 Quote From: hardtruth I have written several messages trying to get this problem out in the open. I have been fighting with the courts for two and a half years about my children. My ex-husband began to "groom" my daughter and was laying naked next to her. All the therapist agreed that he was trying to molest her. I had all the evidence presented to the court. They would not re-open a case he had in the late eighties for molesting what I found out to be a two year old! They told me it was inadmissible. He admitted to everything and the court still let him have visitation rights with his Mother as the supervisor! What is wrong with our court system? They are letting our children get hurt when all we want to do is protect them! Why are they allowed more rights than our children. Where does it say it is in the best interest of the child to get molested, because that is what the courts are telling me. It is in their best interest to visit their father. They even had us do a psychological test that proved he had tendencies to be a pedophile and/or a serial killer. AND THEY WANT MY KIDS TO GO BACK THERE? The bailiff rolled her eyes at me when I stated what he did. Where is the justice. I have written DR. Phil a message about this. I really would like to see what he has to say, and maybe give us mothers some advice on how, emotionally, we are to handle this? I have spent over $15,000 trying to keep my kids away from him, but it has not worked yet, and I will never stop trying. If anyone has any advise, please let me know too. I am running out of options and my kids are running out of time. Erin M. I too had a battle with the courts, I took my daughter to counseling, something was scaring her to death, nightmares, her father entering our home, murdering me, blood all over the walls, that was her dreams, the dreams of my baby age of about age 8 or so!! Terror in her eyes, the telephone calls from his house, I would go to pick her up after her sobbing cry, I was told to get the F** out of his yard! I told him I am picking her up and I am not leaving until I do!! She would come out of the house, moments after her SOBBING telephone call, her father would ask; Where is my HUG?? she would go to him, no tears, then out of sight, she began sobbing and crying!! During a scheduled visit, a relative of mine answered the door, as I had offered her a place to stay, she babysat while I worked, my young daughter, she stated ran to a room! crying, she told her father that she was not home!! He was furious, I found out this info after getting home from work, to find her hidden in the back of my closet!! just crying, sobbing!! We went to court, no help! her counselor testified she is terrified of her father, then the courts ordered joint counseling for her and her "father"! As though the abuse would have been discussed! She was scared to death that her Mother would be killed if she told!! The courts did nothing, the truth came when she finally tried to take her own life at age 15, her sister was over 21, but the child that was under age, testified to flash back memories, the 21 year old never forgot! but she did not tell me either!! But that was about 2 weeks before the laws changed allowing persons over the age of 21 to testify, this was not bound over to Circuit court! But, as I was finally aware of exactly how horrible my babies lives had been, the legal system, in my case did nothing! Then the father brought charges against the youngest child, as her father showed up at her work place and she applied for a no contact order; still the courts allowed him to be free, suggested to leave her alone, but did not issue a no contact order! she lived and worked in places he would never be! Then, her father filed a lawsuit to obtain money for his legal fees, brought on due to the no contact order, finally I thought, since this was now in a different court, a no contact order would be issued, he would be arrested etc...! the laws had allowed my oldest daughter to testify etc... This Judge stated; I have no doubt that he did this to my girls, and he was never to be any place they were, if so? then a no contact order would be issued, no he did not win his battle for the $$, and again the Circuit Courts did not have him arrested!! Now my girls, my only children, consider him a sperm donor, but the courts, need a wake up, perhaps with Dateline programs, with the "To catch a predator" series, may improve, our babies are at risk from their own father's! Mother's working and most often the person who is doing the molestation is the very person thought to be the person that should have been protecting them, be careful to whom you marry, mine was a liar, did not work, (the old back injury) filed lawsuits to at least 3 employers so far I have heard, and is now beginning another for ??injury at work!! Those are the very people that get away with all this, they are good at waiting for the right moment in time, to assault the very smallest children, take advantage of loving caring woman, and then begin the cycle of abuse! We who trust and ignore our inner gut feelings, never thinking it could actually be the father of your girls who have done so much damage! Good Luck with Courts, but counseling is your best option, be sure to only release verbal testimony and then the counselor may speak during the questioning, even to the fear of the child, do not release written records, as that could have major problems for the child if the courts; once again, do not believe the child! Especially when the children that have been so abused, but are able to grow up and are NOT involved in drugs and alcohol! Thank You Lord! |

