I have listened to this show twice at work, and have seen it on tv at home once.
I do understand where Erica is coming from......at the same time, I "think" her father is "trying" to reach out to her.....the last show I caught, he walked out mid-show. That right there told me that he can't handle the "real" truth and deal with her questions and what Dr. Phil had to say.
This man did murder his wife......the girls mother. I will NOT sit here and judge him, nor her because I do not know either. I can only give my opinion. Erica was extremely brave to face her father - the man who admits murdering her only mother. Yes, he may have been on some serioius drugs.....I do not excuse that.....but, I will say this.... A person does NOT act normal when they're under the influence, he must of been on some serious drugs. I do NOT excuse him for one second. Take it from someone who was in a horrible domestic situation when my Ex was on drugs. A totally different person!!!
He will have to live with what he did. If Erica chooses to move on without him, more power to her.....The ball is in her court! Her dad is a totaly junkie - hooked on hard steet drugs!
