Grandma is charged in a way

Quote From: wrightchoice

PLEASE....... For the LOVE of LIFE........ TELL ME- WHY isn't the GRANDMOTHER CHARGED with an accomplice to her Lil' Grace's RAPE........??? THIS IS SICK AND SHE(grandmother) to, should be charged and spend time in jail reconsidering WHY she thnks she needed to play GOD. SHE(grandmother) is a very SICK person to protect her husband and not her granddaughter. The SOB should be castrated & left to bleed to death.

 

WHAT IS THE SAYING? One an ALCOHOLIC ALWAYS AN ALCOHOLIC.... Same goes for this. ONCE A RAPEST ( MOLESTER) ALWAYS A RAPEST. He may go through the time BUT I SPEAK FROM EXPERIANCE....... YOU NEVER HEAL FROM BEING VIOLATED... PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

 

As far as I am concerned, he has probably done this in the past and never goteen caught. SICK-SICK man. I can hardly beleive thatneither of them are still in jail, let alone PRISON........ let some man 4  or 5 times his size have his way with him and let's see if he feel the same way ......... And his comment...... I didn't know that it wasn't ok...... WHAT A CROCK. I would be ashamed to have him on your stage.

Thw Wright Family.

She too can't see Grace until she is 18.

 

Its a shame grandma is still with grandpa.  I wonder how many other children he's done this too.  Grandma must be a cleaning lady of sorts... she tried to sweep this under the rug, and instead, Grandpa had to wear a rug (his fake beard & hair) to confess to Dr. Phil. 

 

I agree once an alcoholic always one.  But this man took an innocent victim; a 6 year old... crying and screaming "Grandma why didn't you stop this."  Grace has a wonderful mom.  Grace, that is your safe place to fall.  And yet Grace told Dr. Phil she misses her grandpa.  Children have a forgiving heart even if its for someone bad.  Dr. Phil gave Grace a perspective when she misses grandpa.

Dr. Phil, they need the drama

What else would this family do or have?  If they go to counseling, could they comprehend what needs fixing?  My family had brunch the other day and we didn't act like this.  We were glad to see each other.  OKAY there was drama.... someone took the last bagel.

 

LOL I listened to your video blog regarding this episode, Dr. Phil.  Your dog has more sense then this family... give him a bone or one of your socks and he's happy.  Plus your dog knows sit or stop yapping.

She'd miss the drama...

Quote From: luvbulldogs

OH MY GOODNESS! This man is CRAZY!!! Jennifer is afraid to leave because he WILL hurt her. This situation is HORRIBLE! I hope Dr. Phil can help her be safe. She needs to leave RIGHT NOW. Her husband doesn't love her and he probably has NO IDEA what LOVE is!  He thinks he can act this way because he owns her. He doesn't view her as a human being. I feel so bad for her and I understand why she hasn't left yet. Good Luck, Jennifer. I hope you can leave safely and I hope your husband goes to jail for a long time for all of the stalking, etc. that he has done. He deserves it. What a loser.

If Jennifer left Jeffrey, how would she survive without the drama?  Maybe she is into being treated this way.  She is constantly crying. 

 

Jennifer, you have to save your kids and yourself.  Don't walk, hop or skip................ run.  Allow yourself, Jennifer to live your life.

 

Jennifer, if you allow Jeffrey to treat you this way, your kids will feel this is how you treat a spouse.

 

Jeffrey just commented, when they fight Jennifer calls him bald, fat and has a small you-know-what.  Maybe he should speak to Bob for some male enhancement.  Jeffrey, you're psycho!

so.......

Quote From: joedad4559

       while watching the broadcast, there were a couple of things that struck me oddly. First SHE did cheat on him not once but twice, and it was completely glossed over by everyone one the show. He(the husband) is completely wrong in his behavior and in his attempts to rationalize his behavior. But if my life partner had cheated on me twice that early in the relationship, I would not, nor would any of you out there, trust anything that she said or did, PERIOD.

