Damaged for life

My next door neighbor molested me many times when I was five, on the day his mother came in the room, (my best friend was his sister) he got caught doing it, I was yelled at, he was yelled at ( he was 18) and the entire family moved away during the night. 

 

I have had uncles and brothers do the same things and have always had low self esteem, addictive behaviors that I fight hard to control, and severe depression. 

 

I feel "granpa" should be prosecuted and put in prison for one... granma needs to seek reality counseling and the parents should not see them again.

 

Grace will carry that all of her life, there are lots more kids out there now being damaged for life.... I have been through counseling, seen every sort of dr... new age, spiritual, you name it and it doesnt fix anything.  I have heard that I am handling it very well considering... well that doesnt help.  Child predators should be locked up, given hard time and NEVER released. 

 

Thank you Dr. Phil for not letting anything slide... I find that you are able to be polite, yet tell it just like it is... a very rare quality.  I love this show and I want you to know that I emailed the Canadian police with the details of the molestation (after 45 years) and hope to find out that the man is in jail or that just reporting it will help heal... something. 

 

It seems once a child is molested, it is like they are wearing a sign "abuse me"...that others can sense... I feel my life could have been so different had I not been sexually abused by the ones that did it.  Oh well.... I hope your show can help change the pitiful attitudes about deviant behavior and how it affects children.

Rude and insecure.... hers is what to do...

Quote From: icehunni_mim

Hi I'm Mim 29... my story is that b4 Trish married my brother inlaw Paul this yr 7th April 2007. I found her to be so very rude. I found that i'd always had to be the one to make the 1st move say Hi so on... The thing is when Trish see's me she looks directly at me & not even say a simple hello sit down & ask me how i'm doing or what not.. Trish Ignores me & doesn't acknowledge my presence when i'm around. The funny thing is she acknowledges my Husband Daniel & my kids Jazmina 4 & Azhar 2 but Not me. Its like she can talk to my husband but when I talk to Paul one on one she flys down so fast like an Eagle hunting a prey! I really think she's INSECURE with her life or with Men. I don't know but Trish has alot to choose from wether because I'm 8yrs younger then her, I'm Muslim born in Western Australia, Kalgoorlie,  Live In Perth W.A. I'm Asian of Indonesian Javanese Burmese Descent GOD knows what her problem with me is...  But my Mother in law & her Daughter pushes me to talk to her or she will make Paul leave because she feels uncomfortable honestly who's fault is that TRISH! Quite frankly i don't waste my time & breath with friends or family who ignores me be rude & don't acknowledge my presence when i'm around. Its like i have to put effort talk to her but Trish doesn't have to its so inconsiderate & RUDE! ya ain't worth it.!!

What do people think?

Mim 29 Mother of Two.

She appears to be the worst kind of insecure... ignoring someone of the same sex is blatent fear... and the fact she cant sit still when you speak to her hubby is too... the best thing to do is to always smile at her and put her on the spot.. speak up and say Hello "Tish"... loudly so that when she doesnt say anything back she will look like an idiot...

 

She wont do that after that.....

 

and put her on the spot when she comes to but in with your conversation, say " What is the matter Tish,, do you think I am over here  stealing your husband,,,,?? then laugh!!!!  Then say we were just talking about sports, is that ok with you (big smile, staring right at her) she will back wayyyyy down.. good luck, dont forget to do it with love in your smile... that will drive her crazy...

I think Grandma needs to get a life

I am sure the daughter in law is just plain sick of the whiner and the complaints, she has every right to keep the drama queen away from her children. She makes me sick. the daughter is coming off like a cold or mean person, but I really think the emotional manipulation was so intense, I cant beleive drl phil was on her side.  What a big baby, using the divorce as an excuse to try to take over the childrens lives.  It is none of her business what surgery she has, who she has look after the kids and basically if the son cant even stand being around this pile of gooo, why should the daughter have to bekind and sweet ?

 

Dr. Phil, couldnt it be possible that this grandma is used to getting her way by crying,and making up dramatic stories so she can get her way?  It seems to me the daughter in law has had to close down because she is always being interupted with total denial of the facts and never gets a chance to speak.

 

I felt you were unfair to the DIL, she has every right to keep the emotional pain in the neck MIL away from her and her family until the MIL gets help dealing with her depression, or not getting her way about the kids, heck the way it sounded she would like to move in and take over, move her out and have her son and grandkids back... what a crock of poo. The old lady needs a life, and it is not her responsibility to make her come through her emotional damage, she needs to get her self together and not expose the kids to her mess!

What a horrible Mother in law!

It is crazy women like this self absorbed, nightmare of a woman that ruin marriages. How dare she stick her nose in her sons bedroom! Why isnt the son moving his wife and child five hundred miles away from her toxic spew?  The manipulation, emotional torture and lies are coming from the mother and it is all the fault of the clingy horrible mother.