Quote From: dhhssux We are currently going through something like this in Arkansas and I'm floored that the state allows this kind of stuff to go on. I ask myself everyday how many kids have DHHS(CPS) ruined. 4 years ago my niece accused her stepfather of molesting her so her mother sent her to live with her grandmother, her mother didn't have anything to do with her for 2.5 years. Then DHHS got involved and made her have unsupervised visits with this man(he wouldn't take a polygraph test either). This child had night terrors up until 3 weeks ago when her mother finally said she won't see her again and she will give custody to my mother(the childs grandmother). Well, DHHS is making this child (she's now 14 will be 15 next week) have what they call a "family" meeting and hash things out. We've been throught this before about 6 months ago at the first "family" meeting when DHHS approved the unsupevised visits. Someone needs to go public with this travesty and stop this madness. I believe if this child is put through much more, she is going to crack. The DHHS office here is then making her go into a closed meeting with her stepfather, his lawyer and a DHHS person to grill her over her accusations. The child's lawyer or grandmother isn't allowed in there. What is that about? Dr. Phil please go public about our states Child Protective Services nationwide. Something is wrong with our system and the public needs to fight for our kids. I too had a battle with the courts, (Michigan) I took my daughter to counseling, something was scaring her to death, nightmares, her father entering (my kids and my) new home, murdering me, blood all over the walls, that was her dreams, the dreams of my baby age of about age 8 or so!!

Quote From: artictiger My son will be 3 at the end of this month (August) .. he's an unbeleiveable picky eater... I'm at a loss on how to have him to eat his veggies & other foods..... I should not fix two different meals just to sastify my son.. NOPE........ need help.. BTW... if he won't eat it.. then he'll just play with it or drop it/throwing it out of his plate/bowel My daughter is now 31, she has been a picky eater her entire life, it began while she was old enough to stop the "baby food". I was not preparing food I did not like, or did not offer and give her gravy on potatoes etc.. or different meats she continues with barely mixing food on her plate. Her children are a bit picky as well, I feel we have taught our kids to eat the way they do because of the "jars of baby food" and that was fine, for babies! After they have out grown this, they continue with just not wanting other things that look different, and the kids also enjoy the attention! My second daughter eats very well, she even eats shell fish, and everything including gravy etc... I used the little baby food grinders we use to be able to purchase at a department store; JC Penny was the only place that it was available back then!. I would put it in the diaper bag; I would take out the grinder even in restaurants, and grind up everything we had, she ate as we did, I can no longer find these handy devices, (I had used one for my Mom when I cared for her after a severe stroke! It was wonderful not to have to drag out a food processor, just the little hand grinder, until my Mom began to eat chopped foods! Sadly she passed away in 1999! But, the little grinder I gave to another "new Mom" but, for my youngest; when we went places, I carried a few jars of baby food, in case of spicy foods that would not have been good for her! She is now 24, and is not a picky eater! The first child, I tried everything to get her to try "new" foods! I finally let her eat what she enjoyed!! I do remember that if she did not like school lunch, she just would not eat it, she was very happy when they began the finally "fresh salad tray, all the raw carrots, lettuce etc.. the funny thing about that is she would eat salad but did not like any dressing!! But, at least she did have lunch those days, I use to make a bag lunch, then stopped; figuring she would be hungry enough to eat at school, but she did not eat during those days, the salad bar began as a once a week item!! She loved it, now thank God the salad bar is daily! My daughter grew to also allow her 2 children, to eat as she did, she