       Secondly; after she knew what type of behavior that he was capable of; she continued to have some type of relationship with male co-workers, she was deceptive about it to her husband. she even tried to justify her going out to a bar with this male co-worker behind her husbands back. While the husbands behavior is way over the top and probably dangerous, she is just as guilty of escalating the situation.

      I am very disappointed in Dr. Phil in this point that at no time did he ever say to the wife that she was wrong to cheat, or lie. If it were the other way around that is all we would hear about is how the liar and cheater is helping to facilitate this situation. There is nothing that the husband can say or do except to check himself into some type of facility to get the mental help that he desperately needs. The wife should not use that excuse that she can't do any better than she is, get out no matter what you have to do, PERIOD.

Women can't have male friends?

Depending where you live

Quote From: iluvmybabys26

You know while I was watching this show it reminded me of how my husband was, I even sent an e-mail to the show hoping Dr. Phil would give my husband an eye opener.  He never bullied our children, they were very young at the time, but they did witness him bullying me constantly.  Yelling, Screaming, Pushing, and continously calling me a high and mighty bi%@! or a stupid f-ing bi%@!. 

Why did I stay?  Well everytime I went to leave SUPRISE I was pregnant; I didn't have a job, I quit college, and I had other kids to think about. 

 -Who was going to hire a pregnant woman? 

-How could I live off of $8.00 and put my kids in dar care? 

-How could I better my life by going to school when I would have to work and take care of  3 kids on my own and still spend time with them?

- How could I keep things stable for them when there father would be gone and I would be gone working all the time?

For these reasons and a lot more I stuck around.  Thankfully we had an eye opening experience after I did leave him last September and he has been in counseling and sober.  I feel for women in this position, when they are being bullied (not the kids because no mother should be ok with that for any second of any day) because if they have little kids they feel stuck.  I have been there and did that and I refuse to ever go through that again.

You can get food stamps.  Affordable housing.  Free training of a skill.  If you have a handful of reasons to take the abuse, on the other hand there is no excuse to stay.

Jeffrey's Business

Do you honestly thing Jeffrey still has a business?  If his clients or whatever deal with him, there is a problem.  They are supporting his behavior. 

 

He needs to get the help Dr. Phil is offering, however, Jeffrey's eyes are shifty.  He looks like he wants the control even with the therapy

 

LOL about the pancake reference, Dr. PHil.  Jeffrey has too many nuts in the batter -- on both sides.

 

Dr. Phil, I hope you can keep Jennifer and her children safe.

Common Sense

Quote From: vicky63

 I'm not going to comment on the first three points because, as you said, "they stink". ;)  But the last one...excuse me?  What degree did you say you had?  Where, exactly, do you keep Jeff's chart?  You can't say that unless you have the degrees and have examined him YOURSELF!  Oh, and by the way, they only gave him three weeks of treatment before they brought him back on the show.  That is not enough time for assessment, drug trials and treatment.  Drugs don't even kick in for a month or two; and even then, they have to re-evaluate his progress as they go along to determine whether they need to increase/decrease or change the RX altogether.  During this time he needs observation, counseling, behavior modification, group therapy, etc.  They can't give him all this in three weeks.  He has a physical problem with his brain and this CAN be treated, but he needs time and patience...something he was NOT given on the Dr. Phil show.  If anything, it's quite possible the drugs he took made him worse...made his anxiety worse.  There is no way you can state as a FACT that "Jeffrey will never be past this obsession" because even his doctors can't tell you that at this point.  Yes, right now he's a danger...but given time, patience, and cooperation he can overcome this and I hope he does.



If enough people in your life tell you that you have big sharp thorns, you're going to believe you have big sharp thorns and you're going to act like you have big sharp thorns.  If enough people tell you that you will never overcome this, you will believe it and give up all hope. 

There are too many people in this world who would rather be right than be safe.


Common sense doesn't come with a degree.  If it did, than why is Jeffrey so irrational?  If he is so smart why did he watch her every move?  Violate restraining orders? 

 

Your second paragraph makes no sense.  If you let people classify you, thats your perogative.  But Jeffrey has no excuse.  What about a conscience?  I guess Jiminy Cricket was wrong... its a shame though.  Jeffrey didn't "give a little whistle" he didn't let his conscience be his guide!  He was a plain controlling and manipulative man that got caught in the end and is now behind bars.

