This episode was amazing! If a couple needed his help it was this couple.

Perspective is the key when you look at things negatively they will be negative and such an overwhelming situation can wear down even the strongest people!

I'm so glad he got  them some assistance.  They need to be in contact with the school district or child find in there state to see what additional services are available to them as parents of special needs children. There are parental support groups and advocacy groups out there that can also provide support and assistance.

There are places that will even provide trained respite care so the parents can have a "break"

They need to stay strong and UNITED. They need to build in more supports, communicate better with each other and work together as a team. 

I was so glad for them to know Dr. Phil was able to help and provide them with so many supports and services plus the trip! How cool was that - they need and deserve it !

I hear that constantly from my family- you need to lose weight it's not healthy on and on-

I'm 5'3" and currently at #225 I have been heavier after having my kids #280 tops and down as low as #140 but diets don't stick my lifestyle as a single mom, full time teacher and full time grad school student don't leave me much time to do much else but family, work and school.  My weight is up but my blood pressure is fine, cholesterol is fine and I feel OK with myself.  When I look in the mirror I see someone pretty I don't see the FAT person everyone else apparently sees. I notice it when I see a picture of myself but when I see it I don't believe that's me! I shop at Lane Bryant and am ok with myself.  I have had hard times dating and keeping a boyfriend but that was when both heavy and at my lightest of 140 so to me that shows size doesn't matter it's been my choice of guys.  Dr. Phil I want to know where these guys are and clubs are..so you can hook me up! They aren't in Reno Nevada!

This lady really ticks me off.  There are some of us out there that couldn't even get one decent guy and there are women out there playing games that really makes me angry.  Stop playing games and make a decision.  Either back out or pick one.  That nice one that's married to her needs to get a back bone and tell her to take a hike! 

My boyfriend was totally this way. For 2 1/2 years I put up with hearing about this greand idea or this great scheme...we only have to do this, we only need this, if we only use this for that...on and on it went.

Yes he worked - he had an income but was constantly plotting and planning his next BIG money making scheme... I noticed it when we met and I thought it was cute - he was ambitious - as things went on I though well maybe he just has bad luck as things he would try failed for one reason or another. I was also taking the toll as together as a couple - these things consumed all his free time and was starting to consume our finances as well - and it started out small then grew into more things - and more larger things...(INvestments)  

ok well he would get mad as I got skeptical or told him it wouldn't work let it go...and things turned into fights/arguements...Money bcame the center of everything and the lack or loss of it.  He would tell me it would work we'd have so much it was worth it to do...He'd make it right and pay it back to me...

2  1/2 years I had to leave him.  I was 35,000 in debt (thankfully that was all) and filed for bankruptcy. I had to be strong and stop it - Things over and over were repeating and not getting better.  I left him and got myself on track.

I'm now rebuilding my credit, down sized many things to get caught up, paid off all back bills and am even.

I have no real credit card debt I can't handle and am finishing graduate school as a single mom with 2 boys under 12 at home. 

I knew and have known for years if it sounds too good to be true it is...There is NO SUCH thing as get rich quick.  They have ploys and marketing techniques that pray on people';s weaknesses hopes dreams and desires.  They know people are in crisis - in debt to their eyeballs and beyond and yet continue to pray on them.  Desperate people are easy marks.  Be strong, work hard, make and have a plan is my best advice.

if that person is you STOP IT...if that person is married to you  you need to have a serious fierce conversation with them about it  and if you can't take it - leave it...My life has totally turned around - totally for the better...I'm a teacher I tutor on the side when I can - I budget, plan etc. and make things work. I have also found GOD and attend church regularly this has also helped make things easier  and changed my views on many negative things      Am I rich and blessed - in many different ways than with money  YES :)
