What a cutie!!!! I can’t wait for my grandchildren to arrive(no one is pregnant at this time). I can see the joy in erica’s face & dr. phil also, I think it is a good stable thing to have her wrapped around her precious little finger, & I bet she has quite a grip. (lol)

What a joy to be grandparent! I have 3 wonderful grandchildren and I absolutely love it! They lived away for a few years and I had to see a therapist! So fortunate that Avery lives close! I love your show and Robin is so aspiring! Keep up the great work and I can’t wait for the new season! Barb from Pittsburgh!

Dr. Phil, I am happy for you and Robin. I have a redheaded grandaughter that I think looks just like me. I am also redheaded. Her name is Kylie and we have a special bond. She lights up my life. So I know how ya feel about being a grandparent. Nothing like it. Today is the first time I have visited your website. I think I am going to enjoy it. I have watched your shows off and on for years. God Bless you and your family.

That is such a sad story. This family does need professional help. I wish I could help. The only thing I know to do is pray that they will get the help that they need. Prayer works wonders. Only God can fix this situation. Go to church Susan for a start.

Dear Robin and Dr. Phil:
I do not have anymore ideas fresh out on what to do or how to handle my 27 yo daughter? She is the mother of 3 lovely girls, 10,6,and 3yo. She has no motivation to be a Mom to them and it it breaking my heart. They live with me and I am a disabled RN. There is no real interest or child support from the fathers,yes, you heard that right. The 10 yo father denies she is his and yet has been court ordered to pay child support. He works under the table and never pays a dime. The 6 yo has 5 or 6 mommy’s in her life and my daughter lost her related to drugs when she was 18 mons. old. The 3 yo. Daddy is in prison. I am all they have and I am disabled and 55yo going on 75 yo somedays. I love all of them dearly and my heartaches for the pain…that these little ones have lived thru to this point in their lives. Mom is depressed,has no motivation,and physical as well as psychological problems with drugs. She has no interest or motivation to do anything with her life. She had dreams growing up of having a family,marriage,children,home to share her life with and now I think she has totally given up. She sleeps most of the day and is up most of the night. The 3 yo has developmental problems she was born at 25/26 wks. she’s a beauty inside and out though. If I told you my story and theirs you would not believe it. It is worse than a soap opera. I am almost at the end of my rope as to how to help these children. I only know that they need intervention and help but I have little money to help them other than I provide a roof over their head and do the best I can to take care of all of them with the resources I have but my resources are not enough. I pray for them daily and for me too to continue to have the strength to take care of their needs. I have no rights as a grandparent in Florida, the judge told me so….that hurt and was terribly frustrating. I truly need some suggestions and yes, I have tried to reach out for community resources to no avail …what should I do? I love them with all my heart including my immature,depressed,physically and mentally depleted,(spoiled?/perhaps) daughter. The girls all have different fathers. My daughter had a MENSA IQ or should I say has a MENSA IQ but has chosen not to use it for her and her children’s betterment. She also has strong self esteem issues stemming from when she was a child and abused. And as always the viscious circle continues, a circle I have tried to fight with all I have to break for her and my family. Can you somehow help? Is there help out there for my grandchildren and daughter? I do not care about myself only them. I have lived a good life for the most part. I have been blessed but they have not and I beg you please to help before it is too late for them. I no longer know what to do to help them? I feel like a total failure as a parent and grandparent and have no one else to turn to for support or help. Like I said though it’s not about me it’s about them. I have tried Tough Love but somehow I have even failed at that. I would be very grateful for any ideas or suggestions or help you might have I love my grandchildren and my daughter and I am open to suggestions. Thank-you and God Bless you and your family. starsinhereyes54@yahoo.com “Susan”

