Quote From: shmigelzFirst off why does every american person on Dr. Phil, Katherines family, Katherines mom, and even Dr. Phil think that she's in such 'mortal danger'? cause they live in Israel? Every single video that the Dr.Phil shot when she was in Tel Aviv seemed like a nice, normal country to me. I didn't hear any bombs going off, any guns being shot, or any planes flying over...
I personally know people who I talk to and do business with that fly back to Lebanon and Israel every year and tell me now much they love it over there and all the great things about it. The beaches, the weather, etc, etc. Their familes are their right now and are doing fine.
I mean give me a BREAK. Im sure there is MORE murders, violence, killings in the US then there is in ISRAEL, LEBANON, etc... all together..
I actually feel bad for the guy here, everyone keeps saying he's such a bad guy, everyone says he's so controlling but it can't be that bad if she flys all the way over there, not once BUT twice. Even when she got to the airport she went back. I mean, all we ever hear is how bad he is... SOoooooooo the poor guy doesn't even get the chance to stand up and speak for himself and for that I blame the Dr.Phil show...
Has he been VOILENT with Katherine?? In ANY relationship who has not had arguements, fights, verbally abused, maybe even being pushed, etc.. I'll personally guantee that happens in 90+% of ALL relationships, I don't care what anyone says.
Now Dr.Phil says she's met an 'American boy.' I mean IF the United States ever wonders why most of the rest of the world despieses them, hates them, or attacks them (World Trade Center airplane attacks, World Trade Centre bombing), attack on the US Military boat over in the middle east area I think (when they blew a hole in the side)...... Today on the Dr.Phil show is a TYPICAL example of HOW the US acts, the US treats, and how the US talks about other people and other countries like they are LESS then the US, how they don't deserve US woman to marry, how their countries are always at way (with the US more often then now, and only because the US attempt to invade them), and I can go on and on and on....
Just ask Dr. Phil how much of a REAL impact and change that the UNITED STATES has really done over in the Middle East. I mean after so called 9/11 the United States attacked Iraq.. Not a SINGLE terrorist on ANY one of those planes was from Iraq....
I really thought and expected more today from the Dr. Phil show. I mean what did you expect an 18 yr old woman to say on TV infront of 10 million people when Dr.Phil is pushing her to say things to him...
You seriously believe that there is verbal or physical abuse in 90% of relationships? Arguing and fighting is completely different from ABUSE. Your view of what is "normal" is severely skewed if you truly believe 9 out of 10 people are being abused at some point in their relationship.
Oh.. and Abdullah had ample opportunity to defend himself, both in the first show and in this one. Dr. Phil never interrupted him, cut him off or censored him. He just chose not to. Why? Probably because he knew all he had to say was BS! Didn't you notice how in the last show when Dr. Phil asked him why he hadn't gotten a VISA all he did was make excuses? On today's show he chose to use his time to lay blame on anyone whose name he could remember and dodge responsibility.
Dr. Phil follows up with a family terrified for the safety of their loved one, Katherine, a young woman who flew to the Middle East to be with Abdullah, whom she met online. When she last spoke with Dr. Phil, Katherine promised that she would return to the United States within two days, but immediately after the show, she changed her mind. Find out what happened during two failed attempts to get Katherine home, and what finally got her on a plane. Then, Katherine’s mother, Shawn, and sister, Mary, say they were overwhelmingly relieved to have her back safe, so why didn’t they greet her at the airport? Katherine joins her family onstage and offers her tearful apologies. After hearing how her actions have affected her family and Dr. Phil’s staff, will Katherine go back to Abdullah, or will she have a change of heart? Join the discussion.
