I was disappointed in the outcome of today's show. I would have liked to have known what happened to these criminals, and if the people who lost all their money were ever able to get it back.

I for one would never have sent money to speak to you or Robin as I know that is not how you operate. But its people like this who prey on the ones who would have sent the money in and did. I feel sorry for them.

At the age of 15 I was raped by a family friend. He stayed at our home because of the distance to work. He was married with 5 kids. I was threatened if I told anyone what he did and when I was 15 (which was the late 60's) if you were attacked it was how you dressed or a certain way you led the person on. I regret that I never told my parents or anyone until I was in my 30's.  The harm this man did to me has been with me throughout my life. I wish I could go back to the day he raped me and I would prosecute him to the hilt. I never want anyone going through what I have gone through. I want him to pay for what he did but now its too late. So yes, prosecute this jerk and make him answer for what he did to your daughter!!!

I was married for 27 years and had been emotionally abused by my then husband and an adopted daughter for seven years. I finally got totally fed up one day and while he was gone I went to the store got new door locks, came home changed the locks. I then locked the doors packed his stuff and threw his stuff out the door and never looked back. I know what Dr Phil means when he talks about a person who is ready for divorce. I held no hatred for my ex  and can to this day talk to him and feel at peace.

I am now happily married and loving life! Bambi

Dr Phil,

I am so worried abt my daughter. She was in a 20 year marriage to a man who cheated and abused her both physically and verbally. She has no self esteem and they have 5 children. Abt 3 months ago she came out of her bedroom and found him and another man having oral sex together. She finally left him. I put her up in a motel for the night and then she went to her sisters home until he finally moved out. He moved to Texas and has not sent any child support money. She cries and threatens to kill herself because she can't make it. She said what holds her from doing it is her children. She applied for help from the state of MI but because she works 40 plus hrs a week she didn't even qualifiy for medicaid. I have asked her to get help but her response is I have no insurance and can't afford it. She moved out of her home about two weeks ago because she couldn't afford the payments. She went to legal aid and they helped her fill out divorce papers and child support papers. He was served last week and is now threatening to run so he doesn't have to pay. I feels so bad for her. I am proud that she finally got him out but I live on the west coast and she is on the east coast so I do what I can from here. But its hard. He calls and promises the kids things and then never follows through with it and its my daughter who the kids take their anger out on because he doesn't follow through with it. He is an alcoholic and a drug abuser and that is when he calls is when he's high or drunk and tells my daughter off or says mean things to the kids too. I told my daughter to not allow calls from him unless he is sober. But he calls when she is at work alot. Dr. Phil can you help my daughter get some counseling and her children.

thank you so much for your advice. I have been telling my daughter this. She no longer allows them to talk to him unless he is sober. But they need counseling and she has no insurance which makes it difficult when she is living on her wages from the restaruant. My husband and I help out as we can but my health is quite bad right now. I almost died in Jan/Feb so its been really hard on all of us because I am in UT she is in MI.
