fighting

Wow, i cant imagine having 5 cents to fight over.

Anyway I think Linda is in the right here. She took in Aunt Virginia, and took care of her and gave her love and companionship. Where were the other girls? Did they bother to offer their homes, did they bother to turn their lives upside down to take in another person? No they did not. They were even too sorry to call and see how she was doing.

As someone who does care for other people i am totally on Lindas side. She did what was necessary to take very good care of her Aunt. I do not feel in any way that she manipulated her aunt in any way to change the will. This woman seemed to be in full control of her senses right to the end and she decided to change the will on her own. Who knows maybe she realized it wasn't fair to leave the bulk to one person, maybe in the end she realized it would be better to split the money equally, even including Lindas children who was there for the aunt also.

 

I think this fighting and bickering goes way beyond the money. Each girl needs to take a look at themselves and figure out what they are really mad at and solve their problems before it is too late.

Me and my sisters will never have that sister relationship due to circumstances beyond our control. We are more aquantiances than sisters. I would give all the money in the world to have a real sister relationship so if there is any way to get beyond this bickering do it before it is too late.

The bride just sat there the whole time with this smug look on her face. Man i just wanted to jump through the screen and slap that smug little look right off her face. This man (and I use the term man loosely) will regret what he is doing to his mother. He can have a relationship with her without involving his wife if he so chooses, but what he chooses is to be told what to do by her.  Jay, you need to get a backbone before it is too late and your mother is no longer around. Stop letting your snooty wife tell you what to do. You only get one mother and once she is gone there is no turning back the clock.

research

Quote From: blgspc

Folks, if your husband can shop for live bait and tackle, purchase some stocking stuffers and buy some Birth Control while youre in the SAME area having SURGERY you are going to the WRONG dang place for ANY KIND OF SURGERY!!!

Im not for one moment, excusing the MD-Jan Adams- who made that practice seem normal and/or appropriate. Just from what was revealed on todays show this guy seems integrity-free! Blaming patients for a botched surgery is SICK!!!

However, this is a Buyer-Beware world we are living in and while everyone hopes that every MD that they encounter is, at the very least, capable of some measure of ethics and a code of conduct that will at least leave them unharmed, physicians are people, too! And, Im sorry to say that money is just as big a lure for the unethical MD, as it is for anyone else.

I so totally agree. I mean really why didnt these women research this man better and who in their right minds would go to a strip mall to have surgery. To me that is just nonsense. Any one with common sense would know to research and make sur whomever was going to be cutting on them was board certified and had lots of credentials at a reputable hospital. But then again these women talked to this man several times and they trusted (falsely) that they would be in good hands. However a warning sign should have been that his practice was in a mall. That should have been enough warning.  Most good reputable doctors will have their credentials where they can be seen and can be checked out.

This in no way excuses  this so called dr for butchering these women. He should not only lose his license to practice but he should be in jail.

A wonderful Show

Dr Phil and Robin,

    I loved your holiday show. It was one the the best shows ever. I love that you helped all these people who los everything in the fires. I dont care how much money you have or dont have, it is a horrible thing to lose everything you have and while these people can rebuild their homes, they cannot get back priceless treasures like photos and things that money cannot buy.

Your show today had me in tears and awe. You and Robin are great people and I hope you keep on having your show for many years to come.

 

Awesome Job!!!!!!!!

Judgemental people

Quote From: tenij47

Why would you talk so much trash...do you know the people you are talking to ?  Do you know what you are talking about...I am 60 years old, have degenerative osteo-arthritis, fibromyalgia, bhronciolitis obliterons, hypertension, an irregular heartbeat , constant muscle spasm syndrome and worked two or three jobs all my life from the age of nine until everything went so bad from working so hard all my life and raising four daughters on my own...I cnnot stand for very long, or even sit in one position for lengthy periods...it takes forever to type because of the arthritis and a disconnected thumb from beibg robbed 12 years ago and fighting to keep them from taking my purse as I had just cashed my check and I needed to buy groceries...Who are you to judge people ?  Of course I want to be able to get things for my two Grandchildren...I would not want all the crap they gave away today, but boots and sweaters, and hats and scarves and underwear would be awesome...books or cd's...for less than the price of one of the items given away today my Grandkids could celebrate THEIR first Christmas in three years...Don't you think I haved begged Vocational rehab to help retrain me...But I am TOO OLD according to their guidelines. Think before you accuse or speak or "Judge not lest ye be judged "! I neither drink nor do drugs...Heck I can't even afford to take all the med's I am supposed to take...But I steeped up to the plate and I keep a clean house, cook their meals each day and sit down and do their homework with them, take him to scouts and her to Choir practice or play practice and I LOVE THEM and WISH with all my heart that I could provide more for them...It is not entitlement...it is a prayer ...and may God forgive you for your superior and judgemental attitude. Have a very Happy Holiday.

 

I know what you are saying. I am 46 yrs old and have pretty much the same things you have. I also have fibromylgia, A degenerative disk in my back, irregular heartbeats and tendonitis and bursitis in my right shoulder and knee.

I too strugle everyday wishing I could do more for my grandkids as I am their only support. I do have a job and it is a struggle everyday to crawl out of bed when you are in tremendous pain and go to work everyday. I do it because I have too. I am so sorry you are having such a hard time finding a job you want so desperately. And just because we want stuff for our kids and grandkids I do not feel that we think we are entitled to it.

I work my butt off every day, and yes I would love to have what they gave away on the show yesterday but I do not feel any sense of entitlement.

People need to think before they speak and not be so judgemental especially when they have no idea of another persons situation.

I too do not use drugs nor do I drink and never have.

