , and should not comment. you do not know what you are talking about. This woman, her children and her whole family are in great danger as well as Dr. Phil.      From someone who has walked in her shoes, and I can see the ploting in his eyes.This is a very dangerous man!

7/29AHUSBAND'S SHOCKING CONFESSIONS P2

Quote From: fanny10

My feelings exactly.  How could she have sex with him knowing what she knew.  How could she text message him and tell her she overdosed.  He could have killed her while she was out of it.  How could she go with him to the place he said he killed that girl?  That was crazy.  I think there is a lot she is not telling.  She is not entirely innocent. 

There is no way this is all there is to that story. She is awfully composed for some one that believes she is living with a serial killer. Going to where he said all this took place was stupid.Perhaps she is that naive, but that is hard to swallow. Neither of them are telling the truth. If he committed these crimes that is both sick an awful.

How about the overdose? What did the hospital do and say? There is a lot missing.Did she text him? If she did she knew he would respond, she would be saved.That wasn't very smart however. She knows more than she is telling or she is an incredible person.

They haven't found any traces of such crimes taking place.

Do people really live like this? I don't think this would be on national TV if he is really admitting to murder. That would have to be against every law we have. Then again you have proved you know a lot about the law. My prayers are with them all.

I agree that this is a very sick man.,dangerous too.She seems to want to help him, but has no idea what she is really dealing with. I don't believe they would let the man confess to such a crime on national TV.

I have no idea what they are doing with this, but I imagine between Dr. Lawless, Dr. Phil, FBI, and State police they do. I have been in an abusive situation and most people don't know a great deal about one and usually don't have any idea of the danger they are in.

I'm not saying any thing negative about Michelle, but she does know more than she's admitting too.I don't have a clue why he is claiming to have done these things. They have found nothing to substantiate these crimes.

My prayers are with them all. Especially the children.

I am living it now

 I am living with a man who shares a lot in common with Wade.  I also share some things in common with Michelle.  I have 4 kids (one set of twins).  Luckily, they are all grown and out on their own.  I will say that the effects of this man in my life have been devastating.  He is now just started treatment for his disorder(s), but I am not holding my breath.  I am a student, and my priority lies with getting my family back together and with my school, which is a very positive thing in my future.  (psychology)  I want to say that my partner watched part of this show, and his opinion was that Wade was full of crap.  (To be one is to know one??)  He did not back it up with much, just as Wade has not really backed much up.  PTSD may be the diagnosis for Wade, but knowing what I know, there's a lot of family history there.  His environment growing up would have probably been instrumental in his learned attitudes and behaviours towards women.  In my personal opinion, this has more to  do with his parents and upbringing, than his time spent in the gulf.  Just my 2 cents, for what its worth.  As far as my personal situation goes, I am  holding out to get through school.  If he makes it through all this that's great.  It is really difficult to get out of such a volatile situation, especially when you have NO family support.  I would go to Dr. Phil myself, but I can not afford not to go to school in September.  So, let's not criticize anyone for not being able to get out when they want.  These kinds of people are so manipualtive, and it can render the partner helpless in many ways.

I am ever vigilant of myself, and will take care of ME.

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

I'm a little disappointed with the shocking confession of the husband.  Based on the first show it seems apparent to me that the wife has some emotional problems if she is cutting herself.  Also,  she said she was afraid for her life and got a restraining order from her husband (understandably so) then proceeded to call him after taking too much ambien.  She must have a family member or friend she could have called and if she didn't she should have called 911, not her husband.  In addition, if he killed a girl on the side of the road why did they not have an abandoned car.  And, like the husband I would have had that mother and the children out of that house immediately until the information was verified.  It is always better to be safe then sorry.

I definitely agree

Quote From: amber_rose

That feels like this lady is doing some of this for attention??? I'm not saying she's lying, and I belive this guy needs to be in prison, but my family was in an abusive situation with my father years ago and I can tell you, not only would my mother not take pills like that, she sure as hell would not have called HIM for help. It all seems a little fishy to me on both sides...
     One of Dr. Phil's quotes I've taken to heart is "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior". This woman had children with Wade before they were married and must have known about lots of  his previous affairs.  She also knew about his problem with pornography long before all of this came up just before the show.  If it were me  I would have taken the children and run like hell and  then called the show, etc., not check with my sister, his uncle, and hang around waiting to see how many times he called or maintaining contact with him.  She appears, naive, immature, and out for sympathy and attention.

Michelle

I wanted to say I am very surprised at Michelle's response to Dr. Phil,s asking if she was afraid of Wade ?  Her answer was "No" because I know he loves me.  That is crap!  She is sick too!

Well where was her courage the day before when she called you telling you how afraid she was of Wade!  For her and her children.  Jack was trying to help her and he was really put down on the show by a very sick man.  That was wrong!  Wade is a sick man.  He needs to be put behind bars!  I really think he is a liar and very sick!

Please make sure Jack the FBI guy knows I think he is doing a great thing and I appreciate Dr. Phil bringing him in when needed.  Thanks,

Pam from Texas

omg

Quote From: luciusl

A friend called me to tell me about the 7/28 show so I got online to read.  OMG - I can sympathize with her!  I know what it's like to find the magazines, to find them masturbating to the magazines.  I endured almost 20 years of my ex-husband's compulsive lieing, financial ruin, the red cross refusing to accept his blood and porn, porn and more porn.  It's embarrassing and you don't want people to know so they lie to make you out to be the bad person.  They convince you that it's your fault, that your the one with the problem.  Well I know I never had jock itch in my crack!  I feel for you Michelle and I can only tell you that is gets better but get out and get help!!!  The anger is still there for not seeing it and allowing it to continue but BELIEVE ME, these men are snake oil salesman, they can charm a dog off of a meat truck and come out smelling like a rose while your labeled the insane one. 
I agree, simple as that

Then, again, she's on the inside looking out, we're on the outside looking in. Sometimes those on the inside, closest to the situation, find themselves confused, unable to see the forest for the trees.