also did not prepare items she just did not enjoy eating, so 2 more picky eaters, but as they are getting older, we have used a "try this new food game" they were rewarded with stickers, but of course this only works with little ones, just one bite! Good luck, but attention for not eating, is as good as it gets for little ones! Just offer the food, if they don't eat what is there, perhaps at least an item that they do enjoy, since little ones tummy's can hold as much as their fist, they may fill up on (green beans?) or something! stop giving so much attention, the child will begin to understand that eating or not, will not be rewarded with attention, if the child does eat something new; then pour on some needed GOOD ATTENTION! perhaps that may work, but remember children will eat when hungry, at times little ones seem to not eat well for days to weeks just picking at their food! Then after that, (a growth spurt) you can't fill them up! as I stated Good Luck, but they will adjust and may eat other foods, but stop pressuring the child, they will eat when hungry! |

Eating disorder is among one of many illnesses that people use to compensate for their low self esteem! Moms, Dads, children, we all at some point in our life have been hurt! We must grow up and begin to believe in ourselves! I have known self destruction many times, feeling worthless, (to other's it made no sense!) To us that were harmed as children we knew we were worthless, until we grow up, acknowledge that what harm that was done to us, is not our fault! Children are hurting too much! We as parents, try not to harm our children, but one word spoken in anger is held in the child's heart! I am a grandparent and I am angered by things my grandkids have stated. The words or actions by other kids, parents, siblings, all form who we are, at times, other kids are hurt deeply, as I was! I felt useless and ugly as well! I am a very curvy well built woman, received attention due to being curvy, I saw it as just being made fun of, and it was that way in school! as an adult I know I am a great person, with a great figure! and always have been, but self image is the problem for way too many, especially young girls. Pain from someone abusing little girls, the stats are supposedly 1 in 10 little girls, when I begin a conversation with other grown women, nearly each time, I can name 9 out of 10 that were sexually abused as children; some as young as 3, then you grow up feeling useless, as you are not a good person because the perpetrator blames the babies! I know I am now 50 + and have lived too long a life previously to knowing I was not at fault, I just found out that I was only about 3 or 4 when the abuse happened! I sort of asked others what year my parents began seeing a particular couple, etc... it was then, I realized my innocence was stolen so young! my self image is great now, but it did take many years, I mostly ate to be over weight, not so attractive to others, yet that did not help my self image, and I continued to be very curvy, no matter how much I weighed! |

The couple in the house is dangerous, the woman needs to get out! If she had an affair it was probably due to her needing to feel like she is loved, the ass that is suppose to be her soft place to fall is a raging bull, and he is a coward, he continues to bully her. She needs to get out with her children to a safe location, that suppose-d husband is nothing but a coward, he is incapable of understanding compassion, love, and i would almost bet he began his terror and control as soon as they were married, but it got worse after they had children! He wants the attention, He wants the love, He wants, wants, wants, The wife needs to get out while she is still alive, get her counseling as well as the children, the man is playing a game to offer what he thinks is the right answers! He distorted everything Dr. Phil stated on the 'show'! Get out with your children, receive counseling and be safe, find out who you are, so you can stop the cycle of getting into those brutal relationships! I would almost bet, the wife grew up, abused, exposed to abuse, etc... I can name 9 or 10 women who have survived sexual abuse! that does not even include physical abuse, the boys are learning the same role as their father! she needs to get out and with her kids! |

These women are allowing those men to control their lives, I feel those men have no honor in their heart for the women that I saw on your show! The title of the book; "He's Not That Into You"; comes to mind, perhaps is waiting for something better! He will use you up until you are not able physically do anything anymore, you are doing everything and they play! Just waiting for "perhaps the next woman to come along and then he gets married to her! Get out while you can. Pack up and move on, he will probably wine and dine another "wife" to care for everything because you are gone! |

Quote From: bang70
When my wife (we celebrated our 20th on 12/12.
