Dr. Phil - How to Escape a Bad Marriage, Part 2

If you're a woman living in constant fear of an abusive mate, Dr. Phil dedicates this show to you. He documents the tumultuous journey of a mother of four who flees to a shelter to escape what she says is a violent marriage. When Star last appeared on the show, she admitted that she was addicted to prescription drugs and was unfaithful to her husband, Isaac. Now clean and sober for seven months, she says that her problems are just beginning. Star says Isaac is verbally abusive to her and their kids, and he chokes her, slaps her, leaves bruises on her arms and feet and has threatened her life. Dr. Phil cameras follow the fearful mom as she makes the toughest decision of her life. Then, Isaac, who doesnt know where his wife or children are staying, speaks to Dr. Phil via telephone. Hear his side of the story. Will he reconcile with his wife? Plus, Dr. Phil sits down with Star's 12-year-old daughter. Find out how she says the alleged violence at home affects her. And, if you're in an abusive relationship, Dr. Phils steps for escaping could help save your sanity and your life.

wheres pt 3?

[Mascherina1964]

These hotlines are the best things a person going thru domestic violence can have. I still remember when I called the first time: I was covered in tea (he threw the teapot at me before leaving the apartment) and the lady on the other end of the line believed me. SOMEONE BELIEVES ME! It gave me the strength to leave him.

@Intheend4226 For 1, Who the world gave you permission to address someone as "donkey"? HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL!! For 2, your post reads like you have absolutely NO REAL experience in the "Committed Relationship" status. For 3, Before marriage? = a "dream come true" relationship: After wedding day? = a "nightmare from hell" relationship. (Dr Jeckyl 'n Mr Hyde syndrome).  Ladies, NEVER let your guard down! I pray for ALL affected by domestic abuse! BE STRONG! BE SAFE! BLESSED BE!

Do not call marriage bad or good ... marriage is just a process neither bad nor good but just a relationship... some times cool and some times warm ...
