[@dingo1666]

@@Xouiuexo I think you misunderstand the comment. In order to hate someone so passionately, care so much about everything he does, she must still have emotions about him. If she were totally disengaged and couldn't care less, she'd be able to put the kids first, have a clearer mind and could make more rational decisions, without constantly crying or being snappy or landing her in jail. She is giving him ammunition. I have to agree with that sentiment that she is still very much emotionally involved about him.

Absolutely. I’ve had to do that myself when dealing with a sociopath. The police will almost invariably side with the woman unless there is proof. Is that fair? Yes, when you’re dealing with threats and death threats. No one will ever believe you with the person’s own voice. No one. I hardly believed it myself.

[@lucycarlisle9120]

Toxic take. Women are often expected to suffer for families. I'm not saying anyone is vetter or worse in this case, but in a general way, women are expected to "suck it up," no matter what is happening. The woman in the audience sounded more self-congratulatory to me. "Look at what a sainted martyr I am; you should try to be more like me. If you don't, you obviously suck, because I'm the best & the standard." Gross.

[@kjl6039]

I agree that violence and physical abuse is never okay, no matter if the perpetrator is a woman or a man. However, a man is much stronger and bigger than a woman. I am not saying it is okay for a woman to hit or be physically abusive. However, a man hitting a woman causes serious damage. A man can hold a woman down and not allow her to get away. If a woman starts hitting a man, the woman is not as strong and the man can get away.

Just from watching a little bit of this show, my thinking is this woman is crazy, narcissistic, vindictive, and she is the parent, in my opinion that needs to be monitored.

[@NannekeNetherlands]

I've found for years Dr. Phil doesn't recognize psychopaths. He is always wanting people to reconcile and both behave honourably. He holds them up to a moral standard when usually, one of the parties got into that situation by behaving honourably in the first place, whereas the other party simply does not have the capability to do so. Phil simply perpetuates the problem.

[@idalarsson4729]

Thank you for saying that! This woman has an illness! Watch her marrying the new guy and have a child with him. If Dr.Phil still has his show when they divorce, he can have her on the show again - same story!

[@cyracandella2226]

There’s a specific criteria for diagnosing a psychopath. Just because someone might have a mental illness or personality disorder does not mean they’re a psychopath. There’s definitely people that come on here with major issues, but psychopathy cannot be assumed for the vast majority of these people over a 45 minute program. A lot of narcissistic people are featured on this show, but that does not equate to psychopath. I see a lot of people calling her a psychopath, she is clearly not. She’s toxic and self centered in many aspects, definitely has faked her crying, but she is not a genuine psychopath. She clearly cares about her children, but she’s also inconsiderate of her ex husband’s crucial role as a parent in her children’s lives. Again, that does not equate to psychopath.

[@NannekeNetherlands]

@@cyracandella2226 I was making a generalized statement about Dr. Phil. And I am sticking with it. I know I am not licensed to diagnose, and could not diagnose from a short video. And I also know that those who are licensed to, often cannot diagnose these types correctly either. I'm not new at this. I follow a definition by an expert and have a lot of years of experience in spotting them. There are many walking among us unrecognized. Most important ingredients: no empathy, no self awareness, no love, not even self-love. Sad, but true. (Edit for grammar)

[@joeyg448]

The police are a neutral party. They are not recording a conversation between officers and a suspect, they are recording a suspect’s conversations trying to investigate a crime. When they do have a conversation between officers and a suspect, like during an interrogation, it is a legal requirement that both parties are fully aware of the recording. Even when they are recording people without their knowledge, there is a tough procedure they have to go through to exercise that investigative tool. It is no small thing to invade people’s privacy, I don’t know if your comment is a joke or not, maybe it is.

[@sherrychapman9851]

That's not true.. ex DIL accused me of abusing 3 of my grandchildren, and the judge believed her. It was not true, and to this day, all 3 who are now adults spend more time at my home than the exDIL home. Two of them never see her and one rarely. The kids always tell me Nan, you did nothing wrong; it was she that was abusive and that we still have PTSD from.

[@gailwarnock2764]

This women is a psycho she is going to ruin her kids life and try and ruin her exes life she wants him back but he has become indifferent to her and she has no one to blame but herself because of her bad behaviour she's toxic.

[@Lavender-blue80]

I wouldn’t trust this woman with my guppy.

[@christinebrument6851]

She's not a good person.

[@vondahe]

You think?

[@tessmurphy1367]

Lord she is sanctimonious

[@chadfeathers3001]

That woman is a liar. I completely understand why he recorded her. Someone told him to document everything. I haven't had contact with our 3 boys in 8 years, because of someone just like her. I pray every day our boys will figure it out. 😢

[@dorcasmalorcas]

They won't figure out what you want them to figure out if you have had zero contact in eight years. There's zero excuse for no contact with 3 children in 8 years.

[@MsASFAW]

Something wrong this lady !

[@vondahe]

And Dr Phil, too. He’s not the man he used to be. Would he EVER ask a woman who was beaten or slapped in the face why she called the police?

[@nicolettemoore7711]

The first couple? Yes she is bipolar and probably on meds. I have seen this robotic, speech tone, body mechanics in multiple women diagnosed bipolar and on multiple psychotic medications.

[@DianePaton-qz1ru]

Is she on drugs

[@natalieoaklander4920]

He has every right to record.

[@Karen-ed4yr]

Mom is a " Liar" !!!

