Here is the description from his website:
"There Are Days That I Hate Her"
Robyn adopted 10-year-old Alyssa from the Ukraine and says she actually has thoughts of sending her back. She says her daughter screams and cries, and even threatened to kill herself! Robyn’s husband, Joe, can’t imagine living without his adoptive daughter.

It'll be interesting to see if Dr. Phil is as clueless on this topic as he seems to be on so many others.

Not surprising that the husband "can't imagine living life without her" but the wife likely feels she can't imagine living the rest of her life WITH HER. Typical in RAD. Quite often, the husbands (or whoever stays at home with the child) is not affected or treated the same way by the child. Which is what makes the mothers look like nut cases and everyone thinks it's THEIR FAULT. Just thought I'd mention it.

I was having flashbacks watching those two! It could have been my husband and I talking on that stage. That's part of the issue, the way the kids have such a gift for manipulating one parent against the other in a manner that's so believable, the one parent does really think the other parent is nuts, over-reacting, too hard on the child, etc, I've heard it all before. Argh!

I wanted to slap that guy and tell him he needs to believe his WIFE, not his kid. He needs to SUPPORT HER and NOT take whatever the kid says at face value.