We dated for six weeks.
She was talking to her parents about 3 weeks into our dating phase. My future FIL asked her what my intentions were. (he was trying to be funny, and I intentionally ignored that. I knew where the relationship was doing) I told her to tell him, "He'll know when the time is right." When we decided where it was going, I simply asked her as we walked out of a restaurant and headed for the car. I knew I was "marrying up" and knew I'd kick myself in the future. "When it's right, it's right." She has no siblings and two cousins. Guess who became the son?
Timing. I've written about this before. There was a prof who would give "sex talks" to various groups (e.g., dorm floors - we didn't have greek life). He pointed out that an engagement should be no longer than it takes to plan the wedding and hit the aisle. She & my MIL made very simple plans: one attendant each (her matron of honor did the taping) the grandparents, etc. We had a sit-down meal at a place specializing in such things.
I won't go into the details as it would be too long. Suffice to say, we spent the afternoon in the hospital's ER where we worked (and met).
Here's a couple of observations: 1) If you move in together, it's going to be difficult to move out & away from it because you have so much invested in items you've (each party) has brought into the shared quarters, and so on. Living together has absolutely nothing to do with getting marriage (see previous). If you live alone, have a discussion, you can kill the deal when it gets too messy.
2) Loss of freedom. <snicker> I've never felt so free. You double the joy and halve the bad. It's not as if I feel like I have to go to something with her because she went with me at some other point. It's not a zero-sum game (everything balancing at zero)
3) Guys don't understand two issues, married or not:
a) Every woman, conscious of it or not (willing to admit it), has a couple of (calendar) dates in the back of their mind, regardless of they are aware of it or not: some type of commitment to the relationship, whether it's dating exclusively, getting engaged, etc.
b) n.b. (nota bene - note well) Guys, this took me a long time to figure out on my own and I'll give it away for free: It has nothing related to marriage but related to any time she wants to "unload" about work, friends, family, etc.
(pardon the all-caps I've been around long enough to know when it's important and when it's not) When a woman talks/shares,
SHE'S NOT LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM SOLVER!
e.g., ("The next time that happens, here's what you need to do: yadda yadda") or ("Here's what you should have done")
SHE JUST WANTS SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO HER. (and she chose you)
If you can't keep your mouth shut and literally have to bite your tongue, do it. If you interfere with her sharing, she might as well buy a teddy bear and keep it in her bedroom and talk to it. It's not going to talk back. Stare deeply into her eyes which will let her know when she's talking and let her hold the talking stick (whoever holds the stick speaks) - it works well in a smalish group.
There's the obvious set of circumstances where she is soliciting your opion and after she's done, "Do you have any ideas?".
you have described marriage very well, the problem is that the people who are on the show have no idea what a real marriage is. I thank you for your wisdom and coming from a male, it would be great if men would read your message, but the ones who do need to read these messages will not take the time! Sad for them, as you said, twice the joy, and half the sad! Nicely done! |

There are way to many times we (women related to this post) are taken in by men who use us, sociopath's personality and learn to act by watching other people! that was my husband, I should have seen the signs, but I realize the old saying of; " we shouldn't should on ourselves!" I was beaten after about 12 years of knowing this man, well I thought I knew him, he literally broke my back and nearly murdered me in my own kitchen, we had been married for about 10 years!!! I realize now that he played at being a concerned person, in our marriage, the quiet personality, could not make conversation with anyone! He was power hungry and worked in a law enforcement department of JJ system! That was what was important to him, that and buying a badge that looked like a State Trooper's yet the words on it stated; "youth specialist!" but he flashed that all the time, power and control, he held his rage, blamed other incidents of his rage that I would see onto his father, telling me his anger was at his father telling me I was incapable of understanding a sociopath?? he was correct, I didn't understand and never will! I asked many times for him to talk to someone, or come for a walk anything to relieve some of the stress, well I thought was