[@gigglebuggy]

I watch custody cases like this all the time and I kept saying your honor to Dr Phil 😂😂😂😂 but yeah she lying hard. Watching other custody cases will easily back that up

[@kiwikylie14]

This would have gone in a very different direction if the roles were flipped

[@SabrinaLWilliams]

If a man had hit a woman in the face and she called the police, nobody would ask her whether he split her lip or why would you bring the law into it. That's so wrong. It doesn't matter how much damage was done. That woman is unhinged and I would not allow her any leeway. If she doesn't want to get carted off to jail because of her kids, she should behave like a mother Edit. She has put on an act the entire time. Crying with no tears, pity plays that fool nobody and she is just a despicable human being who is poisoning her childrens' minds against their father, it is so obvious

[@Randysgirl]

I DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS. She cries and whines, but not a single tear comes out of her eyes. She is lying through her teeth. She hates her ex-husband more than she loves her children, and that is very very clear.

[@donquixotemom]

Crying but no tears. I feel sorry for everyone but we can tell she’s the one lying.

[@my3babies1038]

It’s the crying with no tears, and going back to straight face in a matter of seconds for me

[@erinbaker7775]

Why is there such leeway given to this woman. You out your hands on ANYONE-- you either get hit back or you go to jail. No female/male bs. Grow up, the real world is real….

[@vondahe]

It’s all that male privilege. Oh wait….

[@lesliefields7619]

Dr. Phil got this one wrong.

[@BobbyFarmer-l9f]

The Father should get full custody and the Mother supervised visitation.

[@jackiehendricks4941]

That woman plays "poor pitiful me", all too well.

[@Coriraz]

I’ve never seen anyone cry so much without shedding a single tear. 🙄

[@lynneosborne5200]

The mother is so intent of hurting her x husband because she still wants him back, every word out of her mouth is a lie.

[@maggiemathias5050]

Every time she lies she shuts her eyes, no tears when she cries. Don't believe a word that comes out her mouth.

[@amyevans5209]

22:55 wtf is Dr Phil acting like her hitting him isnt a big deal and he shouldn't have called the police and in his words "you had the mother of your children arrested" &" bringing in a 3rd party" but supposedly is against DV and his wife runs a company for DV survivors 🤬

[@Claire-gv7pi]

I get fed up of the double standards

[@thenumber1karen63]

At the VERY moment I screamed the same thing, your post popped up. After hearing Dr Phil say that, I was furious. It is NEVER okay for someone to hit another. He was right to have it documented that she was violent towards him. She’s already posted to some MTV blog a solicitation to have her kids father beat up…next she’s going to solicit to have her kids father killed. 😡😡😡

[@christinegreenwood4093]

Isn’t dr Phill a 3rd party?

[@nickp4961]

This woman acts like she has a substance issue. She appears very selfish and angry. The fiancé needs to run,

[@catstwodogs]

She is not stable and a liar. Not a single tear but a lot of squeezing her face

[@Heather-ly8wt]

Of course he should record her! She's unhinged. Guys....you should record your volatile partners, it could save you from jail.

[@suzanneyoung660]

This woman is pure looney tunes! Poor children. Her fiancé knows this but is weak. She has issues.

[@purgatoriprytania5382]

Those poor kids.

[@letreyus6108]

If she hit him? She deserves to be charged! Why is Dr. Phill questioning like this? If it was the other way, things would have been asked completely differently. As wood how he spoke to the perpetrator!

[@drbrucejmacmurray1834]

No problem recording. Always safer when dealing with someone who lies. Protecting yourself by recording is just part of self defense.

[@ElizmaBadenhorst]

She accuses him of abusing the children, yet say she never tried to keep the kids from him. If she truly believed he was abusive towards them, why would she not try to keep them away from him?

[@rainbowzebraunicornpegasus2962]

I find it so interesting that her tears dry up ever so quickly, within a sentence or two... fading facts, not ever at fault if they get upset, non contacted statements. I love The Behavior Panel, teaching what to look for

[@miles-thesleeper-monroe8466]

She's exactly like my girls mother. Vengeful women like this are so dangerous and bring misery all round for their own twisted needs

[@jjun2891]

That's crazy eyes

[@lakegirl3664]

It would be impossible for any father to attempt to parent with someone as devious as she is! Great words form the Harvard educated lawyer and Dr Phil. However, the truth is when dealing with mental illness , addiction and hatred you are forced to video and protect yourself! In this case I am praying the father gets custody. Again great advice for 2 normal parents but not so much with one dealing with her mindset!

[@manilkasheran2934]

He's risking jail time like serious time if he isn't doing everything through the court system and DCFS! This woman is absolutely bonkers and she's the abusive parent here!

[@msplace100]

The woman is bitter, cold and probably not a good mother.

[@StefaniClowdis]

She’s deflected his questions

[@vivnoname]

And Dr Phil didn’t pick her up on some of them.

[@jessepinkman2537]

“Why did you call the police when she hit you? Why would you want the mother of your children to get the arrested?” She had herself arrested you fool. You hit people, you get arrested. WTF? Victim blaming much? His response was brilliant. “The extent of the injuries is irrelevant. It’s an offence. Period”

[@7yorker7]

Her ex is not a saint, and he probably crossed the line a few times himself, but I think this woman is a dangerous and bitter liar. I have no problem with recording others to protect myself. I'm with the father here.

[@colleenw8756]

I came from an abusive home. Dr Phil I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE WAY YOU HANDLED THIS INTERVIEW. Not a Dr. just one who lived it.
