Would you go on the Dr. Phil show?

So awhile back I wrote to Dr. Phil about my in-laws (In case you didn't know, I have nightmare in-laws, and FH would agree with this), and had gotten to the last steps to be on the show, but then I couldn;'t make the taping dates because of school obligations. I saw the topic come up again and I sent my stuff in again..now again they want to go through the process again, they want me to answer all of these questions and send pictures, etc. I;d like to fix things with my in-laws, but I don't know if I feel like rehashing everything on TV especially since I don't even know what they're going to come out with. They're notorious liars and they twist EVERYTHING (quick example, they were using bigoted language, and I said I didn;t appreciate it, they asked me why I cared since I wasn;t part of the group they were talking about, and after a lot of prodding I told them that if I were in a room and they weren;t there and someoen were using bigoted language to refer to their ethnic group, I would say something in that case as well, even though I'm not part of the group..I thought that would be language they could understand, since obviosuly principle evades them, but their version of the story is that I called them all K***s)...and I mean I did immature things, when I was younger (FH and I have been dating since we were 16), not that they were even unjuistified, so I just don't know what they're going to come out with. SO for one, I don't klnow if Im just emotionally up to rehashing everyhting and 2, I have no idea what they'd come out with on national TV....but on the other hand, nothing else seems to be working at all, and maybe we need some kind of push to get things on the right path. What would you do?
