My son was nearly dx with bipolar at the age of five because he had voilent rages and would attack anyone, including hurting himself.  Slamming his head into walls, doors, trying to get knifes to stab himself or others.  I had to hide all the knives and other things that he could use to hurt others with.  He had problems starting as a baby and it just got worse over time.  By the time he was three he was in 'therapy'...more like trying to figure out what was going on with him!  I was taught to physically restrain him so he couldn't hurt me or others.  Many times I had my arms covered with bite marks, scratches, brusies...I have been head butt, nearly had fingers broken, my jaw almost dislocated due to his rages.   

  

He would say he wanted to die and go to hell and help the devil kill people...wanted to cut my head off....he has come after me with bricks, sprayed household cleaner in my face said numberous times how he wanted to kill me.  He ended up in a mental health hospital at age five because he got a knife and was going to 'kill himself'...at this time it was discovered he was hearing 'hundreds and hundreds of demons' in his head.  He was put on heavy duty medication to try to control these.  On his dad's side of the family mental illness is rampant and severe...so it appeared he was becoming severely mentally ill....but the medications did not help. 

  

To make a long story short, I realize that the secular mental health system could not help my son...sure they could treat his body but not his spirit.  I had allergy testing done...he did have allergies and food allergies...had that treated...he did have ADHD and put on meds for that.  He was dx with other problems and delays, I got him help for all of that, yet he kept getting worse. Tried natural treatment....avoided all the foods he was allegic too...I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked until I learned to do spiritual warefare.  He also had the horrible nightmares...almost always about demons.  Where he got this demon idea from I do not know....but I do know alot of people who hear voices say its demon's they hear.   

  

I studied scriptures on rebuking evil spirits in the Name of Jesus...I got rid of everything in my home that would offend God...New Age stuff...horror books and movies...anything that appeared to be occult...threw it all out!  Then I begin quietly rebuking the evil spirits I saw in him...not where he could hear me though.  If he was anger and defiant, I would say, Be gone evil spirits of anger and defiance in the Name of Jesus and by the Blood of Jesus..and within a minute he would calm right down.  I was amazed!  I felt pretty stupid doing it actually until I saw it working.  At first I had to do it alot throughout each day...then over time less and less...this is bibical..we do what Jesus did.  I do not believe a demon was in my son, but only he was being oppessed by them. 

  

At any rate, I rarely have to rebuke anything now and he hasn't raged in a long long time.  He still has ADHD and allergies but the food allergies were healed too. :)  His severe anxiety is better too.  He is making process all the time after years of living in hell and is now a much happier and healthier and more normal boy.  Everyone needs to simple read the bible....the answer to all our problems is in there.  Do know there is a war going on....its spiritual...they attack our minds first...shield yourself with Jesus Christ.  

  

PLEASE stay away from the Psychic stuff...it will only bring in evil spirits...things WILL get worse...the bible addresses excatly what is going on actually. 

  

 

Ephesians 6

 0 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[c] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  

I am a single parent...and converative...I DO NOT want to "look sexy" to get THOSE kind of men...:(  geewise Dr. Phil...why can't you and the others on your show push women to simply look attractive...and not have them 'sell their bodies'.  This sexy junk only attractive slimy men that then just want to sleep with them and dump them... 

  

Women have lost their self respect in this way by having to "sell their bodies" to get a man to look at them.  I would rather remain unmarried the rest of my life then fend off men like that!!  Believe me I have done the 'sexy look' and know what kind of men it attraches...:(  I ended up marrying a horrible man because I had no self respect...and now have been single for a number of years..and not looking!  I LOVE being single! I do not need a man to make me happy. 

  

I honestly don't know why a woman can't be happy without a man...but that is another subject for another show I suppose.  Its just sad that this type of focus is on your show more and more.  I don't see anyone pushing loney single men to 'look sexy' to attract women...in which they too would just attract the wrong kind of woman too actually. 

