I get the same message that is there is an error. 

Sorry,  maybe it is just me, but I just copy and paste 

the link and I get this error. 

I watched today's show and it was worse than the previews.  The one thing that stood out in my mind was Ed's lack of involvement in the discussion.  When Dr. Phil asked him if he was prepared to get his daughter and make this work, his response was that "yes, I'm willing to work on this relationship" but he was referring to his and Brenda marriage, not the relationship with his daughter.  I came away with the impression that he would like for his daughter to just "go way"  so he doesn't have to deal with the situation.  He's a very weak person(he's not a man in my book) in my opinion.  He seems more concerned about his marriage the his daughter. 

thank God your family has her, and I hope she stays with them.  I'm a soon to be high school teacher and I see what children have to cope with when they don't come from loving homes.  And it's only getting worse. 

This is to Ed. 

Why are you even in this situation?  If I had a partner who even hinted that he would harm one of my children, he would not be welcomed in my home for ten seconds.  And I know my husband feels exactly the same way.  No woman would ever be allowed to come in and hurt our children.     I cannot understand you, Ed. 

This woman has told you she wants to kill your daughter--and she means it.  She has already done 

her injury.  What are you waiting for?     I could tell when Dr. Phil was talking to you, you still had your head buried under the sand.  You want the best of both worlds.  You want Barbara happy and to sorta be able to keep your daughter so people won't think you are a bad father.  Well, that ain't gonna happen. 

So, it's your first wife's fault for bad-mouthing Barbara?  You had the affair.  Barbara is very immature for wanting to hurt a child--to say the least.   None of the adults in this story is behaving well.  How can you expect more from this girl? 

And you, Ed, want to pretend things are not as bad as Dr. Phil says they are.  But you, my friend, are wearing blinders.  And you need to take them off NOW. 

  What this young girl is going through right now will register with her and stay in her character as she grows older. 

Your very actions, Ed,  have already told your daughter that Barbara means much more to you than she does.  Shame, shame on you. 

After she is grown you can have a relationship with any woman you wish.  

But now SHE has to come first.  And if that means kicking Barbara out, so be it. 

That is what parenting is all about. 

If you do not want to be a parent, then give her up for adoption.

Think again, even a teacher reporting can get bogged down

over a length of time or tossed for lack of evidence

in Michigan.  Check out the little girl in Holland Michigan

who ended up dead after a teacher reported abuse by

a neighbor?  Was this child protected?  NOOOOOOO

I can bet you the teacher has nightmares over what ifs?

My husband has been on my back for years telling me to get rid of this extra weight.  Many times I tried, sometimes with success but then the weight would come back on.  after 16 years and three kids my husband had an affair and the woman is now pregnant.  Was the cause of his affair because I didn't try hard enough to loose this 40 pounds?  It is too late now I will have to deal with this for the rest of my life and if this is finally the incentive i have been looking for to really loose these 40 pounds it is tragic for me and for my torn family.

Carcrash I want to tell you that your weight had NOTHING to do with why he left you. I am 5 foot and probably knocking on 180lbs and my husband loves me unconditionally. If your husband has been dogging you about your weight all of these years, what does that say about him? I think he was just trying to pull himself up by pulling you down.

You'll probably look back on his affair in a year and think how glad you are to be rid of him. ( who needs a cheat and someone that runs them down around?)

Didn't catch the name but...the Aussie that wanted to email with people...I would love to email with you. I am going to be 39 soon, so we are around the same age. My email is samwisep@hotmail.com. I hope to hear from you!

Samantha, chubby but working on it. :)
