Was raised with humorand ridicule

    There has been this kind of behavior going on for years. It's called leveling and no one has come up with a cure. When the parents do this they believe they are giving their children the benifits of there limited knowledge. I have seen a very loving father call his child stupid and  

 was shocked. I hope to get his family to see this show.  As for the women who feels cheated because of her husbands health,  I'm sure he feels just as cheated because the marriage vows go for both of you. When are we as a society going to ask more from our behavior. We as a culture are selfcentered and can do no wrong.

 How do you explain this kind of behavior? Children learn from their parents. They are sweet and adorable until someone close to them acts in a selfish manner. Children learn from parents. Those who want to laugh and make fun at my comments are at the center of my comments.

I'll be watchin but

 I have your show on automatic record  so I very rarely miss a show.  In 1989 I suffered a stroke and lost EVERYTHING. It took me 10 years  to become comfortable with my life. You and Robin every year will choose a topic and your show and sponsers will bring some hope back in their lives. It's been less than six months and the help is pouring in.  If I sound a tad  out of sorts it's not because of jealousy it's that where was all that generousity when I lost everything. The rest of society only bands together when it looks good. As a christian I am no longer jealous. My hope is to not forget those who will suffer today and tommorrow. I hope who ever deletes this will remember them.

Yea blame it on Steve

  Steve is a tortured man who has trouble dealing with his own past.  I have never remarried because I have lost faith in how todays woman grabs control of a relationship and uses the power to poison how things are to be.  Men  are  human first and when you have a loss of a child it more often then not destroys relationships.  I am an angry person today and day after day it gets worse. There is no way to replace what has been lost. Over the past years women have created problems in the home and it is the man who is the villanized. We have no idea how to react when cornered. We were taught to provide and not  argue with  women it's rude.  Now show after show is a rehash of women goin poor me.  When it becomes apparent then hopfully  the women will begin to act like women. Couples have children and when they are out of control it's the mans fault.  Children are with fathers 25% of their youth but it his fault because he is man.  No, this is not true in a larger amount of homes but it is true.  The no father figure or handicapped did not turn me to crime. Yes I have my moments and I thank God for watching over me.  I have all kinds of exscuses for being  abusisve and those reasons had me walk away from my family.   I still live as a single man and hope one day to be reunited with my daughter.

04/18 Ask Dr. Phil and Robin

Quote From: a1amarillo

Not that it will have any effect on any opinion of anyone.  Taking the keys from a boy that owns his own motorcycle is not the answer. 

I do not have the answer as my 21 year old son is now paralyzed probably forever because he had no conscienceness of fear when he rode his new motorcycle.

Over $500,000.00 in hospital bills and a lifetime of medical care costs whould convince anyone to be careful, but it does not work that way.

Although he is legally an adult he did not possess the experience or the knowledge to know the the unintended consequesces of his actions. 

I believe peer pressure had an enormous amount of influence on his actions.  Where are his riding buddies now?  Well they don't come around like they did before his injury.

We now know more about spinal cord injuries than we ever wanted to.

He is a strong man and he will make it.  But the price he has had to pay for one moment of a lapse of thinking is a price much too high for one young man.

I guess the answer lies somewhere in showing your children somehow their actions create ripples through their entire family no matter how close or far apart they are. 

I do not like the Dr. Phil show and would not take the time to write, but taking any opportunity to plead with parents  to doing anything you can to  stay close to your children should be the most important priority in your life.

If you can't make that commitment you should not have kids.

Confrontation only pushes them away.


 I do like the Dr. Phil and  I find this an interesting subject. I know of someone who when he was 18 was in an accident that put him in a coma for a week. Him and a friend were involved and the passenger only suffered minor injuries. Know anyone who drives one of these deathtraps should be institutionalized. I am sure that anyone arrogant enough to ride one of these things deserves anything that comes there way. While on one remember that a motorcycle weighs on an average 450 lbsl, a car 4500 lbs, Where do you want to be on a dark night when a tire goes?

WHAT THE ?

  Yes I am asking, what is going on here? I have not seen my daughter for 19 years. Before I left I had taken our family from poor and suicidal to educated and comfortable. I did this on my own, no help from her other than to be complained at for it not being better.  I am disabled and it takes alot of strength to make it thru each day, yet my wife would always have me run to the store the minute I got home. The things we needed always were an emergency in one way or another.  I finally had it when one day it had been really hard and all I wanted was my couch.    

It always is put on men as our inability to control our anger and never is the woman questioned. We men put our hearts into a relationship and if the women creates an unhealthy inviornment. I cannot believe that every abusive relationship is always looked upon as us men not being in control of our emotions.  Where is it stated that MEN are always in control? It in my mind  the  thought of loosing control that angers us.  Women have taken the roll of the abused and smile all the way to the bank. They loose nothing, if the relationship ends it is the man that goes. Then by paying to keep her happy one may get to visit the kids.  Yes my heart breaks at any young girl being abused only now my thoughts are tempered by experiance.   

