I also felt badly for Kevin. He really needs to clean up his act. But it seemed as though his wife just thinks she is perfect. I got the feeling she expected Dr. Phil to chew her husband out, but not her. She seemed almost surprised that Dr. Phil even suggested that she had a roll in her bad marriage.

My parents also had terrible fights when I was growing up. It is awful. I hope those 2 go their own way, and decide to divorce. Then maybe poor little Penelope can have a decent childhood.

I really don't see it the way you do at all. I totally think the wife is an instigator and likes to argue. Every suggestion Dr. Phil gave her, she shot down.

 If her husband was abusing her so badly, she would have gone out the front door and kept on walking. She's going to just stay because he took her keys? Oh, boo, hoo, hoo.

I didn't believe  anything she said.

I did not feel confident that either one told the absolute truth. Dr. Phil looked as though he felt that way, too. I don't think we will ever know what really happened. Something did, but it is not clear what, and nobody knows but them.

The teacher and that student seemed very insincere to me. 

You are making assumptions that she is innocent and getting mad at Dr. Phil because he questioned her reactions? You're kidding!!

That boy was not innocent, but neither was that teacher. Dr. Phil looked disgusted with both of them, and I don't blame him. There was more game playing going on there than you would find in any ball park.

We did not get the right story from either one of them. Or the husband either, for that matter. What a bunch of sickies!!

Dr. Phil is nobody's fool.  And he is a trained professional. He had every right to question that teacher's response to the accusations being made against her.

The way any of us respond in similar situations is irrelevant.  I can't believe somebody took the time typing such a long post to tell us.

Im sorry, but I just don't agree with your opinion of Joelle. I do think that Matthew was dishonest, but so was she.

She had no business having any student to her house, ever. And a sleepover? Absolutely the wrong thing to do. In this day and age, those are 2 things an intelligent teacher would not do. Especially a female teaching teenage boys!!

And then she wrote those secret notes in code. Is she nuts??? I mean she actually wants us to believe she is so innocent and doesn't know why these boys accused her.

And you want us to respect her? I don't think so.  Dr. Phil knew a lot more than he could say on the air. I'm convinced of it.

You are so right about what you're saying. I am a baby boomer and my Mom and I fought every single day when I was a teenager. She hated my clothes, makeup, and the way I combed my hair. We just had so many typical mother-daughter issues.

She died of cancer in 2000. I was able to tell her all of the things I had never told her before. I feel like crying, as I'm writing this. I was also lucky enough to tell my Dad everything I wanted to, before he died. They both knew how  much I loved and appreceiated them. I miss them every day. It's so hard.

I tell this to my 12 year old niece, when she gets bratty with my sister, that her Mom will not always be here. It goes in one ear and out the other. It's sad that it has to be that way. They don't get it when they are young. I was no exception. My parents were always supposed to be here. Well, surprise. They're not.

I'm sorry about the loss of your Mom. God bless you and help you through this difficult time.  

I really don't see any resolution for this family at all. It was frustrating because I still can't figure out why they hate each other so much!!

However, I do have a prediction for the future. I don't think that Jay and Michelle will ever last in their marriage. I think Michelle is a self-righteous little brat. She seemed to take great pleasure in telling Jay's Mom that she could not come to the wedding. She only said it 20 times.

And I think Jay is so whipped, it's not even funny.  But some time in the future, when his life with Michelle is a train wreck, he'll be seeking his Mom's comfort. The wimp. How can he let his future wife treat his Mom like that??

Also, why would Michelle want to marry a man that is so hurtful to his own mother? If she were really a woman mature enough to marry,  that would bother her. This couple is no more ready for marriage than a couple of high school kids would be.

That's my prediction. This marriage will be a nightmare, especially for Jay. It serves him right.   

You are right!! Dr. Phil has said that so many times. He has also explained the reason, and it makes perfect sense. The controller does not want their spouse complaining to their family or friends. They might advise the one being controlled to leave or fight back. That interferes with the plans of the controller.

The controller wants their spouse to depend only on them, as much as possible. It's really sick. And as I watched the show today, I thought Michelle wants to control every single thing Jay does.

I can see her after the wedding. She will never want him to go out without her or hang with his male friends. Their life together is going to be all about her. I really think he will one day curse the day he married her.

I am also white and I will not associate with people who use slurs like that. It really offends me, too.

Remarks about race, religion, or sexual preference that are unkind, is something I do not tolerate in friends or family. I applaud you!!!
