You've heard the saying "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping." But what happens when you're $80,000 in debt and still spending $7,000 a week? When Michael and Bridgette were last on the show, her shopping was an addiction that was destroying their family. Dr. Phil discovered that her excessive spending was just a symptom of a serious problem. Bridgette confessed that she was in a loveless, sexless marriage with a rage-a-holic whose anger affected the entire family. Can Michael get his rage under control and stop passing his anger onto their three children? And can this family in crisis be saved? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Wake up call

I know this particular subject is somewhat passed, but it was the first time for me here in Australia. I couldn't help but draw parallels to the way I treat one of my kids occassionally, maybe a lot of the time lately. I couldn't understand where my anger was coming from. I am a firefighter and have had a really bad time of it in the last five years. I thought that my work was coming home with me and it was a means of venting fustration. Watching this show made me realise that my anger might be coming from a different place. My eldest son is struggling with his education and is immature for his age. He is such a great kid but my frustration gets the better of me I think, because all I want for him is success. Even thou the show has opened my eyes, it will take some work to change the way I have become. I feel the writing is on the wall for me and I don't want to be in the same position as Michael. I am wondering how the family is getting on now after their counselling sessions. Thank you Dr Phil, I hope this subject has been a wake up call to others.
