I ran and got the TV and the show is on parenting. Did you see a preview to an upcoming show? Thanks.

Hi Miss Priss,

I'll be watching Dr. Phil this afternoon.

The OW in my situation was seen by me once. It was in court when I filled the anti-harassment order on her. My therapist was there with me and we both could not believe our eyes. Because we knew OW had breast implants and frequented bars we expected somewhat of a a sex pot.

The OW looked 65 - 70 years old (she was 42 at the time). My therapist, who is 60, said she looks older than her.

I was shocked beyond words.

NO, NO, NO! I am not sure what show you saw today, but the show today is on parenting and the previews they showed for the upcoming show was for an adoption...Maybe they showed a clip of the show for next week, but the OW you saw is not Ed's OW...I was on with an OW who has a child with a MM, but it is not Ed's OW...The OW that is on with me is actually attractive compared to Ed's OW...

Just curious, was the OW they showed, did she have black hair and blue eyes? Was she a little chubby? If so, that is the OW that was on the show with me...If I was in the same room with Ed's OW, she would not have come out of there looking very good! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Just wanted to clarify before everyone starts jumping up and down <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

OK, I just saw the clip...it is the OW that was on the show with me! she does not look good on TV at all! She is much more attractive in real life!

At the end of the show, I saw a show with Kandi mixed in with a hodgepodge of other clips for shows to be done in February. It seemed that this was supposed to be Ed's OW, but it wasn't really clear. So glad you are returning, Kandi...The affair fog for the BS is I'm not good enough for my spouse, and that is very hard to deal with. You are doing a great deal for all of us who have endured poor treatment by our spouses.

M23B,

I just wanted to add to all the other posters on here supporting you. I'm glad you are still around here, and very glad that you have so many close contacts with people on here through e-mail and phone rather than the boards.

My X and I had no kids, and I know how hard going through his A and the divorce was. I can't tell you how many times I thanked God that we didn't have kids. Getting through all you've gone through - including going on TV with it! - with kids and still maintaining your sanity.... well, you must be one of the strongest people I've ever met.

I just wanted to let you know how much I feel for you and the kids and what you are going through, and how much I admire you for being strong through all of this. Lots of prayers and wishes here for your continued strength, because I know you still have a long ways to go with all this mess!

I have been lurking, sorry to threadjack, but when is m23b on Dr Phil?

Kandi ~

Just hopped on after seeing the clips for the upcoming shows. I, too, thought that this was Ed's OW...and wondered How the heck is Kandi talking to this woman from the audience without running on stage and strangling the ugly life out of her?????? LOL Phew, glad you cleared up the OW mix-up. But wait! You say Ed's OW is uglier??? UGH.

Also wanted to let you know that we (DFW and I) have followed your story and wish you and the boys only the BEST! You are a wonderful, strong, beautiful woman and deserve the best!

Hang in there Mom!!!

Hugs, Frags

Momto3boys...
Just curious....has Dr. Phil contacted you on a update on your situation? I would call him and see if you can do that. Let the world see what your WH is up to still.

I just got back from taping the update on Sunday! the update will air Feb 3rd! I cant call Dr. Phil personally, I have to go thru the producers, etc..and even then, not allowed to talk to the Dr. Everyone will be able to see the update next week <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thanks for letting us know- my vcr will be set!!

M23B-

I can't wait to see the show.....you have been on Dr.Phil previously?? Is that why there's an update? LOL, I'm so out of the loop.

But there's a show that's going to air on the 3rd, and you're on it right?!

Dang, I gotta find out what time it's on in my area...I love Dr.Phil, but I don't watch much TV.

I even wrote to his show about my sitch, but I don't know if I would have actually went through with it even if they'd picked me, I'd probably chicken out..LOL. My WH would hate it, and I would probably cry like a retard trying to tell my story....LMAO

But M23B you go girl!!!!!

-Caren

I saw Dr. Phil today and thought the same thing. I was like <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ewwwwwww. As I was saying God forgive me

momto3boys...
Please remind us when it is on. I will definitely be watching. Was your WH on the update show also?

I would love to get my WH to watch. He hates Dr. Phil. I bought the relationship resue tapes and he wouldn't listen to them with me. I love Dr. Phil.....he says it like it is!!!!

Most people who hate Dr Phil hate him because they are wrong and he is right. I know that I told my brother he should watch him (in relation to his daughter who is having a tough time) and my brother said he was an idiot- I thought, well, probably because you don't want to hear what he has to say- might hit too close to home!!

Anybody see the E special on him? The one that tells his whole life TRUE story. How he has treated some of his past business partners? Phil lovers may find it interesting to say the least.
I think it runs on thier "E true hollywood story" series. They re-run it once a month or so. Watch it and check out the real Dr.Phil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Once again......my mouth (and my fingers) went off running before my brain had time to process anything. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

The previews they were showing for the Feb. shows were leading one to believe that this WAS Ed's OW though. The way they had it all put together. Anyway.....my bad. I apologize.

I don't think ANYONE can be as perfect as he tries to portray himself ALL the time.....and I don't think ANYONE has the answers to EVERYTHING.

I don't watch the show anymore because.....IMHO....I think that he belittles people when giving them advice. Yeah.....the truth hurts.....but sometimes someones BRUTAL honesty can have the exact opposite affect of what your going for.

I think he uses the art of intimidation too often....and no I haven't seen this E Special or whatever it was. This is just my opinion from watching the show.

Besides....he wouldn't be where he is now if he hadn't been on OPRAH anyway.

JMHO

MIssPriss & SISF:

Just wanted to say that I totally agree with you! Dr. Phil does have some sound advice, but he's too condescending and downright cruel. How can he lecture about good marriage when he's on his second marriage? He portrays THIS wife and this marriage with her to be so perfect. I just don't buy it. I've heard many bad things about him too-from some business partners of his.

I guess we missed the show that Momto3Boys was on? We'll have to watch for the update on Feb. 3rd.

That's the reason I like Dr. Phil...he's brutally honest. No need to tip toe around things that people have done that are wrong. Tell them like it is. If they can't handle it then stop doing it!
Sorry..just my opinion.
