I won't say I'm surprised. I gave up on Dr. Phil when I started to notice how many moms were being bashed and blamed on stage while no one ever mentioned the fact that dad wasn't even in the picture. Personally, I think Phil's got some issues there.
But I do thank you for sharing your experience. I think we can all learn so much from each other when it comes to handling family relationships. Especially when money comes into the picture.
I am beyond impressed that you were able to mend your relationship with your sister. That speaks volumes to both your connection and character.
