I would like to ask a question about something I thought i heard on the show and I follow the family pretty closely since the first time they were on the show.What i thought I heard was that Alexandra signed some paper stating she would not live with someone without being married.How old was Alexandra when she signed that agreement ?A minor?I feel like Alexandra is getting a bad name here and I think she is heading for serious trouble and I think that some people seem to be alright with that I feel bad for her.

 The Dr Phil family is almost hard to watch. i feel for Erin I to have a son that thinks of himself before his three children. (two from one mother 1 from another)  I dont get it Dr Phil I had my son when I was 19 and I would never have thought about myself before him. Dont these parents think  at all about the FACT that what the children see is what they learn.   Its hard enough growing up in the world today . As for Alexandra she is on a pitty party. I cant believe that she said that she didnt feel that her mother didnt love her. give me a break what does she think nathan feels. he is old enough to understand what is going on here. Alexandra's daughter is good enough for her  to fight for but her son ( that she made such a big deal that she was going to be a parent to ) isnt. Does she not think that her son see's this and also see's that  her boyfriend is more important. What is this girl thinking. I really feel that Erin should have both.  She was right when she told Alex that she sometimes had to let her fall. I feel her pain on this one. I have always been there for my son but this time its the worst and I have to take myself away for the drama. Ihope erin can do the same when this is all over. Come on Alex step out of the box and  watch the shows again and again until you hear what your saying. You are no longer the kid and you havent been since you gave birth to the first one. You think you have it hard now what until your children are teenagers. and when they grow up to be adults and they dont want anything to do with you Please dont ask yourself WHY.  keep the Dr Phil family show's close at hand so you can recap. Good luck Erin

Well ya i feel bad for Alex to,but shes the one who doesnt want to change ,she wants to keep living with that boy friend,you say her mom is mean well not to me because unless you have been in there shoes you dont know,i have,i raised my grandson,because his mom was just like Alex,didnt want to do what was right for the kids,more worried about herself,so to me until she can show every one she has changed,and wants to be that little boys mom,he needs to stay right where he is,in a loving and stable place.So Erin good for you,I done the same thing,taking care of my grandson,and i wouldnt trade him for the world.

yes I agree that Alex ought to be kissing the ground her mom walks on,why because ive been there,i have taken care of my grandson for 19 years,when he wa just a year old,my daughter wanted to run around with every guy she seen,she didnt do a thing for him then,and still doesnt,she reamrried when he was small and didnt want to go with her,she had 3 girls,moved out of town,hardly ever came to see him,said her dad and i wouldnt let her,which was a lie.But any wayI think Alex still has a lot of growing up to do and one day she will realize that her mom wasnt being mean,she just cared about her grandbaby who isnt big enough to fight for him self.So Alex grow up and do whats right and quit being mad at your mom,one day you will realize she was right.

I think Alex ought to be glad her mom and dad are taking care of Nathan,there are more grand parents raising there grand kids now a days,i should know,my husband and i raised and adopted our oldest grandson and he will be 19 next month.It seems to me that Alex would rather be with Tony then her son,thats not right,her kids should come first.She ought to be thanking her mom,for being there for that little boy.My grandson was glad to live with us,and wanted us to adopt him and give him our last name,yes she may love him,but she wasnt around for all the things in his life,just like Alex,my daughter was 16,she was married to my grandsons father,but he left,so my daughter wanted to run around,so we deceided to keep him,Like Alex,my daughter could come see him any time she wanted,but didnt,always had an excuse.For such a long time my grandson got to where he didnt even want to see his mom,and he does call her mom,and me grandma,but shes never done any thing for him,but as he has got older he is finally wanting to be around her more.Any way my point is if Alex loves Nathan,she would do whats right for him,leave him with her parents,where she knows he is safe and taken care of,because to me she still hasnt grown up enough to know,whats right,if she wants to keep living with Tony,and not her son,and besides if he loved her he would move out and help her and support her,by getting her son back,she said he was there to support her but hes not in my opinion.Well hope she comes to her sences.

I keep reading posts telling Erin to back off.  ALEXANDRA gave her son, her child, to ERIN, because of TONY.  HOW can Erin back off, when her precious little ANGEL keeps dragging her parents into her personal drama?
I think that Nathan's father has a lot of sense(..thanks to the poster who set me straight as to WHY Alex couldn"t live with a man and Nathan, out of wedlock.).  How come we don't hear him whining, see him sucking his thumb, plagued with self pity?
Maybe too many grandparents are backing off, and maybe that is who so many innocent children are turning up dead, or being abused.
Hillary Clinton wrote the book IT TAKES A VILLAGE.  With Alexandra, in sure in hell takes at least that, if not a State!

Erin has proven to be a control freak, yes she is looking after HER grandbaby, as far as I see it, (I am a mother of 3 grown kids), she does this to try to make up for the mistakes that she has made with her own children.  I think Erin should realize her daughter is a product that she raised.  When are children become lost we don't slam them we help and try to make things better.  These are her children as I can see with the both of them all messed up she has made some crazy decision of her own.  Look in the mirror lady and try to help with the mess that she created while raising her own two kids

OK so the way i see it is i like Alex i think she really is trying and people are trying to be down on her but at the same time i feel like she is holding something back like shes not telling the whole truth! And Erin wow where do i start she just wants to make Alex out as the bad person and Erin is so good right I'm not falling for it she wants to criticize how Alex is with her kids but when Alex makes comments about how she was raised oh no now shes getting into a different subject i think she is evil, sorry thats just how i feel shes a jerk to her daughter i think there relationship needs some work and all Erin wants to do is make Alex look like the bad person! Alex mother to mother I'm 21 also i think u need to make some amazing decisions for your children i understand you want to keep your boyfriend but your son is way more important you need to get on your feet for your children and be able to financially, emotionally and physically be able to take care of them with out the help you can do it by yourself i believe in you girl!!

I agree,.................these mother and daughter should have used the help they previously gotten from Dr. Phil to move forward in the right direction.......instead of becoming more disfunctional!

Thanks, I must know you! You are so right about the foster parents who cared for me from 1975 to 1978. There were a huge blessing in my life and many many otherchildren as well.