stress, he did nothing but show up to work the night shift, no lawn care, no house repair, lucky if he put in a screw; obsessive disorder, would not throw away anything, papers all over, kicked the dog for chewing up magazines once, when the dog was still a pup form the pound, I protected the dog, I was able to then! I am a kind caring person, who was taken advantage of, I was Blessed by God to be alive and walking, he nearly broke my neck, he did cause C4 to press toward my spinal cord, he also tried to strangle me, and fractured my spine, a piece or pieces of bone lodged into a nerve root, I was using a walker due to recently having a disc removed; so basically he beat up and nearly killed an invalid at the time! 2 days before Thanksgiving of 2005; I had married this person, a second marriage, the first was verbal abuse, then found out later he molested my daughters; I was never going to marry again, well 9 years between marriages I did it again, I am once againhappy being alone with my family and pets; but I suffer with permanent nerve pain from the assault! When I offered my oral statement in Court, he took a "plea agreement" there were about 15 so called men, before my husband, all for domestic violence! I guess I should say COWARDS instead of men, as cowards beat on the weaker beings, real men love their wives! Leave an abusive relationship as fast as you can, VIOLENCE is a horror no one should ever put up with! |

I believe that children with rage may have suffered some sort of abuse from someone? Most often at the hands of family or friends of family, babysitters or Uncles cousins etc....my daughters both were sexually abused by their father, I did not know of this; I feel guilty for not knowing, but my children don't blame me as I worked 3 jobs; (they both told the people from Protective Services that someone had to feed them)! I guess they (Protective Service) tried to blame me for allowing it, I felt he was verbally abusive, bad enough to accept! my jobs were: one full time and 2 part time jobs to feed, clothe and keep a roof over their heads, my "husband" claimed he hurt his back shortly after we were married and said he couldn't work? I believed him, he convinced the doctors as well, he actually threatened to file a law suit if he fell or re-injured himself! yet he would go and run his hounds into the woods at night? I felt so stupid after I was injured and truly have nerve damage, (no way could I have walked through the woods let alone hunt at night with dogs!) from a second husband's violence against me! the first husband was verbally abusive to me! I hate hunting animals; and prefer never to have been in a relationship with a hunter; I fought the battle of staying married to him or leave him for years, then asked myself am I better off with or without him? there were no answers on the with him side of the paper! So I finally left after 11 years, my youngest daughter began having night terrors, she would scream in her sleep! I took her for counseling for years, she punched holes in the walls, and never told, at age 16 she finally tried to take her life, and the truth came out, my oldest daughter stated that he had abused her as well, it started when my father was dying in the hospital and she was being molested in my father's house! what a low life piece of crap! My youngest daughter had flash backs, but the oldest daughter never forgot! I had told them many times, if anyone touches them where it is a private part of their body, no matter who it was for them to tell me, (I was sexually molested when I was 3 or 4 years old) I knew how an abuser worked, and told my children; my 2 beautiful daughters to always tell Mommy, yet they were frightened, because of the terror that woke my daughter throughout her young life? (she survived and is 26 years old) but; this all happened before the laws changed and the District Court did not feel that flash back memories were enough to bind over to Criminal trial, my oldest daughter was over 21 at that time, she was the one not allowed to testify at the preliminary trial! pretty sad state, now the girls would have to bring charges against him themselves! But, the only release of their emotions and the Circuit Court was when the "sperm donor" as he is referred to; tried to bring a law suit to retrieve his attorney fees against my youngest daughter! Crazy? the Judge allowed both girls to testify! Allowing them to at least confront him and the Court with the truth! The Judge of the Circuit Court believed the girls! My question is; the Judge stated he had no doubt that the abuse happened to the girls, yet he did not issue an arrest warrant there in the Court room! I don't understand that! My feeling for violent children, yes I suppose some can be just violent, but there is usually an underlying cause, even with my daughter receiving counseling, she never disclosed those memories to her