I had one question after reading the online version. It does not say if the kids will be separated from the mother for a period of time while she gets help. The father needs help-he is afraid of her too. Remember the show with Sheila and her husband who was alcoholic? they were separated but her behavior was physically violent. This Mom is a time bomb. I wish they would take the kids away from her and maybe live with their Dad and then they can get help individually and as a family. Can she really change enough to raise these kids?  I just can't see them all going home after the show and holding hands and singing Kum-bay-yah. Please follow up on this one. Her frustrations, I don't   think she will change soon enough for these kids. They will not feel safe with her.

Why is this woman so angry?   Obviously she must have something in her thinking that sets her off this way.  But she can't possibly know the damage she is doing to her daughters.    She says she hates everybody.  Why?

I would have no problem telling Michelle to her face what I have said on the message board.  I grew up in a home where my dad beat my mom almost daily and I suffer from depression, however:  I chose to deal with my problems rather than say "oh well you have to like it or lump it"   I have two little girls and I don't yell and scream at them, even when they can get on my last nerve.  My Mama is the sweetest little darling on earth and she is also a rape victim.  So don't try to feed my this load of garbage about not being able to help yourself.  These innocent children deserve so much better.I think Dr. Phil needs to give Michelle's children a voice because they are truly helpless.

Who is going to be the one to tell Christie that she is obese?  I am so tired of hearing I have tried every diet and it does not work.  It is very simple.  If you consume 3000 calories and do not exercise, it shall turn into fat.  You cut back your calorie intake and exercise religiously, the weight will come off. 

  

I can't believe Dr. Phil did not point this out.  You are not doing Christie any favors by not pointing out diet and exercise do work.

Please...women are the ones with the wombs and unless they are raped they are 100% responsible for pregnancy.

I am not the cleanest person, I fully admit that.. I know that part of my issue was that the cleaning got too overwhelming for me. I also have learned that a major part of my lack of cleaning has to do with depression/anger, etc.....  

  

Once I started to deal with those issues I was able to get the kids, school and the rest of my life in order. I am not saying that my house is super clean now. It is better, a lot better. I have to have anyone ( the kids a friend or whoever) be there when I clean. They may not do anything, just be there and talk with me while I clean.  

  

I clean twice a week, each time it takes me two hours. The other days I do things like laundry, to get ready for the day I do a deep clean. I still hate it but now I do not live in CHAOS ( Can't have anyone over soon!).  

  

I know that many people are going to be annoyed by this women, I see her pain and I also see his pain.  I know that pain. The pain ( emotional) can be overwhelming. There is hope. Just do the work.
