I agree with you, Donna on EVERYTHING you just said.  Color doesn't matter to me either, but behavior is the whole reason that prejudices continue to be around with blacks and whites, especially.  I know there are "bad" in every race, but when you see certain things over and over again committed by the same people, it is hard not to be prejudice.

I haven't seen this show yet, but was wondering what ever happened to the two children that were missing.  I forget their names, but do remember the mom coming on Dr. Phil and another woman (Lisa) coming on who she thought knew more to the story than she was saying.  Her ex-husband and this Lisa were "friends" and he took the kids for a vist and they were never heard from again.  I do wish that Dr. Phil would get back to some of these stories and let us know more updates.  I know he gives us updates on the frivilous things, but would like to know about Staci and Chris (the Morman family) and how their kids are doing and also the doctor husband that had a mistress who had a baby the same time his wife had one.  Where are they and did she finally leave him (I hope).  It is always nice to hear about the "silly" updates, but I am more concerned about these real life situations.  By the way, how are Alex, Catherine, Marty and Erin and baby Nathan (2 years old now) doing?  Hope someone reads this that has some input into the shows.  Thanks.

I hope that thru this show and Dr. Phil, you can move forward from the false accusations you had to endure in Chester, PA.  I live around there and remember reading about your ordeal and wondering why a big front page apology wasn't in the Daily Times like the other headlines that preceded it.  I wish you lots of success and luck in getting another job and I know you will with the support of the people and Dr. Phil.  You are blessed to have a strong wife standing beside you.

I just LOVE Dr. Phil and Robin, and have even been in the audiance, but some of the recent shows have been a "stretch".  I remember years back, I wouldn't miss an Oprah show and now rarly watch her.  I still think that she is a wonderful person, I just don't like her show.  I am hoping that this doesn't happen with the Dr. Phil show.  I, personally, don't like a lot of frivolity on the show and think that Dr. Phil should stick with being Dr. Phil.  I do understand that it is hard to do a good show 5 days a week and make it interesting and something that all will like.  I just happen to think that in the beginning of the shows, it was a lot more interesting finding out about people and how Dr. Phil could help them out.  Now, it seems like it is more of a "show" and sometimes silly and not my taste.  I know that you can't please all the people all of the time, but wish that the shows would get back to the way they were in the begining.

I agree that Myndie is not willing to give her dad a chance.  Maybe if there is more to this story, I could understand it better, but, as far as what was said on the show today, I think that more forgiveness and moving on should be done by Myndie.  What Dr. Phil said about loosing your father thru death and not ever being able to go back and re-do the things that were left unsaid or undone, should strike a bell in Myndie's mind.  Maybe with counceling, she can move on and let her dad be happy.  No one is happy to have their families disolve, no matter what.  I don't agreee with annulments (I'm not Catholic).  We are to stay married forever, but "stuff" happens and divorce happens and if you marry and have children, that marriage was and has no right to be wiped away.  I can sort of understand Myndie's feelings concerning the annulment, altho she is not a bastard child.  It just seems to me, that most Catholics that get an annulment it is done so they can still take communion, get burried from the church and "be in good standing as a Catholic", and since you can't do that if you re-marry, an annulment is the first thing you think of after paying the higher ups for it.  It's all about money and if you have enough money and time to do this, then your slate will be wiped clean and you can start over.  Hopefully, Myndie will be able to forgive and move on and have her father in her life.  You can do it Myndie.  I'm not saying things will be the same as before, but you will NEVER forgive yourself if something happens to your dad and you keep the same attitude you have now.

I love you, Dr. Phil and watch you every day and was even in the audience a few years ago.  Usually, I think you are "right on" with your advice, but on todays show, you blew it!!!!!!!!!  Everyone could tell that Jim was smug and knew just what to say and what he could get away with saying.  On the other hand, Sinden was scared and I believe she is married to the Jim no one knows.  Even you, Dr. Phil could not see the "real Jim".  Please help Sinden before it is too late.  I am a fan of shows like 48 hours and can just see this as their lead story some day in trying to figure out what happened to cause Jim to do away with her.  Help her get those children back.  I know that Sinden must have some "issues", but they are nothing compared to Jim's.  He knew the right buttons to push to have the kids removed from her and thinks he is so smart and will win.  This isn't about either of them winning, but is about how those children will grow up and I think should be how Sinden can get them back.

I don't think that I have an answer to your problem, but feel very, very sorry for you.  Too bad that you couldn't have seen what kind of guy he was before you had a child together.  Your little Chri will be scarred badly with having to live with a man that treats him like this.  I don't know how you can make your husband see what he is doing is WRONG.  The punishment doesn't fit the "crime" and he is only a child too.  I do think that, going behind your husbands back and taking Chris to his science fair was wrong, but know how you must have felt.  Your husband has no right to discipline your son......he is yours and it should be your say in how and when to discipline.  Now with Kyle, it is different.  It is sad that the grandparents are kept from their grandson and also sad that Chris can't see them.  They need each other.  You will have deep regrets if something happens to either of them and you have not mended the relationship.  If I were you, I would go visit them and take Chris and Kyle.  I know that your husband says it would be disrespecting him, but when someone is so unreasonable, then you have to do what you know is the right thing.  Wish I had a better answer for you.  Is there a third party that you could go to for an opinion that he would respect?  He needs councelling badly.  Hope all turns out, but if not, then you may have to leave for Chris and your sake.  

   

This response is to another post and was not meant to be here.  Hope you know who I am talking about.  

I want to see this show too and since it is Labor Day, I'm afraid it won't be shown in my area

I just cannot believe that Dr. Phil would address such a simple problem.  I don't like to see things like that on the show.  I want "serious" things addressed and this is just fluff.  Please, Dr Phil, get back to the "real" problems that your show was created for.  I don't want you to be slipping down the slipery slide of "fluff" and doing shows that include stuff like this.  I don't think that I'm the only one that feels like this. I respect Dr. Phil's advice, but don't want it to become silly as this seems to me.  Concern yourself with real problems and leave the fluff alone.

I agree with this post.  I used to think that  you, Dr. Phil were the most upstanding moral person making sure that you say what is "right".  I'm hoping that since your fame and money, you don't back down and become PC just because of all the "people" that you have to please.  Everything that people do is NOT o.k. even tho they aren't hurting anyone doing it.  I just feel like you are heading down the slippery slope of life on going along with things just to keep the peace.  I  hope not.  I like you a lot and want to continue to watch your show.
