This was my first time looking at this blog and reading so many stories of insane abuse. Yesterday I watched a documentary called just, melvin about a family who had been abused so violently that even in death his evil cast a shadow over the two ex wives and the many daughters he abused in vile and disgusting ways. There is evil in our society and no president, police department or a single wonderful Doctor such as Dr. Phil can wipe away all the anguish, anxiety, fear and illness following the survivors of such devastation to the human soul. Still, there is hope given by some people that you can heal. The Lord gives hope and a promise of rest for the day. Prayer does work and it helps. I pray each of you will be able to find a safe place in your lives, a way to find it is through the Lord. Be sure you read how not to get caught up in a cult on Dr. Phil’s web site. Seek solace in good things not in drugs. They only mask the problem and cause more harm to the body. Don’t strike out in anger but get away from the negative atmosphere and seek some true joy in this world. You only live once and having all this turmoil is not what God wants you to have but you must help yourself get away from the abuse. We must find ways to show one another true care and love. So stand up and find a way out threw the cracks and crevices that remain. Abuse of a human person is not a life and should not be tolerated. It’s hard to get away but you can do it. Hide a little money in the garden or some place safe and when you have enough get the hell out. Go to a shelter and start over with some free counseling available in most cities through a church or mental health department. You don’t have to stay with people who hurt you. Yes you stumble and sometimes women don’t make good choices the second time either. Seek your strength and take care of yourself. Of course he says if you leave he will kill you but he might not especially if you stand up for yourself and continue to stand up by getting away. Yes sometimes thy follow you and try to get back in your good graces by making promises they can’t keep but be strong and don’t let them in learn by your past mistakes. Take care of yourselves and may God shine his grace on you as you makea new life. Maybe nothing I have said helps you but maybe it does. Just the fact I understand the pain.

I am enjoying your lasted book. however, why did you feel marking oprah’s battle in texas? I dislike her for several good reasons; one reason she if pregitest of social status and race. she was taking question from the aud. she came up to an elderly white woman; oprah told her “you have to stand in order to ask a question.” the lady said he has problems standing. oprah repeated her comment. the lady could hardly stand on her own. once finshed with this white lady, oprah went to a black lady. oprah did not required the black lady to stand, the black lady was in her 30’s. another (but, not all the reasons), there was a mud slide on the coast in CA. these were very upscale homes that upper middle or upper class. she (oprah) was raising money for these people because they didn’t have home owners insurance. if people that are smart enough to have an income to live there…just like people by $300,000 – 400,000 homes on a veriable interest rate. well duhhh why doesn’t oprah, help me? I am 100% disabled thru the VA. I have no savings, I live month to month. the 5+ years Obama has been in office – us disable VETS has not received a cost of living allowance (c.o.l.a.); except, during this last election. we got the raise in words only I can prove I/we have not received it.
but you get my idea. there are double standard for the have’s and have-nots. I have not received any kind of help. I cant even file a home owner’s claim. the claim would be my 2nd claim – therefor, I will be dropped from erie insurance, my roof received damage from last years storm and I didnt claim my roof then. I didnt think there was damage; no roof parts fell off. seeing I do not do heights, a friend looked and said there was damage…

the show of a woman shot her husband 6 times; and, you went to see her in prison. she received only four years, for this. now, if this was male, he would have received a much stiffer sentence of at least twice the amount of years. why wasn’t this explored? there is a double standard when it comes to men i.e. a friend and his wife were next door outside. the home caught on fire; their 4yr daughter died. they were standing next to each other. they were convicted of child endangerment – she got 8 months, he got 4 years. why aren’t things like this brought in more of your show. another example, a woman makes a detailed list of things her husband has to, clean…why didn’t you ask why??? if it were a man – it would be said he was trying to control his wife/girlfriend.

I grew up in a home where my parents were abusive. I left my first husband when he wanted to kill our six children then myself then himself. At that time I started a path of healing. The healing and growth I have experienced has been enormous. You talk on your show about how writing your story can be healing. Lately I have been feeling stuck in my growth and think writing my story could get me unstuck. I have no clue where to start with that. I’m not a writer, I’m an artist, so I would need to have a writer work with me and a publisher willing to print the resulting book. Is it realistic to think this could be done? I grew up in the woods in Alaska so the book could be called “Growing Up Wild In The Last Frontier”. I love watching you on your show helping people to grow and heal from trauma. I totally respect your ability to find solutions to help people grow and heal. Would you be willing to help me get past this block in my growth? Anxiously awaiting and looking forward to your reply.

Chritmas promises are starting to fade and once again as I pack away the ornaments, I find the promises made to Him are tidely placed in the box until next year. Ogden Nash (I believe) wtote the poem, So That is That ( ?), which says these thought of our yearly habit of the promises we make in the name of The Christ Child each year, pushing the aside by New Year’s Day.
Why is it, Dr Phil, I simply can’t follow through with those Christmas promises? I know the ‘tsadness that has been in my life (cheating husband) for the past yeats (4) is like this wall that blocks me. He who is an oncologist, left me and the kids, dogs and horses around the time I was diagnosed with MS and Lupus, for an old friend who Googled him about her recent cancer issues.
Yes I know, there were problems in the marriage. Well, he came back a year ago and not much has changed. In fact, “it is the elephant” in the room. Where did my pride go? I prayed for strength, but it is fear I was given. I prayed to be the example my children need, but I sm the
oposite. This was the first Christmas, that He wasnt present at. Another year of abuse and shame. Wondering where did my guts go? Even I don’t revgnize myself. And the latest ha ha you’re making too much out of something….was finding before Christmas that he’s on Ashle Madison. The old me would have kicked him to the curb. Where did that Meg go? An ornament to be placed back in box now. Maybe next year

Dr. Phil,
Christmas 2012 has now come and gone and I hope you and your beautiful family had a very Merry Christmas. I don’t get to watch you very often but I am off work early today (my Mom has cancer and she has lab work every week and chemo every 4 weeks) I am my Mother’s care giver and her battle began 08/13/2011, she is doing quiet well all things considered. I am watching you on “Katie” and I really think this is awesome!! Two talk show host sharing the stage…kudos to you both! I admire you so very much for your upfront, straight talk, no bull take on life. I am certain that some people take that very hard….because sometimes “the truth hurts” and that is kinda hard to take. I want you to know how wonderful it is when I do get to watch, that you walk straight to Robin and you hold hands walking off. I want to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! I think you are wonderful, Your fellow Texan!

His remarks are aziamngly out of touch. How many years of anxiety, depression, and fear of rejection do we save our children by not being judgmental as his remarks clearly show him to be. I found his remarks to be so prejudicial. It is a difficult world to live in without our parents making it more so. I applaud your love for your child and the acceptance you give him. And you are right. It would so hurt him & traumatize him. The memories he has now even if he can’t name them later are the memories that will shape his inner joy and well being. I feel sorry for any child whose parents listen to Phil. And I congratulate you and your son for the journey you are sharing together!