psychologist? Fear, I imagine is the reason, and she knew her "sperm donor" had many rifles & guns! Sad situation all the way around, and before I married him, he had a; "favorite niece" who he always rushed to hug, she now has 3 or 4 children , and is unmarried as far as I know, and remains overweight! As are myself, & my children, well the oldest is now loosing weight with diet and exercise, my youngest daughter is at least 100 pounds overweight, and I too have about 30+ pounds extra on my broken body! Yes I worry about all of our unhealthy weights, have tried to ask her to walk with me, without mentioning weight, that would bring on more problems, just saying to be healthy and that is touchy as well! I had attempted this for years, but she, herself needs to want to do this, and she wears her emotions on her shirt sleeves! She did get married last year, and I just pray that they begin living a healthy life style, she works 2 jobs, and her husband is employed too, but no benefits for insurances; but she could seek counseling again, (Alliance against Violence is free!) receive counseling with the truth this time! I have done so and I am 52 years of age, I see now where many of my mistakes came from in my life, abuse at the hands of a teen age boy, on such a small child! (I had to ask my oldest brother what years my parents visited and went out with the parents of this kid; he said about 57 or 58, so that made me about 3 or 4 years old! I remember it as if it were yesterday! I was always the one who didn't cause any problems for anyone, in fact a real people pleaser, as you probably know Dr. Phil, if you read these blogs! People usually didn't know I was around, I was such a quiet child! Finally realizing at age 52 after 2 marriages to abusive people, I use to feel I did not deserve better; and married the wrong people even knowing I had done so, as I really didn't want to marry either one of them! CRAZY?? perhaps, but I feel a bit wiser now and will continue with support from our local Alliance against Violence workers in our small rural area! I hope they can continue receiving some tax money to stay in operation; it is $$ well spent! |

Men who belittle women, hit women, throw women are cowards! Get out alive! I know from experience the horror of one evening that changed my life for ever! I was recuperating from a disk removal, still using a walker, and he beat me unconscious, bent and twisted my spine, threw me to the floor with enough force I had a broken piece of bone lodge in a nerve to my leg! Thank God, it could have lodged into my spinal cord area and I would have been paralyzed; we had been married nearly 10 years, knew each other about 12 years. My then husband shocked the heck out of me; as well as the rest of my family! I now look back to the red flags I should have paid attention to, but he explained them away as against his father! I paid a high price for that, and his rage nearly got me killed in my home, his attempt to strangle me and break my neck was also a part of the assault, he accepted a plea agreement, and continues to work, but was to receive counseling and no contact with me, then a PPO for another year! He has a psychotic personality, in his mind he did nothing wrong, unless he had what Dr. Phil has called "black out rage" but he never apologized for nearly killing me, or hurting me; not that I would have stayed but that would at least made him more of a human being in acknowledging his battering! psychotic testing, batterers counseling, anger management! I feel he perhaps went through the motions, as he violated the no contact order by coming close to me, and of course he said he didn't see it was me! the only 2 people in the parking lot that day, me coming from the store he approaching me! A very scary personality to be out and free, someone else will end up hurt again or murdered in their homes as I nearly was! Violent people don't change their spots, I would bet he wouldn't have attacked me if I could have defended myself, he attacked an invalid! What a coward! Get out as soon as possible; I happen to marry a controlling angry man 9 years before the second marriage, I couldn't even take my children to Sunday School, stop to fix my Mother's hair without him accusing me of some mis-doing! I picked 2 wrong personalities, both abusive and I am receiving counseling to see why I am taken in and believe these people to be nice normal loving people! I believed them, but no more! I would rather be alone and safe than to be with someone who just uses me to care for them as a Mother! I realize that both these people were Mama's boys, and they looked for a replacement! They had one for awhile, I was never going to marry again, and I was single 9 years before meeting the last husband, sad sad sad, and I now say never again will I be married to another one! (can't call them men, as real men don't beat women!) |
