Have you ever had a problem where you wondered, am I the only one who is dealing with this? Lori says that after 18 years of marriage, she thinks she may be a lesbian. Her husband thinks she’s going through a phase and wants their normal life back. Dr. Phil and psychotherapist and sexologist Dr. Michele Angello weigh in. Then, Sarah, 21, wants to know if it’s normal that she loves films that are disturbing, shocking and disgusting. Her mother says she doesn’t understand her daughter’s love of bloody, gory and utterly terrifying movies. And, Lynda says she has a master’s degree but can only find a job as a model.
