Dr. Phil

Mother-in-Law Mayhem (10x110)

Ausstrahlung: Feb 27, 2012

Robert says his mom, Kathy, calls him and his wife, Viv, 20 to 30 times a day, and if they don’t answer, will leave verbally-abusive voicemails and then call their work, other relatives, and even the police, until she gets a response. Robert and Viv say Kathy’s behavior is ruining their month-long marriage. Is kicking Kathy out of their lives the newlyweds’ only option? Kathy says she’s hurt that Robert and Viv got engaged and married without telling her. She admits she’s overprotective and has trouble letting go of her son, but says her voicemails are in response to the vile things Robert says to her. Can Dr. Phil encourage this family to establish healthy boundaries?
