Hi Everyone 
 
When I saw the show on michael and bridgette. It made me wonder where Michael got a lot of his anger. I wonder if it came from the relationship Michael had with his dad. He probably got his anger from his own dad. The way Michaeals dad treated Michael would be the same way Michael wil treat his kids/family. You could bet that a lot of Michaels problems came from his childhood when he was growing up............... 
 
You can imagine doctors are under a whole lot of stress on the job especially when there out for so many days at a time. If Michaels attaining a lot of anger/ frustration from the job. Then all he would need to do when he comes home is find a place to aim that anger and frustration. Who else would it be. The kids, the wife or whoever is home at the time. I like to think of it as an overwhelming career. 
 
To the KIDS.... 
I highly agree with Dr. Phil when he said its not about you. Its about the parents and there own personal issues. The only thing they can do is Hold on and hope something for the better will come from all this.  
 
Bridgettes shopping is alomost like a cure. Shes feeling bad inside so she uses shop as a way to medicate herself to feel better. Shoppiing is her way of dealing with the problem. It gets her away and gives her a sense of happiness and accomplishment. She turns to shopping to vent the way she feels. 
 
Im glad to see there is the therapist in the home to hellp this family out. I hope Michael can attend. Michael is a doctor so there may be times where hes not there/home. I hope everything works for the best for this family I want to wish them all the best of luck.......
