The baby steps of progress demonstrated on this show with Larry and Michael are heartwarming. Am I too gullible to think TV psychiatry works? Isn't it also a key truth that Larry's daughters (and Michael) will need to rid themself of anger and dependence to make themself whole from inside out?

My problem? I want to sit in your audience every day, but work and am thousands of miles away.

The dad reminded me so much of how my mother is, only he is trying to have a relationship with his kids. My mom doesn't even want to try & denies she has ever done anything wrong.

I feel that it's such a shame that these (grown) women are allowing their father's lack of love and understanding hinder their enjoyment in life. My father was an alcoholic Tyrant and doesn't remember my childhood due to blackouts but that doesn't disable my enjoyment in my current life. Get over it...not everyone had a rosie childhood. These women have families of their own now and need to concentrate on loving them...instead of hanging onto this junk from the past. You can't change other people's bad behavior.

Dr. Keith,
My name is Tanya and I can relate to this story and I belive people can change and it is good for everyone to to be together on the hoilidays. But what if some ones lies and deception has tore your familt apart so much that there is no saving this relationship? I haven't talked to my sister in about 6 months because of her last series of lies and I can't bring my self to for give her because she brought my son into it and I can't let her hurt him like she has everyone else in our family.
I just want to tell that family, If there is a chance to fix it, please take it and try and things will get better. Thank you for reading.
