So sad for all involved

I feel that it became very clear that Christy is a very troubled individual.  She seems to have let her past demons come out and is now seeing abuse in every situation.  Yes, I believe that pornography is devastating to a relationship.  I also have seen first hand how a computer can be infected with it due to malware when my 9 year old son innocently "googled" his favorite Japanese cartoon series.  Wow, was that a learning experience and I learned very quickly about child controls and such.  Not to say I  believe that Stacy's husband is an innocent and was looking at Anime. 

 

My personal opinion is that Christy needs to seek a different therapist if she is having so much trouble resolving her inner conflict that it is harming others.

 

Stacy, take the help that Dr. Phil offers for your children, so that the cycle of abuse does not continue. Yes, they are abused, but by thier aunt, not thier parents.  Not sure if this has been mentioned, but a protection order against your sister wouldn't be a bad idea.

09/05 Family Follow-up

Quote From: hotmomma79

i'm watching this and i can't believe these two are sisters!  people who hate each other so much can hardly be from the same gene pool!  i would really hope that they could get this worked out so they can have a solid sisterly relashionship and their children can have a relashionship with their aunties.  this is just so horrible!  i'm wondering if there is even any hope for these two, holy cow, i'm waching as i type this and the accusing sister is just seemingly so out of control!  i think they need therapy together, but at the same time, the one who is doing all the accusing doesn't seem to want to be proven wrong, she just wants to be right and vindicated.  i'm quickly going from sad to disgusted!  help them dr. phil!
Therapy is certainly indicated but not together.  Never is joint therapy suggested in the case of abuse, and I do believe that stacy and her family are being abused at this point by her sister.

09/05 Family Follow-up

Quote From: diamondgirl216

Christy was telling the truth when she said that stacy  had called her to tell her about the cild porn on her husbands computer, like Dr. Phil said she truly belived there was abuse going on but she might have lied o twisted the truth to get her point across.

Actually the original reason for the phone call, as I recall, is that Stacey had found a pornographic DVD in the trunk of her husbands car.  She asked her sister to take the computer to see if there was anything else further for her to be concerned about.  Stacey never mentioned child pornography. That was Christie's accusation.

Why doesn't she want her daughter back

This is the question that is nagging in my mind.  Dr. Phil asked shannon why she didn't seek to gain custody, even feeling that her ex is the reason her for broken nose and blackened eyes?  He admitted to it.

 

At the very end, she is still saying she wants visitation so her other daughter can get to know the one in this animals custody.  WHY, is she still not seeking custody?  /boggle

Wake up!

This guy's way of dealing with issues is to cloud them by trying to throw blame back at those that are confronting him.  He needs to grow up and learn to be a man, not an adolescent.

 

Remember, when you are pointing the finger, there are at least 3 more fingers pointing back at you.

 

Sister, I have been there, you need to get out and find a real man.

More smoke screens

Okay, alot of posts are focusing on the wifes "alleged affair".  I feel this is more smoke and mirrors from Brandon.  Again I lived it.  My ex was convinced I had numerous affairs on him because his cousin told him I had flirted with him at a family wedding.  Can't you see how a person like this can have his own delusions or fantasies about events based on very fragile "hearsay" conversations?  In 17 years of marriage I was faithful.  Can't say the same about my ex.  Unlike this wife however, I did file a restraining order, got out and never looked back.  My children to this DAY ask me "what took you so long mom?"

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: ron8391

From a man's view, I agree that the husband messed up.  But...........it seems that Heidi has become the voice FOR Amy and it looks like Heidi doesn't want to lose Amy for a friend. 

 A word for Heidi, "TAKE A TRIP"!!!!!!!   Allow this family a chance to work it out.  No phone calls and around the corner visits.

I agree with this poster in that Amy is letting those close to her, control her thoughts.  i am glad she is in therapy.  This poor woman needs to find herself and discover her OWN thoughts, not her husbands, not her parents, not her best friends, but her OWN.

Life Experience Counts

At one point, Dr. Phil mentioned something to the fact that someone in thier teens or 20s just don't have the same life experience as someone decades older than they are. I feel that as we get older, our maturity levels reach about the same point, and this happens somewhere in your 30s or even 40s. So someone that is 40 dating someone that is 20, just is not going to work out for the long haul. But someone in their 60s dating someone in thier 40's has a much better chance as both parties come to the relationship with experience and maturity.

We need to teach our children, not poison them

When I was a child, I was at a park with my parents when I saw for the first time, a person of color. She was sitting on the dock fishing and I asked her "why is your skin brown?" Now my parents cringed, because this was at the height of the civil rights movement and Dr. King has been slain just months before. She told me "God made my skin this color and your skin that color but we are all God's children." Then she showed me how to bait a hook. I teach my children what that awsome woman taught me. Tolerance and respect and not to make judgements based on the books cover. What are todays children learning at home and at school, and as one person posted, at church? Instead of looking for trouble where it most likely does not exist, we need to learn cultural diversity. Learn about each cultures practices, beliefs and HOT BUTTONS. Nooses from a tree will certainly set off peoples that have had a history of intollerance in this country and hangings without trial was a common practice. Recently there was a debate highlighted in a nationally syndicated new column regarding the term "M'am." I was raised with this being a term of respect, a contracture of the word "madam" giving to the lady of the house or one deserving respect. Well for some in the black community is is associated with "mammy" or a term that highlights the past disrespect for african americans. On all sides we need to 'choose to diffuse'... teach our children about the different cultures that make this country wonderful and stop teaching them to LEAP UP at the slightest feeling of bigotry. If you feel that someone has slighted you, they need to be educated, not taunted with nooses, or beaten into unconsciencness. On the religious bent, why is it that the men and women of the cloth that are supposed to be teaching about Christ's love for all mankind; instead preach to their congregants to look for problems and make a stand without even reviewing all the details? Why does it always become a media circus? Dr. King was a humanist, a great man with a great vision looking for equality and tollerance. I feel he would be ashamed with those that are mimicing him in thier way and fanning the flames rather than educating. We all bleed red.

11/02 Teacher Sex Scandal, Pt. 2

Quote From: ludefisk

     I really believe that some young bucks like to play up thier hormones.  Although other teachers who look like barby dools have done it.  Something inside of me tells me she is not quilty.  Hopefully she can sue the guts outs ot those bastards.

       Make no mistake, if she is quilty, I want he to get the works.

I personally feel this is a case of small town minds and loose tongues.  Here is a woman that ended up marrying someone that was her teacher in highschool. Does that mean there was impropriety in that relationship?  That was never mentioned, but a small town in the bible belt, beleive me, there were alot of folks talking.  now don't you think the children of these parents hear stuff? So this teacher was allready a pariah, because of whom she married.  Yah, her replies were evasive and very "legal" but she is an intelligent woman that has learned, from years of defending herself; and has mimiced her legal team.  The boys, all three.. by admission or lie detector have shown that they were lying.

 

No amount of monetary comensation will ever help this woman or her family overcome the injustice that has been done to them in that "peyton place" town of theirs.