  

Doing hair and the makeup and nice clothes is ok....but lets leave the cleveage out...the women would like a man to actually make eye contact rather then staring at her cleveage while making small talk....makes you just wanted slug the guy that is for sure!  But then what can a woman expect with half her breast showing like that! geez.  

  

If I was looking for a man, I would want one that loved me for who I am, and not how much of my body is being flashed around...blah on that!

as if she worked for him like a paid employee.  He is judging her performance rather then just loving her for who she is.  Whenever he figures out she isn't his 'employee' but his wife, maybe then he can start to relax.  I would have 'quit' as an employee long ago if I was her, and gone on 'strike' telling him if he didn't like how I did things...my performance around the house...then he could just do it himself.  He doesn't seem to understand what a wife is...:(  He needs to go to "What a wife is 101" class. ha! 

  

I admire her for having not run over him with a car long ago!!  

  

Makes me glad I don't have to deal with a husband! sheesh. 

  

I feel sorry for this wife...if he thinks she is bad, he oughta see my house!  And it doesn't bother me one bit.  Its clean, just messy because I have a child!  I am not following my son around all day long making sure everything is perfect and in place.  This husband seems to want things totally perfect and is being a real jerk...wait until the next baby is born!  I suppose he will expect her to get up at night with the baby and not get enough sleep but still keep the house perfect.  If he really wants it that perfect he needs to hire a maid...she is his WIFE not his maid and needs to be treated as one.  He is just being a big mean bully...

I have to say on that one I felt sorry for the bio-mom..I feel the step mom is indeed too young and has no experience with children and seems to be out to 'get her'.  Children do get hurt!!  As a mother myself, I can be standing right there and not be able to prevent my son from getting hurt.  Accident happen so fast.  I also cannot watch him every second of every day either.  When he was little and first learning to walk he fell alot and would crack his head on things..even though I would be right there, I couldn't move fast enough to catch him.   He has also burned himself on Christmas tree lights before when I had older ones especially, so I got the cooler ones, but still if held against the skin they can burn too.  The stepmom has totally no idea how hard it is to keep track of many children at once to see what they are up too and thinks the bio-mom is neglectful for not seeing the kids wrapping up the boy in Christmas lights.  Us moms have to go to the bathroom once awhile too!  That is usually when things happen and someone gets help...never fails it seems!

This has nothing to do with neglect or abuse...its kids doing thing they think is funny and not realizing the conquenses of their actions...nothing more.  Its like the stepmom is checking this boy out for any little marks and just assuming the worse.  She would probably think I was smacking sticks on my son's shins if she saw how bruised up he gets them in the summer time.  He also has gotten bursies on his hind end from falls....I don't spank and haven't in years. 
The step mom honestly just doesn't know what she is talking about...she really doesn't.  The sad thing is she is probably convincing this boy he is really being abused or neglected and is going to cause true emotional damage to him if she keeps it up.  I find it odd if they thought the bio mom was on drugs and doing all these horrible things before...why it took them so long to call CPS?  They are convincing themselves this boy is being neglected or abused is what they are doing.   Sure the bio-mom is not perfect...none of us mothers are.  But trying to pull the Holier then Thou on the bio-mom, because each child has a different father, step mom needs to re-read the scriptures on removing the log from her own eyes before trying to remove a splinter from someone else's eye.

Calena dear...you are not a movie star...people talk about anyone and everyone because they like to gossip and right now they are saying not very nice things about you...why would you want that?  It just seems you have become so arrogant that its lead you to stealing and I was really hoping Dr. Phil would explain to you how you could end up in prison for what you have done.  Don't sell all that stuff your mom loaded up as the credit card company is going to want it all back!  They have to get their money somehow and they will come in and take everything you have charged...and you will be black listed on all credit cards and not beable to get another one...your credit will be ruined and you will be taken to court and forced to make monthly payments to them OR go to jail...its considered a white collar crime...stealing!!

