A Blown Inheritance and Threats with a Loaded Gun: Our Mother is Out of Control (18x113)

Air date: Feb 26, 2020

Siblings Kristle, Kayla, and Patrick all claim their mother Sherry is out of control. They say she’s blown through an inheritance worth over a quarter of a million dollars in the past 11 months by running up $500 bar tabs with her friends and strangers, and buying lavish things, like multiple motorcycles. But that’s not all. These adult children claim Sherry is popping non-prescribed pills and washing them down with rum after work. They claim her behavior has even become violent, including pulling out a loaded gun during an argument with Kayla on Christmas Eve. Sherry admits she spent the inheritance and pulled out the gun, but says abusing pills and alcohol is all in her past.
