I'd like to just say this to the "mother" who drives while intoxicated.

 

You may think you've never injured anyone (yet) by driving under the influence, but you very well may have.

 

I have someone dear to my life who was left paralyzed due to an "unidentified" driver who hit the vehicle he was a passenger in, causing a major accident. According to all the forensic reports the "unidentified" vehicle was traveling at a speed of 90 miles per hour. The "unidentified" vehicle would probably have little damage to their passenger side headlight area. The victims vehicle was destroyed. 

 

What I'm saying is you very well may have caused other accidents by cars trying to avoid being hit by you as you bowled down the road, and you either didn't notice, or didn't care.

 

 

 

 

"Most of the people who come to your show are in marriages that are beyond saving.  You provide all this professional help so that you can drag it all out for ratings."

 

If you've been watching the Dr. Phil show since the very beginning (and even when he was on Oprah), you would know his theory is that people need to exhaust EVERY avenue possible before getting out of a marriage. He says (clearly, just not in this set of episodes) that people need to "earn their way OUT" so they can have a very clear conscience that they did everything possible, and have no regrets later.

 

Do not get me wrong, I think Jennifer needs to get OUT OF THERE FAST! Faster than fast! And now Jennifer can say she TRIED EVERYTHING.

 

Now she needs a safe haven, and frankly I don't know that one exists. I hope I never read about her in a newspaper or hear of her tragic ending on a TV broadcast. She and the children are in danger.

 

 

My exact words to my husband as we watched this show, "take the car, she can keep the phone!!"

My H laughed, "she might fall into a pothole while texting" at least she wouldn't hurt anyone but herself, and she'd get what she deserves.

 

The mother is concerned about taking the phone, in case her daughter "needs her"...fine, if this were my CHILD (and let's remember, mom, she is a CHILD) she could keep the phone, and the texting, but I'd take that car so fast! Take the phone? So what. Then when her friends are in the car she can get distracted by them. The phone isn't the issue here (in my opinion) it's the child with a car.

 

 

 

I'm a fan of Danny & Gretchen's, as well as their two kids.  I know they love their kids, and I truly believe they love each other, they just need to calm down, and learn how to live together in a loving, committed relationship. Easier said than done.

Help them, Dr. Phil, they have a lot to move forward together for.

Does anyone know the name of the volunteer organization that was (briefly) discussed on this show?