 

I hope you will stomp that witch down, what a big baby! Immature, sneaky and horrible...  come on Phil, dont let the "be on both sides" tactic sway you from the truth.

 

horrible women like that ruin hundreds of marriages by trying to hang on to the son.

 

My ex MIL is actually worse than her, caused the death of my daughter, the divorce (by telling my husband I must have been sleeping with every man on the ship) calling me up and telling me I better start having more sex with her son! Would walk in to the house at all times of the day or night.. but I blame my ex too... he never stood up to her.

What a jerk, sleazebag liar

Fred is a weazle, still lying about everything, is proud of the cons he did, thinks he is so smart... claims that he "had" to because he was a felon, so he kept commiting crimes, rationalizing his pathetic lies with bragging like... "at least I did a good job at it'... or 'I fooled everyone"...this guy needs his butt whooped hard, I cant believe that my wonderful Dr. Phil was so easy on him... Dr. Phil...why dont you kick his butt?

 

He is scamming you Phil, he is a loser, and just keeps piling on the crap, pile after pile, and it almost seems like he thinks he is on your show to pump his book, I really dislike the little creep.

 

I hope some official will see this show and figure out a way to charge him with something, get that jerk back in prison where he belongs! Come on Dr. Phil, cut this self promoting narcissistic, sociopath, psycopath and delusional liar... I am ashamed to be in the human race when I hear about people like him. What a piece of work, just lies, lies and lies... I am not a violent person, but I want to hurt him, like with a baseball bat, stun gun, pepper spray, duct tape... I dont know.. just hurt him... for the people that he has screwed over...

 

The kidney transplant liar is just pathetic, lonely or desparate for any attention at all, at least she admits she is a liar, but she too is proud of "fooling" the smartest people in the world... what a group of pond scum...

 

Dr Phil, are you a marshmellow now????

Gee I wonder if spiderman is fred

Quote From: spiderman22

 I am aware of the attacks on Fred Brito, and I can't believe that in our day and age, people are ready to stone this guy to death. Let us see exactly what it is that he is doing. He's a convicted felon! So what are his options? Become a homeless dumpster diver and get stabbed to death by a Crack-addict, for his cart full of cans? Or to go on Welfare and miss out on the little things which an average person takes for granted, and be forced to live in roach-infested run down neighborhoods with the drugs, gangs, and society's toilets? With his rap-sheet, he can't get a marginally respectable job anywhere. Let's see really what he's up against, and how really what he's doing is so wrong. The US Gov't, contrary to popular belief, is the most sinister and corrupt of Gov'ts. The first crop of agents who were recruited by the CIA, were ex-Nazi officers guilty of war crimes, but their rap-sheets were made non-existent; how convenient. The shady side of the US Gov't spends 500 billion dollars per year on "Black Projects" which the public (tax-payers) don't know about, because citizens of the United States trust their Gov't whole-heartedly. The people with power in the USA; accountants, stock brokers, police, FBI, bankers, lawyers, judges, politicians, city mayors, and many branches of the US Gov't, and Military are all corrupt; to a certain extent! But when these people of power come face to face with a guy like Fred, they become self-rightious hypocrates; all of a sudden they develop and flex their moral compass. If you think differently, well, then you haven't done your homework. Fred Brito is in the trenches, and is fighting for work. He is doctoring up false resumes and cons his way into good paying jobs; and from what I hear, he does them well! He isn't breaking any laws.  How is he so different than the rest of society? A society which thinks that it is cheaper not to spend money on rehabilitating programs that would give ex-cons a fresh chance to integrate back into society? A society built up to make ex-cons end up back in prison?

What, are you cheerleading for this liar? Come on!!! I agree that our government is corrupt, that the system is totally screwed up, but.. that doesnt make it right to con people out of money, or perform jobs that he is not qualified for, and I think it is breaking many laws doing what he did.

 

Hey, you want the government to be honest? Then register to vote and vote for Ron Paul, vote to impeach bush, have him charged with treason against our country and fight to get our rights and freedom back.

 

Criminals that break the law, hurt people and take things that do not belong to them, (like lives, property, etc.) belong in prison away from the good people that are honest and working hard.

 

Please do not let this jack azz off the hook, he is a weazle and should also be back in prison next to bush.

Are you insane? ex cons are working,

Quote From: bananasmommy

I've seen Fred Brito on another show, too.  It seems to me that Fred Brito is a non-vilolent ex-convict who found that, because of his criminal record, it was going to be impossible for him to become employed in the type of work that he longed to do, mostly positions of service and caring for others.  And this same thing happens to non-viloent ex-convicts seeking employment in this country every single day.  And we wonder why so many ex-cons end up re-offending!