Dr. Phil how do ya cook a flax seed?

Dee Dee you look great.  You're making great strides on weight loss.  I hope you don't mind if I take some of your gumpshun.  I have a lot of weight to lose and am afraid.  I have problems sleeping and take an ambien to fall asleep.  I take high blood pressure meds and metformin.    You are proof it can be done and it is a journey.

 

Dee Dee, I frequent a diabetes chatroom on yahoo (room 2).  If you ever care to join us, along with your family, Dr. Phil and the exercise guru, they are a great support system.  I am not implying you have diabetes.  They are very nice people.  OK I am watching the show as I type this.  i had no idea you where getting a lap top... this is funny.

 

Thanks Dr. Phil for showing us its a journey, one step at a time and put down the cheeseburgers and sugar!

Curiosity

Quote From: michelyne5

I am an obese.....

 

I am 46 years old batting with obesity since the age of 10. first diet at the age of 12 i was put on ww eating fish 5 nites a weak ... i was then 172 pounds and the goal was to be at 112.....my mom could not let me gain weight so she deprive me of food.... except that she did not change any family habits and the food in the house was very poor quality.....

 

So i have been going from diet to diet for 34 years now loosing thousans of pounds  but more importantly loosing my heart  and my mind..... so sick of this life of mine.....of course i have attain a goal weight  a lost of 115 pounds only to gain it back and more.....

 

In january of 2006 i decide to get help an i have had lapband surgery..... since then i have lost 80 pounds.... once again i taught i had found the magic stick how wrong i was....yes it is a tool for controlling the amount but not the quality of food .... so how good is it ..... everytime i reach my lowest point in my weigh in years i sabotage myself by gainning 10 pounds back.....i hate myself for doing it ....... when i am in control of my food  and thinner i feel like a million bucks..... and then i ruined it all......WHY.........i am so tired of life and myself......will the rest of my life be spent thinking of my image  and food..... if yes i don't see the point of me going on anymore..... my only  hope is to find psychologic help because i don't know  how to stop these taughts of suicide.....

 

Why is everybody and by that i mean goverment, industries  and society  is looking for a miracle pill to loose weight and not for the psychological aspect because from what i can read and ear it is all in the head.....

 

 

HELP""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Every time I try to lose weight, I give up.  I realize its not "dieting"... its a lifetime change.  Unless I am willing to make the changes in my eating plan for good, the weight will win. 

 

What puzzles me are magazines.  They show beautiful cakes on their covers and then in bold letter "...how to lose 10 pounds in 10 days".  Weight losing companies sell desserts.  Dr. Phil, why do they do that?  LOL, can we have the cake and eat it too?

 

Dr. Phil that comment you made about eating the cardboard instead of the cereal.........priceless.  I use splenda also, but its the other stuff I eat I "gotta get real" with.  If cardboard is good enough for a goat, maybe it is good enough for me.

NAAFA

Quote From: batts74

Two and half years ago I weight in at 454 lbs. I since have lost 220 lbs. Yeah, I know how wonderful. But I have never been so depressed. I absolutely hate my life. I have no intentions of gaining the weight back don't get me wrong, but I have spent tons of money in therapy just to figure out how not to commit suicide. And I know I am not the only one I am currently in a support group and there are others who after weight loss are fighting the urge to commit suicide as well.

 

I have also had plastic surgery to remove some of the excess skin that doesn't help. It makes you look better on the outside, but its on the inside that counts.

 

I really wish that Dr. Phil or anyone would look into his the negative effects of weight loss. But I figure no one would be interested in knowing that there is a down size to lossing weight.

There is an organization called NAAFA.  NAAFA is an advocacy group for fat acceptance.  I think we have accept ourselves no matter what others say about us.  Maybe while we're working on the tush and tummy, we should work on our thought processes?

 

The reasons you explain, the skin removal, wondering if the weight loss will "save my life" and knowing I can never have pizza or Hershey bar, tells me even if I try to lose weight now, its not gonna happen.  I'm putting food over "matter.".
