Megan's Men: Who Is More Controlling, Her Dad or Her Husband? (14x149)

Air date: May 05, 2016

Allen says he and his daughter, Megan, were close her entire life until she met her husband, Jim, when she was 18 and Jim was 26. He claims Jim is controlling to the point where Megan no longer has friends, and he claims one of Megan’s close friends told him that she saw Jim drag Megan out of a car by her hair, a claim both Megan and Jim absolutely deny. Allen also claims that Jim has gone out of his way to turn his only daughter against him and that all he wants is for his daughter and grandchildren to be back in his life. Megan says she never imagined cutting her father out of her life, but that she did because of what she and her husband say are Allen’s poor choices. She says she fears for her children’s well-being when they are alone with her father because she claims that even when she would set ground rules with Allen, he would laugh them off and never listened. Megan denies that her husband is controlling and says he has helped her to speak up for herself and become more independent. Jim says he never turned his wife against her father and claims that Allen always wants to play the victim but that in reality, Allen is the one with the problem. Can Dr. Phil help this feuding family come to a truce so that Allen can see his grandkids?