Dr. Phil, 23 years ago, I smoked some crack and afterwards molested my cousin whom at the time was seven years of age. After being released from prison, I moved into an apartment with a woman who knew about my conviction. Approximately 3 weeks after moving into my apartment, my lady friend’s neice was left on the ground in front of our door by her mother (whom was on crack). I was left alone to take care of her. This was a moment from God! I knew this was a moment to help me to recover from guilt and shame. This was a moment to help me with the process of forgiving myself. As I changed her pamper, I remember thinking “what would a father do in a situation like this?” I remember thinking about how sick it would be for a man to touch a minor inappropriatley. It was a strange moment for me. I remember feeling a lot of gratitude. I remember how difficult it was for me to look a child in the eyes. It was hard for me to look into the eyes of little boys and girls; even though I’ve never molested/thought about molesting a little boy. It was difficult for me to connect with my grandaughter. Today she is six years old; and we have a beautiful relationship. I love my grandaughter! I call her “grandsugar”. After 23 years, I am still being condemned by most of society. I guess I can live to be one-thousand years old and this charge will never be expunged fom my record. I’ve gone to apply for jobs of which I know I qualify for; but the prior conviction prohibits. I go to different support groups where I share this experience. I’ve told the Pastor of my church. Some people reject me; and some people embrace and thank me. I’ve had the opportnity to make ammends with my Aunt. She said she forgave me a long time ago. Thank God she is a Christian! I’ve made one attempt to make ammends with my cousin. I will make another one soon. I did a little research on pedophiles and child molesters. I have a better understanding. We all are sick (sinners) in one way or another! If we can’t say or do anything to help one another, do’nt say or do anything at all! I watch your show on 08/17/2010. One lady gave a comment stating that all child molesters need to be placed on an island and throw away the key! Allow me to give one example of how most of society condones one sickness and condemnes another: A man goes to jail or prison for molesting a child, most inmates despises the molester and believe that justice is done when they attack/kill the molester. Some of them believe justice is done by raping (a man inserting his penis in the rectum of another man) the molester. Most of society accepts and approve gay marriage, but child molesters are despised. I dont understand the mindset of most of society. I guess its somewhat like the way the pharisees and teachers of the law would point fingers and judge everybody for their sins; but minimized/never exposed their own. I’m powerless over so much Dr. Phil. As-long-as God stays on the throne, I’ll be fine. Thank you for allowing me to post this comment! Looking foward to being on your show!

I REALLY LOVED THAT PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR FIRST GRANDCHILD IT’S LIKE HEAVEN ON EARTH. I KNOW WHEN MY 2 BOYS WERE THAT AGE THAT THEY HAD ME WRAPPED AROUNDTHEIR FINGERS TOO. I WISH THAT I COULD GO BACK AND DO THAT NOW WITH MY TWO BOYS. MY BOYS DON’T LIVE WITH ME AS OF RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I’M A VERY BRITTLE INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETIC AND RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO BE WATCHED TWENTY FOURS HOURS A DAY. I’M A VERY SICK YOUNG WOMAN. BUT WHEN I DO GET BACK ON MY FEET I’M GOING TO FIGHT TO GET MY 2 KIDS BACK. THEY ARE NOT IN THE SYSTEM THEY ARE WITH FAMILY MEMBERS. I’M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT MY YOUNGEST SON BECAUSE I KNOW THAT HE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT’S MY OLDEST SON THAT SCARES ME TO DEATH ABOUT WHAT MY EX MOTHER IN LAW IS DOING TO MY SON. HE’S ONLY NINE YEARS OLD AND HE IS A VERY SICK YOUNG BOY. HE HAS ADHD, MILD TO MODERATE RETARDATION, AND HE’S AUTISTIC. BUT I KNOW THAT HE IS DEPRESSED BECAUSE HE’S NOT WITH ME. HE MUCH RATHER BE WITH ME THAN HIS OWN FATHER. BUT THE PERSON THAT HAS HIM WON’T LET ME TALK OR SEE HIM. I HAVE VISITATION RIGHTS AND I GET TO SEE HIM EVERY OTHER WEEKEND AND GETTO KNOW WHAT SPORTS HE’S IN, WHAT SCHOOL HE’S IN, WHERE HE IS LIVING BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY OF THAT INFOMATION BECAUSE MY EX MOTHER IN LAW WON’T GIVE ME THE INFORMATION. I’M AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO. I’M SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM HE’S ALSO ON MEDICATION, AND I THINK HE GETS DISABILITY FOR HIS SICKNESSES BUT I THINK THAT MY EX MOTHER IN LAW IS ONLY WANTING HIM SO SHE CAN GET THE MONEY. SHE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT HIM AT ALL, IT’S JUST THE MONEY. PLEASE HELP I’M IN DESPERATE NEED
