Thank you for offering your help and two cents to these obviously distraught former Family members. God knows that they needed it as well as your generous offer of professional help and counseling for them. I hope that they take it and that in some way it will help them to separate truth from fiction in there own minds.

I find it difficult to believe however that you could be so one sided with your presentation of your show. Granted it makes for a good story and that in turn makes the public come back for more, but as a second generation member of The Family International this makes me sick! I am a father of three wonderful children and I would never place them in harms way. If I ever thought that this was the case in one of our Family communities I would simply move on.

I find it hard to believe that you would air something so one sided with out even just a little of our side. I don’t buy the “The Family wouldn’t come on the show” line, as if you were to just do even a little research you would see that there is definitely another side to this story. Go to http://www.myconclusion.com/archives/category/letters-to-the-editor/
where you can see mine as well as hundreds of others that stand up for the way that we live and for the way that we were brought up, with loving parents that gave there all so that we could have the best of care. But then again I don’t think that you were really interested in this aspect, or you would have said something about it. I hate to go as far as to say that I think your show is nothing more then a glorified Jerry Springer, but it would appear that way if one were to just watch this one segment. I know I have members of my personal family that like a lot of your
shows as well as some of the things that you promote on health etc. But on this time Dr. Phil you really bungled it. Time to fire some of your reporting team and hire some new ones, if you have any hope in reaching your full potential.
