About the alcoholic whose wife beats him. It was so horrifying what their children have to deal with. It made me cry. It's on where i am right now if anyone turns it on. absolutely horrifying.
I didn't watch it today, but I did watch one a few days ago where a couple was getting divorced and fighting over custody of the children. Except the man is a transgender, so he was born a female and legally a female. To top things off, neither of the children are his (obviously, since he is a she). I agree with you jen, the kids have to go thru so much and it's really sad. Divorce is hard in and of itself, but to go on national tv and expose everything about your family to the entire world! I couldn't do it.
I agree with Dr. Phils morals and i give him kudos for trying to protect the kids' identities, but if one person recognizes those kids' parents their lives will be changed forever. I would divorce or whatever it took before i ever let me kids be exposed to some of what has been on Dr Phil lately. I saw that episode too. How did the mother lose custody of her biological children to a transgender man who is not their biological parent (they met when she was pregnant with her youngest)? I still haven't figured that one out. I think i need to go back to work - too much daytime TV while i clean, work out, etc. LOL! Maury is about reckless teen girls (finally! a break from "whose my baby's daddy?") or oprah (two headed child). I have satellite but there are times of the day when there isn't much choice.
I haven't watched TV (except maybe a little in a hotel room when I'm traveling) for over a dozen years. I live too far out to get broadcast TV, and I was doing everything to pay off debt, so I canceled my cable. You know what? After you get used to having the radio on while you're doing other things, you don't even miss it. I don't have a clue what half of the conversations in the office are about! In my case, I put on the radio and worked at my computer. I had a part-time business in addition to a full-time and a part-time job. I got a lot of debt paid off, I made something of myself, and the world goes on without my watching TV.
