if anyone drives a child on a lap with full disregard to the child's safety - this is a child abuse and should have being addressed as one. very disappointing in dr Phil for telling "you have done nothing wrong" when children's  safety was abused. EXPECTED BETTER OF THE SHOW

Doesn't matter if the President is waiting for you, NEVER drive children in a car unrestrained.

I would not let my children go either! I would be furious if the mother in law rolled up to take my kids without telling me or discussing it with me! Tardus is a spineless person who sits on the fence and has a big mouth telling his family his complaints! The family are spitefull and nasty people who I would not be bothered with!

They said that he is white washed and not acting as black!mstupid thing to say!  The family don't lIke it that he is not acting the way they think he should!




Horrible family!

The father is a manipulator himself to think that their daughter in law was on the show for ammunition ! That is the way he thinks! The girl has no hope becathese his family is horrible and can't stand the fact that the son is not jumping every time the family talks! If the son is complaining about the wife he should shut up! These people don't like it that she is white as they think that the son is not as black!


I would have nothing to do with these people as they just don't like their daughter in law! They attack her and have made it really obvious that they don't like her! The whole family are control freaks and can't stand the fact that the son has a life of his own! Grow up you horrible people! I don't care if the daughter in law is manipulative the way they talk about her is disgusting and not something I would put up with! I would not like to visit people who think the way they do let alone let them look after my children! 


Disgusting family!

AND Jamie is not really the problem!  Tardus is!  He should have told his wife that his mother was coming!  He should not bad talk his wife to his family and expect them not to react to what he said!  He should require his wife be more respectful of his family just as he would hers!  He is the problem!  This has nothing to do with inrterracial relataionships!  These people could have been white and have the same situation!  


Clearly the family has had a relationship with Jamie. Tardus has created this riff by not being a man!  No mother wants to see her son talked to or disrespected by his wife just as no father wants to see his daughter disrespected by her husband!  


I think Jamie needs to try a little harder to build and foster a relationship!  The family is taking their anger out on Jamie more so than Tardus who deserves it!  Jamie should pull her weak husband up!  


Dr. Phil you let me down!  Still sizzling hot over here!  


Tanika

The husband is to blame in this situation!  He needs to stop cowering down and make a stand!  You can be a great husband and father and still have a relationship with your brothers and sisters, mother and father!  The husband created a lot of this problem!  He can be a successful man in corporate America AND continue to be the same person on the inside!  No one is wanting him to move home or act like an 18 year old.  What they do expect him to do is behave like a loving brother!  Shame on him if he thinks that he needs to abandon everything about his culture in order to be successful!  

Dr. Phil, you let me down completely!  You gave NO advice to the wife or the husband.  It seemed like you were completely hard on the family and not at all trying to see their perpective!  You made it seem like they were mean when all they were doing was loving their brother and responding to what he told them!  


I am sizzling mad at how you handled this show!  Extrememly disappointed with you Dr. Phil!  

I can't hear what isn't there! They had no issue with Jamie's race. Didn't you see how accepting (of her) they were in the "green room" in Dr Phil's "after the taping" segment? Their issues with her were based on Tardus' incessant complaints about her "bipolarism" and just about everything else under the sun. If you want your family to accept your spouse, don't go whining to them everytime something doesn't perfectly "suit" you!

That is soooo not what it's about!!! I don't know why everyone keeps talking about the trip to Savannah & her anxiety!!! The bigger issue is the way this family talked to their daughter in law!!! Ifsomeone felt that way about me, I would no longer go around them again!! They are racist!


This black family is so racist I just want to scream!!!!! They don't like their daughter in law bc she's white!! What about her culture, the way she eats, etc.... They don't care bc they are black!!! Get real people!!! White people aren't racists anymore, it's black people who are!!!

It appears to me that Jamie never learned respect for anyone especially her mother as displayed in the episode at the rehearsal dinner. Tardus' family seems genuinely loving and respectable but he has created a rift between them and Jamie by bad mouthing her to them. I think they should all put their cards on the table and come to an agreement about how to deal with Jamies emotional weaknesses and Tardus' one way communication skills and get the strenghth and support of the extended family.
