Confession to make

I like watching Dr. Phil. And the more salacious the better.

The longer I am on my feet the more swollen they get. Once I get home, I try to start dinner and then I go rest in the bedroom. Since summer TV sucks, I find myself watching Dr. Phil (7pm on channel 3)

He's doing a three part series focusing on one couple. I guess the first episode focused on the husband confessing to his wife that he's a sex addict. And I think he may have raped someone. I missed most of that episode.

The couple goes back home and I guess the husband decides to confess to his wife that not only has he raped a few women, but he's also attacked/raped/killed someone along I-35. Conveniently, he has two different memories of this experience, one in which he kills the woman, another in which he lives. His terrified and sickened wife hears this and immediately calls. . .THE DR. PHIL SHOW!!!! Call me stupid, but I would have called the cops. Did I mention that they have four boys, and that she is still living in the house? The rest of the episode was about her getting a protective order (duh) and working with the police to address the situation.

For the third episode the couple is back on the show. The wife says she is not afraid for her life. She fears for others. And that if her husband didn't do these things he needs to get help. And if he did them, he needs help to.

Where the hell do they find these people? And what the hell is Dr. Phil doing "counseling" the situation.

For god's sake, if my husband EVER made a confession like that to me (which he wouldn't, but if he did) TRUST ME, the last place I would turn for help is the Dr. Phil show. Because he knows his ass from his elbow, right? Dr. Phil says his first priority is the health and well-being of the wife and kids. How noble. If that's his concern, why is the wife still sharing a stage with this guy? Shouldn't she be in a shelter or safe house somewhere?
