Topic : 09/05 Family Follow-up

We already know that there was a computer with lots of photographs with child pornography in Stacy's house.

We know also that Stacy found a tape with child porn in her husbands car .

Nobody denies these facts...

Does anybody have reasonable explanations to it? May be her husband? (On the show this question was nicely omitted) 

It is enough for anyone to raise a huge suspicion on the guy.

If Dr. Phill believes in polygraph tests, then why he avoids the topic of suggesting a polygraph test to this guy??? (May be in private). And if he did, what are the results?

What if kids lie just to protect their family? What if sexual abuse hasn't  happened yet, but might one day?

And did everyone miss the fact that the polygraphs were four hours long and that we only heard the answers for about 3 or  4 questions?  The polygraph did say that there was an issue with porn on the computer.  So there was some serious concern there.  Especially if it prompted Stacy to let Christy take the computer. 

Not only that but how could you have ever had a fight with your daughter that would end up with shoving her against the wall (which was brought up by Dr. Phil at the end of the show to Stacy) and pass the polygraph question about never abusing your kids?  If I ever shoved my daughter into a wall, I would feel so guilty that I'm sure I would fail that question.  Is it possible that Stacy does not feel she is doing anything wrong when she behaves that way?

I used to work in a legal situation where polygraphs were used people and it is not terribly difficult to pass a polygraph test when you are lying. That is why they are not admissible in court.  They are terrible, inaccurate evidence. 

I believe Christy believes those kids were being abused.  And if she believes that, of course she is going to be angry. Anyone who seriously believes that would be frantic and completely irate and probably irrational. 

As far as the 'system' is concerned, prosecution won't happen without ample evidence, which is hard to get in this situation.  Which is exactly why you hear about people being abused for YEARS.

I was working one time and a lady came to visit her husband and she was telling me how her husband was in jail for molesting their daughter.  This woman was angry at her daughter for telling someone and getting the husband thrown in jail.  VERY SICK.

I feel sorry for the kids.

How does a woman get so narcisistic as to think that all these agencies, the polygraph and certainly at this point the general public are wrong and she isnt?  I feel very bad for Christy. 

Counseling is very tricky.  If a counselor tells a patient what they dont want to hear when they dont want help for their real problem, they usually switch and write that therapist off as unsuitable, much as Christy has done with Dr. Phil.

Christy has clearly written off, not only Dr. Phil for not telling her what she wants to hear, but every professional agency that has investigated her sister.  No matter how over worked they are, they know what they are doing.  The overwhelming number of people that have ruled out any kind of abuse in her sisters family simply doesnt compute to Christy. 

Furthermore, her current therapist and husband should be very ashamed of themselves for supporting this and not recognizing Christy's very serious underlying issues.  I know its scary but i think its time Christy looked inward rather than outward.  There has to be some very serious underlying reasons this woman is so obsessed with her sister.  Christy admitted to checking the Dr. Phil website to see what people had posted about her episode.  Would one have to check that kind of media if they were not completely narcisistic?

It frightens me to think who, what and where Christy's attention might focus when this attention on her and obsession is no longer being met. 

I was sorry to see her sister even respond to anything she said on the follow up episode.  Christy dug her own hole both shows.  Christy's accusations and arguments are simply not worth responding to now that its over.  Christy's choice is to clearly cut herself off from her entire family and live an autonomous life in the bubble she has created.

Maybe now that the polygraph results have been released and intail good news pertaining to the childrens welfare,Christy can now work on her unstable behavior and let her sister devote all her attention to making her family strong again.
