Amber be strong and know you have lots of support

Amber you keep strong and know that you have my support.  Start putting yourself and the children first and let Duane move on with his selfish lifestyle.  It isn't easy and it is always easier for people outside the situation to tell you what to do, but believe me when I say you are a great person and you deserve more!  I truly take each and every word Dr. Phil says as gospel and I really believe that Dr. Phil is on your side and he does not push divorce as you know....he always has said you have to earn your way out of a marriage.  Well girl, you have earned your way out!  You are young, beautiful and have three gorgeous children that need their mom to be happy.  You touched my heart and I will keep you in my thoughts.  Your friend in NY

04/04 "I Want My Ex Back"

Quote From: popcorn03

I happen to know Amber and she is one of the most generous, loving, gentle spirits I've ever met.  She has managed to raise 3 amazingly beautiful, well behaved and respectful children in spite of the problems in this marriage.  Well, it shouldn't be that way.  Imagine how wonderful things would be if there was no "in spite of." 

  

We've all been there.  We've all made mistakes.  We've dated/married/loved the wrong guy at some time in our lives, denying the obvious that's staring us right in the face.  I don't think anyone can say they haven't.   

  

As for the person who says the story was one sided, I'll bet anything you're someone he knows trying to make him look better.  He didn't say much because there's not much defense to buying $13,000 motorcycles when your family needs money to pay the bills or "hooking" up with your ex girlfriend when you're trying to talk your wife into getting back together.  Don't you think Dr. Phil would love to give him credit if it were due?  It's obvious to me that Dr. Phil prefers to present the truth and if one person comes off looking bad, it's because that's the way it really is. 

Well said!!  Dr. Phil gave Duane the opportunity to speak up and defend himself and he couldn't!  He couldn't because there is no defending himself.  Dr. Phil always is fair and he was fair in their discussion.  It is obvious to me that Dr. Phil knows what Amber needs to do and I know Amber knows what she needs to do and I know she will do it!

There wasn't any editing!

Quote From: nosympathy

Was anyone at the taping of the Dr phil show?    Anyone? Thought so. There was more discussion, but for some reason it was edited. There is a reason its taped and then aired 2weeks later. Don't forget his fanbase, women. Don't ever make the woman look bad!

In response to Nosympathy, as a matter of fact I WAS at the taping of the show and there was NOT ANY editing!!!  The reason they tape and then air later is because they do many shows and that is how it fits into their schedule!  Yes fanbase is made up of many women, however, wrong is wrong whether it be the man or the woman and in this case, it is DUANE!  Believe me I have been watching Dr. Phil since he was on Oprah and he does not back anyone in particular, male or female, he gives his advice and his common sense outlook on a situation where sometimes it takes a third party that is not immediately involved in the situation to bring out the truth and to open their eyes.   He gets a lot of background on the guests and also gives them the full opportunity to get their side across.  Duane had no side...he obviously was lying to Amber when he said all he was doing was watching a movie with an ex-girlfriend.  PLEASE!  He lied about that and that was just the beginning of his lies.  Amber needs to just move on and not look back.  What is wrong with you that you can't see that this is a wonderful mother of three small children who just wanted a husband to be responsible, mature and to love her!  HELLO!! 

Ok, so from someone who sat right there in the audience the day of the taping, I rest my case!  No editing was done!!!

04/04 "I Want My Ex Back"

Quote From: mamma2

 I agree that Amber does need to move on.....  Duane needs to move on too.  Oh wait I think he said he tried to move on, then what do you know Amber wants to reconcile.  Maybe him dating made her a little jealous?????  As far as being responsible,  I think Duane has been.  He has supported her finacially, and has taken care of his kids very well.  So I don't think that this failure of a marriage can be all blamed on Duane.  
well it looks like we agree on one thing....they both need to move on.  Amber wanted to reconcile from what I gather, because she loved him and has three children with him and thought maybe he would change.  People don't change unless they want to and he doesn't want to.  Therefore they both need to move on and hopefully be amicable for the children's sake.  Him dating I don't think made her jealous...he apparently told her he wanted to reconcile and then she finds him with an ex-girlfriend...may have made her jealous, but more than anything it made her see he is not willing to change his ways.

you have my support Erin

Quote From: erinmartin

We have joint custody.  It got so ugly, I simply said I can't fight anymore.  It did not go through the courts, and no one decided he should have them more, I simply couldn't take anymore emotional abuse, and wanted to be done with him.  I regret signing those papers.  As soon as I can afford it, we will be going back to court. 

Erin, 

I was at the show in front row a couple seats down from Scott before you went on stage....No one deserves the emotional abuse you have taken.  I am sad that you felt the need to sign those papers, but I totally understand your doing so.  Emotional abuse is worse than physical...bruises go away...Scott was really mad...sitting there I could see he was seething with contempt at the whole situation.  I wish you the best and I know your future will be bright.  You are a good person and deserve happiness.  Don't let anyone tell you different.

I was on the show with you Donna

Quote From: scary5

HI! I just want to say that I went to see the priemere of Scary movie 4 ! Dr Phil was EXCELLENT! He was funny, made fun of himself and was very convincing! The whole movie was great.  They spoof war of the worlds, the village, brokeback mountain and the Saw. The director, David Zucker did a wonderful job as he has with all his movies! I remember the first movie I had seen of his was "Airplane". Rent that! Great movie. I also want everybody to know, that Dr. Phil and his staff (HI Nicole!) are really caring people and care about you when the cameras stop rolling. Being on the show has really changed my view point about many things. Can't wait for Scary movie 5!...Donna

Hey Donna,

This is Laurie...I was on the show with you.  I drove the Nascar and was on with Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race.  I only got to meet you backstage, but I told everyone about you and your husband when I got home to NY.  I thought you were both so nice.  Hope you had as much fun as I did.  Please feel free to email me at mykidzmum2@aol.com

Laurie
