I was going to read the after show and saw this.

It says only respond if you want to be on the show.

Talk about exposure!

Maybe he'll help with some detective work?

Tempting, but no thanks. Even though I would love to expose and humiliate my H (if I am correct about the A),I don't think I could handle the exposure or humiliation it would bring upon me and my family. Last time we kept it our little secret to protect him and his professional reputation. Hah.

I wonder about people who go on television and share aspects of their lives that would best be shared in a competent counselors office. (or in the case of Jerry Springer-in their driveway at the trailer park)

I wonder if these people consider their families, friends or community and the consequences when they return home.

I wonder if there's a point where the desire to help others becomes secondary when the amount of money one makes on these shows is so massive. I've been to two different counselors and not once did they offer to send us on an all expenses paid vacation. It seems to make it all so cheap and commercial. Do they really have these problems or are they there for the "give aways?"

I remember the family from Utah and the whole town he adopted to help families. What happened to these people? They just seem to never be mentioned. Can Dr. Phil admit that some situations aren't suitable for his care? I wonder.

Now he wants to exploit more families in great pain. Look at Momto3boys. Their situation is as bad as ever and the judge ordered no more publicity. Could they have done better without the focus of a nation on their situation? No one will ever know. Dr. Phil's last contribution was a makeover for Mom. I thought it very unwise for Dr. Phil allowing a comment Mom made to be aired about the physical appearance of ow. It was truly in bad taste.

There are many avenues of assistance in recovering broken marriages. Dr. Phil should be the last on everyone's list.