 

You are nothing more then a thief and that is certainly nothing to be proud about. Do you deserve the title of a thief?  You probably don't think so but that is excatly what Dr. Phil was trying to tell you.  I would be so ashamed of myself if I did something like that.  I had ONE credit card to be used only when I truly need it...such as last month one of my cats got seriously ill and just to start treatment for him I had to put down several hundred dollars which I didn't have in my checking account so I did use it then.  Its for cases like that...not to spend on a bunch of useless junk that you can't take with you when you die. 

 

Our treasures are in Heaven not on earth...one day you will discover you deserve something much better then money or material things...

 

Good luck...I hope you grow up soon before you find yourself sitting in jail...

I watch the health channel alot and lately they have been having alot of shows on overweight people.  For most its over eating and eating the wrong kinds of foods, but their was one family where the mother, father and a sibling were normal height and weight...none of them overweight one bit, but their son was very much overweight.  They all ate healthy so the family couldn't understand why their son just kept packing on the weight.  As a teenager he was able to get that gastrist bypass surgery. (sorry about my spelling on that).  Some time afterwards they showed him and he was very thin and much happier.  I am hearing on the media that for some people they don't seem to know when they are full and it may have been that case for this young man.  He ate quiet alot!  But wasn't using up enough engery to burn it off.  I am hoping soon they can come up with some sort of medical test on individuals showing if they have this chemical problem where they cannot tell when they are full.  I get full so quickly its frustrating...especially when the food is good and I want to eat more, I just can't.  But at the same time I am thankful so this way I don't have to worry about a weight problem.   Good luck on the drs figuring it out.

Well I really enjoyed the show today, Dr. Phil, but I think you need to put everyone posting on here in your Dr. Phil house! :(  I mean good grief!  I came away from the show feeling happy and upbeat, especially because of the last story on there about the boy who was so heavy then after his dad got him, he lost most of that weight and looked so good!  I was SO impressed with that dad too! Then I come on here and most of the postings are angry, negative, judgemental and "how dare you judge" while judging...and just really nasty stuff on here.  Talk about going from a happy feeling to blah in 60 seconds or less...:(

 

I thought we were suppose to talk about the show and if anyone asked for help on here to offer support?  How is blasting the guests on the show or those posting suppose to help anyone, let alone the children?  Then we wonder why 'some' of them might turn to food for comfort?  Good grief!  I came on here to post about the great and informative show today and hopefully get some tips on finding some meal ideas for lunch for my son.  While he is not overweight and I cook a balance supper every evening, I struggle with the day to day lunchtime meals...but gee I don't think I even want to get into that on here...I would risk being torn to pieces, told I was abusing him (even if he isn't over weight) being a 'lazy, bad mom' etc, etc..so instead (knowing I cannot get any help on this message board) I will instead look through Dr. Phil's websites for some tips and ideas...

 

I really hope you all don't treat others like this in real life...:(   

(sorry I don't know her name)...I just cannot believe how cold hearted she was toward the overweight guy.  Thinking because he handled his grief differently then her, somehow makes her a smarter and better person...shows a huge lack of compassion...shame on her!  Men (not all but many) simply do not do well at expressing their feelings as women and tend to stuff it...and do not turn to others for help because society sees that as a weakness.  So instead it comes out in anger and self destructive behavior.  Its simply all a sign of severe depression.  Miss Skinny doesn't even seem to know what the word 'ignorant' means...that she likes to throw around alot as a put down to people.  It simply means, lack of knowlege...lack of knowing something...doesn't mean the person cannot learn though, like she seems to imply.  Miss Skinny might look nice on the outside, but inside she isn't pretty at all.  I hope she can learn to understand just because others cannot pull themselves out of a deep depression and grief to even seek help...it doesn't mean they don't want too.  I know what its like to be so depressed I couldn't even think straight, let alone seek help for myself.  I hope she gets something out of this experience.
