Dear Coryn, 

I pray that as you learn and grow that you will "SAFELY" escape this relationship.  Your boyfriend is known as a "Pitbull".  It may take about 3-4 years for him to portray his abuse towards you, however, he will release his anger slowly in a domineering and threatening fashion.  He will also appear to be "Charming" until he aggressively attacks you.  This man has a fear of being alone and he will not let go of his victims.  (Fear is the force that provides battering with its power, and the injuries to the victim help sustain that fear).  This man will be more dangerous to leave in the long run...take caution.  An Anger Management Class will not help this man, and he needs to continue his Battery Intervention Groups...However, he will bite again.  Please take the advice of your family and friends.  I can tell by watching Dr. Phil that this man is dangerous.   

Gina,

At some point in our lives, we are all guilty of impatience.  When I am driving, I think that the world evolves around me.  I wish that I could play bumper cars and push all of the stupid drivers out of the way.  The reality is...it is not their problem that I am an impatient driver, and I wait til the last second to get to my destination.  I am trying to undo my road rage by pretending that I flipped-off an employer/ friend.  Where would that get me?...fired!  Try on-line shopping because if I ran into you at the grocery store...we would have a major cart war.

Dear Dr. Phil and staff,

It is encouraging to know that the, "Dr. Phil" show does a Christmas giveaway.  It brought tears to my eyes because giving is a bigger blessing than receiving. 

I am in a less than fortunate situation, but I never give up faith.  My husband has been away from home for four months so that he can provide for the family.  We are living without some basic necessities so that we can get by.  He truly is a wonderful man and I wish that he could come home, but we cannot afford it.  I cry every night because I miss him.

A few years ago, he was stationed in Iraq as a civilian so that we could make ends meat.  Now he has to take jobs out of state to provide for the boys.

When I am not in college full-time, I work to compensate for our income...but we are just not getting ahead.  We keep going further and further behind.  We are law-abiding citizens, and hardworking; yet, we have nothing to show for our work.  Please do not misunderstand me, we never look for paybacks...it is just hard when you are sleeping on a mattress on the floor with barely any money to pay your bills. 

I just wanted to, "Thank You" for doing the show, and it reminds me to never give up my generous spirit. 

Tyerra,

I give recognition to you for following your dreams.  Even with the loss of loved ones, it is a comforting feeling to know that you are not alone.  I give kudos to Dr. Phil for believing in you...as much as you believe in yourself.  I am proud to see you  as a  spokeswoman for your college, and I know that you will become a remarkable nurse because you have passion.  Keep emulating a positive role model for all of your children.  Remember when you get to the top that giving back is the best feeling in the world.

"It is a crime!  And by her getting arrested I can GUARANTEE you that she will never leave her child or children alone ever again!  She needs to face her wrong doing and learn from it instead of trying to get people to help her make what she did OK." 

I agree with your post and it is disheartening that the parents on this board are minimizing their behavior.  Children are not pets that you can leave alone at home or unattended in a vehicle (not that I would leave a pet unattended in a vehicle).  As I stated in my post, it is my opinion that leaving your child unattended for one or two seconds is not appropriate behavior.  It does not matter if your child is left unattended while you are 30 feet. away...that is neglect.
