Dr. Phil

I Feel Trapped by My Controlling Husband (12x160)

Udgivelsesdato: Maj 19, 2014

Shara claims that her husband of one year, Luke, is a “mean, insecure know-it-all” who controls her every move — so much so that she says she feels like a prisoner in their marriage. Shara claims that Luke refuses to let her own a cell phone, hold a job or leave the house alone for more than five minutes, and says he also dictates how to dress and wear her makeup — allegations he denies. Shara also claims that Luke is verbally abusive, constantly telling her that she is lazy, ugly, worthless and stupid. Luke admits that he can be abrasive when speaking to Shara but insists that he is simply trying to help “guide” her, because he says she lacks motivation and street smarts. He also claims that his wife is “no angel” and has a vicious temper, which he says landed her behind bars for assaulting him during a recent argument. Shara denies putting her hands on Luke — how does she explain her arrest? Dr. Phil sorts through the accusations on both sides — and uncovers a source of pain in the couple’s past. How can Luke and Shara get their marriage back on track?
