Nichelle, I would like to think your apology was sincere, but I'm having a hard thinking it was. Your behavior on the show showed me what kind of person you are, a very ANGRY young girl. I hear a lot of whining from you; you don't know what it's like, walk in my shoes, she makes me so mad, etc. Well, I DO know what it's like, I DO walk in your shoes, and yes, my son makes ME angry as well. He is 17 now, do you think it has been a easy road? We got his dx when he was 5.5 yrs old, and at that time, I didn't know where to turn to. I didn't have a computer, I felt all alone. Did I even once THINK about hitting him? Calling him names?? Thinking he could change his genes and be "normal"?? NO to all the above. I figured at that time that since pws was going to be in my life, I better educate myself to know what I was dealing with. I have learned so much, and with that knowledge, I have had to educate not only family, friends, but also teachers and even Dr's. There is so much with pws besides the food seeking and behavior, there is the skin picking, lack of vomiting, not running a temp when sick,among other things.
You say you went on the show because you needed help, and couldn't deal with her. What I saw from your behavior was a attitude. I believe you wanted everyone to feel sorry for you that your daughter was so out of control. I think when you realized that wasn't how the audience or even Dr. Phil was going to see you, you didn't know what to do. The tears were a nice touch, but I'm sorry, I didn't buy it for a second. If that was me, and I really wanted help as much as you claim you did, I would of said, HELP ME, PLEASE, I don't know what to do!! I wouldn't of made excuses as you did. Your first post on here, before the show even aired showed me you STILL have a attitude, and this was after you had been on the show and was offered help. Could it of been the reason you contacted the Dr. Phil show to be a guest was the free trip they offered to California? One only wonders.
I hope you contact Carolyn Loker. I know her personally and she is a wonderful person. Her daughter is a doll, and you might be able to see what/how other pws kids can be, with love and understanding. I might run into you sometime at a meeting if you ever go to the Michigan meetings, as I live in Michigan as well. I sincerely hope you get the help you so badly need.
handle it by myself. Dont come down on someone that had the nerve to even come forward! its a good thing! I HAD THE "BALLS" TO SAY ON NATIONAL TV WHAT EVERY OTHER FRUSTRATED PARENT IS THINKING, AND I WASNT SCARED!!!! be a jerk if you want, but i think I just opened up a whole can of worms...youll see. TUNE IN!!!! 
the meanies who hadnt even seen the show yet. Thanks so much to the nice, positive, people who left such great messages. It IS appreciated. "you get more flies with sugar then with vinigar" (not that anyone wants flies! but you get my point! :)Thanks again to everyone.