 

I think Dr Phil and Robin are great and I loved the show, and who knows what other help these people got after the show, maybe they did get the other necessary things like underwear and things. They got gift cards so they can purchase a lot of what they need.

I am truly thankful for people like Dr phil and Robin who do help needy families. They are great.

Not feeling a bit sorry

Quote From: jajmj07

so many people who are feeling sorry for themselves.  if you put more energy into doing something to CHANGE the way things are - instead of thinking you are owed sympathy - maybe things would be better for you!!

I to would have loved to have been in that audience and i am not ashamed to admit it. We are not freaking feeling sorry for ourselves and it really pisses me off when people just assume they know what they are talking about. The other person was right, what about the hard working people who do work their butts off daily not only at a real job but at home also? We dont feel we are owed a thing, we just wish things were different.

I have several disibilaties, but I drag my self out of bed every morning and I do go to work, some days in enough pain to choke a horse. I work my butt off to support my 3 little grandsons, who through no fault of their own, have no other means of support, and I work daily to support my beautiful neice whom my sister didnt want because of the color of her skin. I live paycheck to paycheck barely being able to make ends meet. I support not only myself but 6 other people as well. My hubby is disabled as is my daughter, the one with three kids,  leaving me as their only support as they have deadbeat dads.

I dont feel a da*n bit sorry for myself because I am proud of the fact that I work, however I do feel sorry for the kids. I do not feel any sense of entitlement or feel that the world owes me a thing.

I am tired of judgemental people who just assume they know it all.

deja vue

This former beauty queen sounds so much like my sister. She too will do anything to get drugs including selling herself. She has done this for years and even had a child from prostituting herself. I am raising that beautiful child who is now almost 12 and a straight A honor student.

My brother is also a druggie.

I agree that the mother also seemed high as a kite on the show. Not only does the daughter need serious help but so does the mother and I hope they both get the help before it is too late.

And on the one who attacked the father, there were many warning signs during her childhood that the parents chose to ignore and now they want to blame anybody but themselves and their daughter.

Daughter has Bi-polar also

Quote From: moms_losing_it

My husband and I have been married for 25 years. We have two healthy, smart grown up children.

Our 24 year old son finished college and got his doctorate degree in Pharmacy. He married a wonderful girl this past May.

Our 21 year old daughter began college right out of HS and moved out on her own last year. This past August, she moved back in our home. She was diagnosed at the age of 16 with Bipolar Disorder. She has quit college and is working part time. When she moved back home, we gave her 2 options, eithre pay $50 a week for room and board, or help with chores. She opted to help with chores. Well, neeedless to say, she has not kept her end of the bargain. She goes out drinking with her friends, and I have found out she has been drinking alone in her room. She has admitted to me she has tried cocaine 2 times, but swears she does not do it now. She has a stack of bills rubber banned not even opened sitting here and all her bills are in collections. My husband and I made her a deal when she started college that IF she finished and got her degree, we would pay for her entire schooling, but if she did not finish and dropped out, the bills were hers. We are in a great deal of college debt for her because she said her college bills are OURS. Our son is paying for his bills from college. She always says "I'm sorry I'm not as smart as my brother", and we always assure her she is not in any competition with him, nor do we expect her to out-do her brother, but rather be herself.She is very disrespectful, self-centered, irresponsible and unappreciative to my husband and me. We hate to kick her out of the house because we fear because of her Bipolar disorder she will harm herself. I have tried talking calmly to her about things and her  snotty reply is "DON'T WORRY ABOT IT! I'M 21!" I feel like I am going to one day lose my cool here with her. I have even prayed to God and told him, "People say you do not give us more then we can handle. Well, I am putting my life in your hands and I ask for guidance and support"

My daughter is 27 and was just diagnosed with Bi-polar also. She was cutting on herself a lot. She doesnt do it as much as she did. She also lives at home with me and I cannot get her to do much of anything. She doesnt pay anything and refuses to do work around the house. When confronted she says she didnt know what to do because I didnt tell her. That is so frustrating because at 27 she dang well knows how to clean and cook and all that. She is just totally lazy.  My younger daughter ( who has 3 kids) also lives with us. She was diagnosed with Anxiety disorder and something else, plus she has fibromylgia and chronic migranes. When asked why she hasnt done anything around the house it is always an excuse also like I was too tired or my head hurt. I work every day and beleive me I have enough problems of my own both physically and mentally. I too am terrified of just throwing these girls out because I do not know what will happen to them, on the other hand maybe they would grow up and learn to do things for themselves.

It is like being between a rock and a hard place.

My daughters are also rude and snotty when I try to talk to them.

Smoking

I too tried to quit smoking and with the new drug Chantix I almost made it. My husband wasnt very supportive. Our bedroom is very tiny and he likes to go in there and smoke and have a dr. pepper before he goes to sleep and he refused to not smoke around me. My daughters didnt help any either. I know how hard it is to quit. I have been there and tried to quit. Quitting is easy it is staying quit that is impossible.

Chantix

Quote From: turtle55

   I,too, was a smoker forever.  I have now been smoke free for 11 months.  I used Chantix and it was wonderful.  Please have your guest try it.  44% quit using it, and it is pretty much pain free.  I have never done a message board, but am really passionate about sharing my quit story.

I too took Chantix and it is great to help you quit smoking but once I was through the 12 weeks I was right back to smoking. So for 45 dollars a month it is not worth it because once the drug is out of your system you are right back to smoking. I am not the only one that has taken this drug and as soon as the 12 weeks are up are right back to smoking.

Congratulations on your success.  I am very happy that you were able to quit and I truly hope you never pick up a cigarette again. There are a lot of people that do quit when they take the chantix unfortunately I wasnt one of them but I am thinking of trying the Chantix again.
