If she left him she wouldn't lose "everything", she would still have her child alive. She sat there and said she leaves her daughter with him and fears she will go home and the child will be dead...you better believe I wouldn't leave my children in a pit with a lion (that's what he is like since he doesn't take ownership and continues to act impulsively). Tim doesn't want to be with her since he already cheated on her, he wants his property (i.e "his" child) babysat by his other property (i.e. her). He doesn't want a wife, he wants control and she needs to take him to court if she wants a part of the house...but the child's life comes FIRST!

I have been in an very abusive relationship have had friends in them a grandmother and my best friends cousin as well and it is why I walked away from everything to save my children.
Her abuser only abused her just like you . until the night she was beaten ,thrown out of her home and to hurt her he said ... shot a killed his infant son and then himself...
you no the threat is real... you no it is very possible why would you ever risk your child's life? if you do not love yourself and can not protect yourself ... love and protect your daughter who can not protect her mother or herself....before it is to late....

I don't know who made me angrier- the sadistic fiancee or his grinning victim. She reminds me of my friend. After years of "passionate' violence, cheating (bi-sexual as well), alienation from friends and family, while she was heavily pregnant an "accident" ended up with her paralized from the breastbone down and he, barely a scratch. She changes her story, but no one doubts they were fighting in the car again. She was, and still is, addicted to the drama, and her kid is the one who pays the price.Her child will never know the independence, and fearless person we knew. He comes and goes with whoever, and she -you can't get past the plastic smile. Given-the guy is sadistic idiot who gets off on hurting people, is going to end up in prison with or without her. I just keep thinking, stop smiling idiot. You think killing your kids mother is the worse that can happen- you are wrong. Sometimes you end up maimed- wishing you were dead. Maybe wishing you should have walked away a million times before it was too late.

She should get out asap to save her life and that of her child!!! There's no time to argue about who should leave and who should not. Do you think this man is reasonable enough to come to an agreement with???? Jeez!!!!

I don't know which of these two I found more difficult to watch and listen to. The woman with her dedication to stupidity or the man with his sociopathy. It's nearly impossible for me to have sympathy for someone who chooses to stay in this insanity. I could not believe how nice Dr Phil was to him. He usually jumps down the men's throats if they even raise their voices. Have never seen as dangerous of a man as this one was. Dr Phil didn't want to throw him "under the bus." Why???? He needs to be thrown under a bus. Dr Phil said, "I don't think you're a bad guy." HUH??? He definitely is a bad guy Dr Phil. The worst I've ever seen on your show. You are so inconsistent.

Is this guy a sociopath? He showed no emotion or remorse. He'll never change.
Stay girl and you'll end up dead eventually. And maybe your baby too...

I'm sorry but Brittany get's NO sympathy from me. I feel sorry for her daughter though. I always feel sorry for the kids that have to be stuck with sorry parents like these. The mother is always weak and makes up excuses like well if I leave where will I go or what will I do. I don't have a job or any money. Well nobody told you to get with a man, get comfortable with him, and choose not to work or further your education. Just because you are in a relationship does NOT mean it will last or be a healthy relationship. If your man makes more than enough money as to where he can take care of you and the kids so you choose not to work that's fine. But at least go to a little trade school or college so you can have some education to fall back on. And at least have the sense to put some money aside so when the relationship does end you won't be sitting around like a bump on a log not knowing what to do. It was funny to hear that guy screaming like a woman to "let me in". But he is a sorry, low life, scum bag, little punk! I say throw him in prison where all the men will know about what he did to his girl and they don't like men like him so he'll know what it's like to get beaten and probably raped. As for Brittany whenever she chooses to leave then she'll leave. Other than that I wouldn't waste my time caring for a weak and pathetic woman like her. I think CPS should take the kid away and at least give her a chance. These people send messages to their daughters it's ok if a man hits you or cheats on you. And the sons it's ok to hit women, treat them like crap and cheat on them. Although you can't really be mad at the man. Becaus eyou teach people how to treat you. Brittany sends messages to her man that it's ok to hit me and cheat on me. I won't go anywhere because well I don't have a job, no money and I don't really care about myself. And she blatantly said there is NOTHING he can do that he already hasn't done to make her leave. Dr.Phil are too leniant with these people. Brittany has made it clear as day she wants to stay with that man but she just wants him to change which he is not. And that is fine if SHE stays with him but that kid needs to be taken away and not be left in a violent abusive situation like that. If Brittany wants to be beaten and killed then that's HER choice as a free adult. But she should have the common sense to get her daughter out of that.

What would be hard about leaving this guy after he choked you holding your BABY? Like Dr. Phil always says----I would rather live under a bridge than take the slightest chance of him hurting my child. I really don't care what those two do to each other----but I do feel very sorry for their baby. Once you have a child it is a game changer.

Because if she stays where she is, she and her daughter will be sitting ducks. They’ll have no protection if he decides to return and threaten them. You seem to think that by blaming the perpetrator you can control his actions. You can’t. If he’s hell bent on revenge or loses his control over Tiffany, her life and the baby’s life are in danger. Have you ever been stalked, because I have. There have been too many instances of men returning to the family home and killing the occupants once they realize that their partners want nothing to do with them anymore. By leaving and taking charge of her own life and the safety of her child, the woman is no longer a victim. She can begin to plan for her future and can choose her own destiny. A house isn’t worth your life. I’d rather live safely in a one bedroom apartment than have to constantly live in fear that he will return, because they always do.

I can confidently say that I have pretty much watched every single one of Dr. Phil's shows and have never been as outraged as I was after seeing this episode.
Both of those people are sick and in serious need of medical treatment. I just hope it comes before their baby daughter becomes a tragic statistic. To see them both up on that stage showing a disgusting display of both laughter and boredom made me feel sick to my stomach. Tim sat there and spewed out the list of abuses he has reaped while Brittany seemed to find the whole thing funny.
There has been a whole lot of discussion on why she should have to leave and why it shouldn't be Tim that leaves and to be brutally honest, I don't care who leaves who. In fact, I don't care if they take their incredibly dysfunctional relationship and sail off into the sunset because frankly, I think they both get some twisted enjoyment out of it, albeit, for different reasons. But lets get one thing straight - both of them are abusers, Tim for obvious reasons and Brittany for the fact that day in day out, she is playing Russian roulette with her daughters life. How can their be any sympathy for a woman who blatantly admits that she leaves her daughter alone with that monster just so she "can try and show him that she trusts him"?? I actually felt shivers down my spine when she came out with that.
The only thing that matters in this case is that their beautiful, innocent daughter is immediately removed from both of them and that hopefully there is a judge somewhere out there that will put this child before either of them. He has already taken the life of one of their children, why in God's name is she willing to let him do it again?
