Topic : 08/04 Daddy Drama

compassion, understanding, and care for this person sitting across from them????

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Eeewwwwww, you're gross!"

"I don't even know you"

" You're dead to me"

(AND, they're the ones who called into the show!)

This show , to me, did not help either parties. IMO

To me, there is NO telling what this guy (dad) is feeling on the inside

and, somewhat feel the  same way w/ these girls.

I am very upset by the way KAYLA was treated.  Everyone acted like KAYLA wanted to & set out to intentionally hurt her children. Maybe all of you should walk a mile in my shoes...I am married to a woman, now Suzy who WAS MY HUSBAND, GEORGE for 30 years until 2003 when she felt our sons were old enough to understand that she could no longer carry on as George & needed to become SUZY, a whole woman with the surgery in Canada and my full support.  THINK about this for a couple of minutes...If your husband went to war and was shot in his privates and could not perform as your husband any longer would you love him less for that?  ALSO, what if he was in a horrible accident and then had to have surgery transforming his face and body to someone else that didn't look like your husband anymore but was on the inside???  I have stayed with my transgender spouse, from George all through the way to the new exterior person, Suzy.  My family at first thought it was a joke, but sooned learned that it was a true story and they have been truly accepting of her.  We will be married 35 years this November 2008.  I don't think my kids have ever understood why I have stayed with my spouse, Suzy but I still love her and she loves me, too.  She was thrilled that I didn't divorce her when it all came out.  I thought about my children first, but I also had to consider what that would teach my children about people because they are different or not the same as others in this world.  Sometimes for my children, I wonder if I did the wrong thing by staying, but personally I NEVER, EVER regret my decision to stay with my wife, SUZY. 

Unless you are walking a mile in my shoes, you have no idea what I have been through.  I worked for  a branch of the armed forces on an armed forces base and believe me, it was not easy to listen to all the remarks I heard and the aggrevation I had to endure after they all found out my husband became my wife.  Not many of them understood, but most of them accepted it because they were truly my friends. Now all of my family and Suzy's family have accepted it and embrace the fact that we are staying together.  Our relationship is different since we are no longer man and wife, but we still love each other and hopefully only the people who are small minded in this world will judge us as after all,"ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE". 

Dr Phil, where was all that compassion that you usually show for people in any other situation? If you would be willing I would love to come on your show and explain how our family is still trying to work through this situation.  It is an everyday work in progress. I wish KAYLA and her children all the best as we are on the other side of this situation since we have two sons and no daughters. I feel unless you have been there you have no idea how this can destroy a family or you try to help keep your family together.

GOD BLESS YOU all for at least giving me the opportunity to say my point of view.  I am glad we live in a county where it is still free to do whatever works for you even if others don't agree.
