i live with a spouse who refuses to believe that mpd/did exists. this show should do wonders for our marriage if we ever get stupid enough to watch it. which will not happen if i have any choice in the matter.
sorry for the rant, the persistent insensitivity to those of us with mental, emotional and physical challenges makes me very angry!!!!!!

I feel the same way. It isnt funny. There are movies and tv shows all over the place now where someone has an "alter ego" and its supposed to be mysterious or funny.
it bothers me the same way. Also, I dont appriciate Dr.Phil's shows. He has no respect for people. He just likes to exploit people for ratings. Sure, it can help to learn about these issues. but, at the same time, most of the people who watch it, either dont NEED to relate to it. or if they can relate to it, it just ends up being extremely triggering!.
He always mentions if children shouldnt watch the episode. But he never specifically says "This could be extremely triggering for some viewers".
hes a crock and i dont like him. ><
