My grandmother intervened in a relationship that was toxic to both me and her. My boyfriend became obsessive and i thought it was normal but it wasn’t! She made us break up and he called me 42 times in one night cussing me out and crying. It went straight to voicemail. If my grandmother hadn’t have broke us up, i would still be with this guy.. but since she has, i’ve learned a lot more about how love should be. I’ve also learned that as a teenager, I still don’t know what love is; I’m just happy for someone else’s company. I could never thank her enough for opening my eyes.

My daughter needs to talk to me a lot every day after school about what she has dealt with during the school day. I am extremely proud of her handling the most destructive peer pressure,and her willingness to let go of the “friends” who try hard to change her, sexualize her, and bully her. I am proud of her for recognizing bad behavior and for trying to protect the kids who have disabilities and are taunted.

my 12 year old daughter is obssessed with her 14 year old friend.. he is not her boyfriend cause I don’t allow them to date but she thinks so… anyways I have found out she has had oral sex and sex with him, he has admitted to hitting her and said he’s worried about her breaking up with him. She also has took an over dose of pills claiming it was a headache but I dont believe that for a second. I am not with my kids right now I am trying to get back on my feet and they have been staying with family..I feel like this is all my fault for not being there and the constant drama in their life because of their unstable life.I want to stop this because I was a teen mom and they know how important it is to me they wait til they are older.

I think that Sami is exaggerating her story, and trying to make you feel sorry for her. She is whining, and going WAY overboard. You can tell that a lot of what she is saying is the truth stretched. Ive had a girl live with me who is EXACTLY like her. Its so obvious she wanted you to pay for her Breast Augmentation. I cant believe Dr Phil is this blind. Shoulda kicked her off stage 45 minutes prior.

Thanks for this show. My 17 1/2 year old daughter is also obssessed with a 19 year old boy. I am not sure what to do, but within a week of ‘going with her” he was talking about watching their grandchildren playing in the front yard…he gave her diamond earrings within two weeks of them going out and I could go on and on….I just don’t know what to do…I finally put my foot down and told her she was not allowed to see him and of course she went behind my back…he is so obssessed with her that he told her to forget her family, forget her friends – it is the two of them and no one else…I am so scared…I don’t know what to do…she is leaving in a week to return to the states to attend college. She’ll be living with her grandfather and her older brother on the West Coast as I live in Europe…the boy will not return to the East Coast until later in the fall. Some said I should keep her with me as a continent is a lot father away than a few states. But I felt she needed to rejoin her friends…go to college, and obtain a job. I am praying that the time away from him and the return to her old friends will show her that there is a life away from his control. I am still so very scared…she has givien up all her dreams…what can I do…

Dr. Phil and Sami,

I went through the same thing Sami went through when I was 14. He was my first real boyfriend and to be honest I didn’t want to date him at first but he told me if I didn’t we couldn’t be friends. I quickly fell into the trap of being obsessed with him, I wanted to do everything to make him happy. He abused me physically and emotionally every day and I thought it was all my fault I thought I had to be doing something wrong in order for him to treat me that way. It got so bad he tried to kill me one day by strangling me to the point where I blacked out. I still blamed myself for that! sometimes I have that horrible little voice in the back of my head saying that it was my fault even though I know it wasn’t. He said so many mean things to me just to make me feel like I would spend my life alone if I didn’t stay with him. I had another emotionally abusive relationship after my first relationship but I quickly realized what was going on and I left. I’m 24 now and I’m in a relationship with an amazing man who treats me with the respect I deserve. I’m so happy now, it took a long time to get here and I had to learn a lot of lessons along the way but it is possible Sami please don’t give up on true happiness don’t let your abusive ex take that away from you!

My wife and I are at odds with our 16 year old stepdaughter. She has been dating a boy for over ten months now and they have been in so much trouble the last school year for kissing and hugging on school grounds that they both were suspended for a week from school. My stepdaughter and this fella are obsessed with each other. They stay on their laptops during the weekend from 3 to 6 hours straight ! They constantly text when we are out trying to be a family and they plan to move out together when they are 18. Neither one of them has any plans on what to do after graduation other than be together in an apartment of their own. No college plans, nothing. My stepdaughter keeps to herself 90% of the time at home, locking herself in her room and my wife says this is ok since that is how she acted as a teen. They are both good kids and have great potential but I think they need to chill a bit on all the love poems and computer time. Am I out of line ? I hate fighting with my wife on this and I want to give up.

I just finished watching the episode about Sami. I cried through out the entire episode. I went through a time when I was a teen that I did not want to be alone and did not want to be without a guy in my life. This happened when my Dad and I had a really bad falling out. Luckily I never got to the point that Sami did because I was surrounded by so many friends. I hope she is doing much better now. I also have to say that I am very glad that she did not want to have the part about her breasts deleted from the show. I have always had two different size breast. Since October I have lost over 50 pounds from just strictly diet and exercise and the different size of my breast is even more noticeable now. I have wanted to have this fixed since I was 13 or 14 years old. I am now 26 and with 3 kids, and still want to have this problem fixed but know that it is financially not an option for me. While watching the show today I was very relived to learn that this was an issue for other women not just me. This is something that I have never talked with any one about, except for my husband. I am hoping that finally knowing that this is not just something wrong with me will help me to feel more comfortable around my husband in an intimate setting, and also help me with my self esteem issue do to the way I look. So, thank you for not deleting that part from the show. Thank you Sami!

Parents need to raise their children together. What about the other side of the coin where the mother isn’t there for her son and he ends up being the controlling boyfriend the anyone’s daughter meets online?

Meeting Online is too overrated and so are shows like “The Bachelorette”, which this year shows a lack of trust. What kind of Role Models are these on tv for our kids?
