Everytime I read the latest issue of O Magazine (O stands for Oprah) I am filled with joy about the wonderful spread of recovery throughout the world. However, when I get to Dr. Phil's section (which I usually try to ignore) it feels as if my father has just jumped out of the pages. This month Dr. Phil advises women to avoid infidelity in their relationships by "investing energy in their appearance and the level of sexual activity in the relationship." A person doesn't need a PhD to give this advice. All he needs is to hang around men in bars who objectify women. Why would Oprah take advice from a man who sounds just like an alcoholic? I guess even Oprah has flaws (though, it's hard to believe) and maybe she has found a father figure in Dr. Phil. I guess, just for today I can accept that even my greatest idols are just human beings with their own issues to work out.