 

Look at Fred's record -- he didn't try to scheme innocent people out of their last dollars.  He conned his way into the preisthood and other positions of service.  Was it okay for him to do that?  Of course not.  Were there people who were hurt by his deception?  Certainly.  I don't argue that what he did was right, but if you listen ... neither does he.  He knows he did wrong, and is now trying to use his life and experience to be helpful to others.  In an honest way.

 

I hope that people will try to listen with an open mind on Monday.  I think Fred Brito has an important message to share, about the fate of ex-convicts in America. 

I cant believe that this post isnt written by fred,,, look millions of ex cons are working in this country, they just dont start off making 280K a year!!!! They actually work for a living!  This guy posed as a DR., ran a legal company, a priest and is so proud of himself, thinking he is so smart because he lied and tricked innocent trusting people.  He is a jerk and his smug pride in his "so called" accomplishments is pitiful.  he defends what he did by linking it to a non existant issue using it as an excuse for what he did.

 

He lied over and over again, heck he said he wrote a book but what he did was steal someone elses book and just said he wrote it.  Fred doesnt have an important message, everything he says is a self serving lie... designed to remove your money from you and others because he thinks that he is too good to work for a living, is so immature that he thinks somehow it is ok that we all obey the law but he doesnt have to...

 

I just dont see why this idiot makes it on tv, when brilliant scientists that are actually doing wonderful things for the earth and humanity go ignored.

 

What a screwed up society we have.  The reason that jerk cant get a job is because he doesnt try to get one, he would rather pretend that he accomplished something and take credit for lying... remember tons of companys will hire ex cons... they just dont want liars, with fraudulant resumes.

 

hmmmmmm

Run away from the abuse

Quote From: nobraves

 Why in the world are you still there?   As Dr. Phil says, you teach people how to treat you...and you've done just that.  Get out!  You've got skills to get a job and there are many places that can help you through the transition.  Stop worrying about your daughter's modeling career and start talking to a lawyer.   You are a human being who deserves much more than a husband who has no respect for you controls you as if you were his slave.  Leave his a**.  Yes, it will be scary, but so, so, worth it, and you can do it.  It's time to be a self-sufficient adult dependent on no one and a mother who takes charge of the upbringing of her children, so they don't  take after their father and feel it's acceptable to treat others as he does or be treated this way.   Get a backbone and do it... and most importantly, contact a lawyer... more than likely, you are owed 50% of earnings acquired during your marriage - perhaps more if you retain custody of the kids.   I apologize if I came across as harsh...I only meant to be firm.   Best of luck...you are in my prayers.
Please respond because I'm worried for you and your children.

Get the heck out of there!! let "him him him" take care of him self.... and just dont settle for this pathetic excuse of a marriage..

 

Lots of people pretend their way into a relationship, and when they reveal themselves.... the other person leaves...

 

You have stayed way too long

What year is this??? Caveman on a comeback

Dr. Phil and Staff, How in the world did you find this caveman?  His ideas/beliefs are not only from another century but he actually defends his pathetic treatment of his wife and his views.

It is very sad really; he is living a life based in fear and self-loathing.

 

A person is intelligent whether they have had a formal education or not. I know many "educated " people that have no common sense or street smarts and many brilliant people, street smart, great common sense, compassion, original and dynamic.

 

These so called educated people can be so closed minded, get their opinions from the top ten list, follow every trend, quote people almost as if they came up with it and are just boring...

 

I saw the "who is prettier" test and am shocked, the Asian woman is beautiful, the black woman is also very beautiful and the blond is boring, but pretty.  I heard someone say the definition of beauty is the blond "Hollywood' look. YUK!!! My personal opinion is most of the "starlets" in holly wood look like prostitutes with fake everything... fake breasts, bleached hair, capped teeth, fake eyelashes, fake tan, fake butt, fake lips (injected with God only knows) and look horrible but all look alike!!!  Why people are insecure is beyond me, why they buy into the "one definition" of beauty is just stupid.  So much evidence of the opposite is true, so much has been said over and over that it matters more who you are, and what you look like puts you on a prostitute level...  People obsessed with looks only are a pain in the butt.  Either they are setting up, going to or coming from an appointment to get something done.  They are so absorbed by their "look" that they never had time to develop any other quality, they have never dedicated any thought or time to helping or be concerned about others or anything else but themselves so that is just boring and so one dimensional.

 

The husband that thinks he is superior to his wife, that he is or should be the leader, she must do what he wants or she can leave, is just a scared little boy. The fact that he pouted when she didn’t want to have sex with the person that just insulted her shows what an immature, small minded (and probably small everywhere and totally insecure about not being much of a man) self sabotaging, destructive person.  The more he insists that he is superior, or smarter it reveals that he doesn’t have the confidence and is trying to pull it out of others.  It is really sad, I am certain the wife is tired of having to poof his ego, listen to his insults and put up with his demeaning ways and can leave but hasn’t because of the child.  Dr. Phil will help this guy, I hope that he will watch the show when he gets home, reads all of Dr. Phil’s books and really "gets" it, change his life and attitude so that he life a more enjoyable life, and make the life of his family more valuable and enjoyable. 

