I can totally relate to your comment.  I pray daily for my 25 year old daughter who is the mommy to my 5 year old granddaughter and soon to be another innocent baby.  It is heartbreaking to pray that even if it means jail you would rather see them there than destroying their lives and the lives of their familiy with addiction.  You live day to day waiting for that awful telephone call.  Along with the addiction also comes so much drama and every day is another crisis in their lives.  There is power in a mother's prayer.  My hope is in the Lord!

Same story with my 25 year old daughter, with 15 years of addiction to drugs.  She has my 5 year old granddaughter and another baby due later this year.  Continues to make poor choices and decisions for herself and her daughter.  Currently homeless and constantly stuggling.  I had to move to another state to stop enabling, but it meant leaving behind my little granddaughter.  She has no choices in her situation.  I tried to get custody of her, but nowdays the courts think it is in the best interest of the child to stay with drugged up parents and all that goes along with that.   My heart is so heavy for both my daughter and little granddaughter.

Dr. Phil say to this spoil brat girl  ,that he loves his daughter...not that is not love is called enabling ,trying to be accepted, love is respect ,is not given they money or buy a condo ,when you love your kid you don't take him or her to the drug dealers ,you don't spoil them to the point they use and abuse you,that is not love ,is teaching your kids about drugs ..something is bothering this spoil brat ,yes I am calling her a brat ,becasuse she is getting all the attention ....and they should go the the point,money and luxury is not enough! Why I saying this? because I raised three children by myself ,and they did it all righ!get to College and they made it themselves, they work hard ,to  we were not that rich ,but good morals and standarts helped me to make it thru !

This man is not a father ,he is a enabler ,a pimp, he is looking for acceptance from her daughter ,he thinks not doing this awful things his daughter will not accept or love him ,she in the other side is a user and abuser ,typical of the drug users ,addicts! he is is like Dr. Phil said a part of the problem and is going to be part of her  being DEAD! I wonder what would she do if this daddy is poor? what a waiste......without him she probably be sober ? when you are hungry and someone bring you a plate you will eat it! if you don't have monetary support you have to be clean ,with this  kind of father she is going down pretty soon,I can't believe he takes this woman to the drug places to get drugs ,that is the moment she lost the respect for her father! only a miracle will fix and save this woman whith this enabler around her is not way she will became sober! he needs more help  than her is obvious...oh my! it makes me make me so proud of my daughters ....hard workers paying themselves to College ,making a lot of sacrifices,we were not rich but trying to make it in life , and now they are adults and great people with careers.while this spoil brat is using drugs and her daddy is the one who helps her to be a druggie ,indeed I am so proud of my kids!

These shows are interesting and I watch almost all the time. The only Problem that I have with his Show is that there is no way to find out what the follow up results are! Was this Girl Cured, did she go to that rehab place in Texas that is the best in the Nation. What were the results of her Progress since she was on the show 6 months ago. How about some Information! Is there some reason that we are not informed! Please give me a Break!

On today's show, you said that the father was to blame for supporting her daughter in that you accused him of being wrong supporting his daughter indirectly by giving financial support that she used to support her drug addiction. you made him believe that if he did not, she would have no choice but to change her behavior!


I do not agree with you on this because drug addicts have to get their fix anyway and whatever it takes. she would have sold her body and could have involved with undesirable elements of society we call pimps. she might have never got out of their clutches. if she would have tried to make some quick money and she could have gone into a controlled territory where she could have got killed. not every drug addict has a father who supported his drug addict child financially. the soiety, law enforcement and judicial system failed to save them and we have millions of drug addicts rotting in America.


I believe, Ms. Jordan's father's help kept her away from the bad people where she could have been dead or ill and her family would have not known whereabout her. She is alive and was able make it to your show and with your professional help and love of her parents, she might recover.

I'm a mother and I agree with Dr Phil, mother was blaming the Dad and she was trying to show everyone she was innocent. Well look, she took her daugher two days in a row to get drugs.

My daughter was huffing chemicals in the 4th grade.  We found out -- and she was taken for counseling for quite some time.  The Counselors didn't think she was doing it to get high.  She was always very shy and anxious and they thought she was doing it to calm herself.

She got though high school.  She had learning problems, and it was a struggle.  In her senior year in high school, she started drinking and it was all downhill from there.  She is now 24.

Long story...

I believe she has suffered brain damage.  Where do we go for help or is there no help?  She has been sober for about 1 year and recently suffered a major blow -- when a boyfriend dumped her.  

Love your quick and incisive comments on every show!  But this father has some observable issues that made me concerned for his daughter's prognosis.   You said he obviously loves her ....but I think he also loves being the power and authority in every room.  His money continues to speak volumes -and has always worked to his benefit.  This time, his power and authority aren't getting the job done.  You cut him a fair amount of slack on the show.   Since we can't see what happened behind the scenes, I wonder if you found out how he treated the professionals at the other treatment centers?  Were they women?  Did he strut and demean them?   I have a sneaky suspicion that unless the advice and directions are given by a man, and
a very powerful man, this dad will not follow through with a single task.

i am currently watching the Dr Phil show from the Tampa Bay area in St Petersburg.  This is our life same exact scenario is occuring in our household with my Son - Matt.  His father is the enabling to the point where he drives him on a daily basis to a drug dealers house to buy his pills for the day.
