Dear Dr Phil and Co
Here we go again, this is getting tiring but I will gladly do it over and over again till somebody gets the point that we are here to stay.
Dr. Phil,
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 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.

We know YOU are here to stay. Nobody cares one way or the other. It’s abusive Family First Generation abusers we are after.

I for one care! And I think that you do as well.
PS: And I am not the endearing termed “nut job” that you have called me. Although I will admit to being cocky at times. Lord help me.
Ok boys lets simmer down! Remember this site is for my family and friends, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but please keep things friendly. Appreciate it, thanks!!
Thanks for your letter Dan, sorry can’t post it Abi orders. Abi wants to keep this site for pretty pics etc. It was great though and you are a good writer although we see things differently and for now it looks to stay that way. Anyway just when I thought that I was in charge of this site Abi goes and puts her foot down. Sure you can understand that and if you don’t well, wait till you get hitched. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks John.
Hey I hear you. No worries. The little bit of give and take was cool, but I respect the purpose of your site. Best of luck in your work. I have nothing against it. It’s too bad we are on oposite sides of this issue but maybe in the future we’ll all find some middle ground. I respect your responding directly to me. Most won’t do that. You have my email address in case you have a direct issue with something I’ve said in public somewhere. I’ll be happy to respond.
Cheers,
Daniel Roselle
Good job.