 

The media and corporations spend billions of dollars to manipulate the people of the world with repetitive messages bombarding the TV, radio, newspaper, billboards and internet with these messages for financial gain by "selling" their idea of the ever changing look of beauty, (as long as it is unattainable to most) the description of success and dependence on products or material goods to support the quest for happiness is criminal.   The airbrushed glossed over images of Hollywood is so misleading and steers the public in the wrong direction... like.

 

Let all the blondes hair grow out the natural color, remove all the fake boobs, teeth, tan, and such, and put up for discussion the value of these so called stars... all they really did was memorize some lines, sing a song or pretend that they are somebody or something.  The athlete that makes millions of dollars to run, catch or throw... is put up on a similar pedestal but not because anyone thinks they are really great or deserve the attention. It is that the agents, arena owners, television shows, product endorsements and commercials pay so much money, that this group of so called businessmen hype up these players to the public so they can make more money off of the public.

 

The reason we are so drawn to this is because we are all fed messages over and over again until it becomes a topic for discussion, but really we are forced into being interested and some are more easily impressed, led, swayed or brainwashed than others, especially the young.

 

With that in mind, thousands of brilliant scientists, teachers, volunteers, inventors, writers and artists are being ignored, passed over and given none of the well deserved credit and respect because they don’t have a money hungry agent selling and smoozing them into fame and fortune.

 

Why Brittany Spears holds all of the headlines that she wears $500 a pair of underwear once, then throws them away and the scientist that discovered that the earth's axis was damaged/altered by the tsunami and did hundreds of mathematic calculations and figured out a way to fix it with a laser beam bounced off of a satellite station saving all of mankind should be on the front page but... was on the bottom of page 19... is a shame and an indication of where the priorities of this society are.

 

The government is robbing us in every way, selling us down the river and lying to us but we wont hear about it because the government uses the media to distract the public so they can get on with the corruption. 

OJ gets the Top story slot because he breaks the law, thinks he is above the same laws that all of us have to follow while the story of CountryWide Mortgage investing their employees retirement fund in Countrywide stock!!!!! and restricting the employees from selling their stock while the executives are all dumping theirs, gets the small time slot before the weather and traffic update.  PEOPLE, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP AND CHANGE THE WAY THINGS ARE. 

 

Just because everyone else gets a tattoo, a piercing, wears baggy clothes, drives a SUV and gets a big screen TV doesn’t mean that it is the thing to do, is not the definition of success, or happiness.  Stop listening to the commercials, lets all have a break and reconsider what we want and need out of life and then do it.  Think outside of the box, take back our government, be good to each other, learn how to treat our loved ones, friends and co-workers, think individually and put a stop to the greed and dishonesty in this country... Lets make it a better place for us all.

 

Dr. Phil really started the "cut through the BS", question the ways that are "traditional" and make changes for the better. We can join up with this new (and right) way of thinking and make things good again.

 

Best to all

Lacking a brain is no excuse here

Quote From: jilst126

Everyone else is dumb...his references should have been checked.  Was he embezzling  from the Red Cross?  He didn't steal someone's identity, he just changed his.  He's not sitting on the corner of an offramp begging for money...he's not selling drugs. He did what he had to do to make it. Let's focus on the people that are really, truly taking advantage of this world, eh? (like the lady wih the kidney transplant...she's the real villian, not fred)


Well speaking of dumb, if you watched the show, he was his references!! When they called to check his past references, he answered on of many cell phones and gave himself a glowing reference.  You dont have to make a choice that one is bad or good, or better, they are both horrible. And yes he did embezzle from the companies he worked for by pretending/lying about his skills, he took money under false pretenses... that is theft, there is no way to sugar coat it.  Begging for money or selling drugs are not the only options out there and it is just stupid to suggest that it is one or the other.  You are either Fred, his mom or his dilussional lover, being supported off the theft... The worst part of this is that he thinks he pulled one over and is smart, but he keeps getting caught and is so desparate for attention (doesnt matter if it is negative attention) that he brags about his stupidity and unethical scams.  He is a sociopathic loser and just doesnt have the mental or emotional capacity to realize that everything he says or does reveals that he is just the most pathetic nerd in the world and no matter what he attempts will never ever be in the league of Frank Abernoth (sp?) or any of the masterminds he apires to be because his frail ego will always betray him... This guy just doesnt have a clue and either do you it seems... since you are defending this bag of feces...