Dr. Phil I hope your two boys have learned how to choose a good woman that will be  their wifes and mother to their children. Don

Why the need to diagnose?

Quote From: vabtrfly

Very well said! All that's left.... is to add a few links, lol.  

  

narcissism 101 Index  

  

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) : How to Recognize a Narcissist  

  

What Makes Narcissists Tick  

  

Just some helpful information for anyone interested.  

  

For people who think they need additional support.... there are many great NPD forums, full of caring, supportive, and understanding individuals. All you need to do is google Narcissistic Personality Disorder.  

  

Take care and God bless.  

  

  

Yes the first thing we need to do is diagnose. Why add on any more for a child to carry than is needed? Where is the love and honesty a child needs as they grow. If parents can now justify leaving a child locked as for their good I am now aware of why kids are the way they are.  I was a patient for one year also. I was physically disabled and had no one who cared about me when I was discharged. What I mean is it 's hard being the new kid. No one helped me readjust  to the world. It was as if being thrown in the deep end and all those who were present could not help.  I needed guideance not ridicule. I was held back as unable to blend in. Yes how do you diagnose apathy and is there a cure.

despite sex theories

Quote From: purplepain

Dispite all your "thus's" and "goodly's" men do not lack rights. Men do not lack anything.  Your anger at women in general is very clear.

This has nothing to do with gender rolls and please stop making everything about how the poor males are victims of all the powerful women of the world.

There is no meme. You can't just claim there is one and it be so!

This is about spoiled people who are milking their parents for all they are worth. This is a leaving the nest issue...NOT a gender issue.
Yes lets blame it on the sex of the idiot.  There is only one way to deal with this child. Leave him with who taught him and lets get on with life. As long as parents today can seek out sympathy for being irresponsible and Dr. Phil can write a book about how to raise our children then why teach them how to be. We have become dependant on others to teach our  kids desire or drive and when the kids fail it's on the education system. I have made more effort and failed than this child and he will live better than I because his parents spoil him. Dr Phil will you give these well intentioned parents the proper definition of SPOIL.

This is not about hate

Quote From: luvthesout

I have cried myself sick over this show.  Why do people continue to have kids if they hate being a mother so much?  Those kids need to be taken away from those sick parents.  There are too many people who want to love and adopt kids.  I just can't get over this.

   How come people think this is about HATE? I know about this kind of RAGE, and it is about expectation. When a parent has kids they have this picture of how it should be, when it's not then anger is their logical attack.   

   I left my family when I finally saw it come to a head. Now this sounds as an excuse but it is real. I grew up on American TV shows, Father Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver and Patty Duke Show to name a few. I saw a FATHER who was loved and respected yet his character was the one who was warned of when trouble was in the air. The hug and kiss as he walked in the door was what I wanted when  I came home. Not a "you need to go out again because I need this". This was a game my wife would play, she knew how I hurt physically and all she could do was send me out. The hug and kiss I expected was never there, I even explained "if you would greet me as if you cared then I would not care.  Yet every day I come home and the first thing out is not HI HOW WAS YOUR DAY,  it's I need this at the store.  

     It has been 20 years since I left and one thing is clear to me, my anger was not justified and I  knew that I would kill my daughters mother if I did not go.   

    I worked as an adolesant counselor and felt in conttrol of my actions untill I came home.  I can rationalize  how  things were yet for my anger there is only one reason.   It was not how I envisioned my life and felt as if I was being cheated.

BEFORE YOU WATCH

Quote From: pepito3

I just started watching this show and I got  barely into the beginning taped piece and had to stop it. I do not know if I can continue watching this episode.  I am so sick to my stomach and so angry I could spit!  You need a license to get a dog, but they will let any knucklehead be a parent.  I will finish watching when I calm down but I can tell from the posts already on here, that it does not get much better.  I do not care what your kid does, beating him while he screams and then injuring him is unacceptable.  Dr. Phil, you always say abuse is a deal breaker in a marraige....what about for children?  That boy was hurt and she did not believe him, showed him no sympathy....those children should be with protective services immediately!  You advised the abused girlfriend last week to leave the boyfriend until he can get help....those kids should not be around her until she can prove herself.  Most importantly, shame on the husband to say he did not stop her as he wants to show a united front to the children.  If he saw his wife, his mother, anyone else in his family being attacked, would he stand by?   

As I said, I am too upset to watch the rest right now and maybe there was more to the story, but in my opinion, nothing she could say will justify what I just saw.  I cannot have children and I suffer everyday, yet she has no idea what blessings she has in those children, let alone what damage she has caused them.   

  

Go out and buy a cheap TV set and plastic dart gun. You are going to want to shoot both parents and this may give you a release.  At the end though it seems as if Dr. Phil has confidence in the out come. I am a father who has not seen his daughter because of anger problems with her mother. I know for certain that my wife only married for security not love. Yet because of her manic-depression she could not be a good wife.  Her family allowed her to take our daughter and leave town. Yea arn't moms great. I know mine is though and she taught me how not to be.
