Dr. Phil.com - Shows - The Fight over Your Child

This afternoon took on another case of a child being alienated from the non-custodial parent. It is sad that parents are unable to accept the consequences of their divorce and move on.

“Let me take a moment to read a few lines of a heartbreaking letter of a 10-year-old boy caught in the middle of an ugly, ugly custody battle between his parents,” Dr. Phil says. He reads, “‘I’m bawling my eyes out with the tears of sadness. Dad, I never thought I would say this, but I always think that you’re with another girl or sleeping with another girl. Question for dad: Mom says she still loves you and misses you. Do you still love her? Put a check in one of the boxes: Yes or no.’”


Dr. Phil addresses his audience. “You guys know how I feel about children being pulled into adult matters. If you’re getting a divorce, if you’re in a custody battle, if you know someone who is, please stop what you’re doing, sit down, and listen and watch what we’re going to talk about today. I’m doing this show today because I want to be the voice of the silent victims in the dissolution of marriage, and that’s the children.”
