My Mother-in-Law Destroyed My Marriage (12x33)

Air date: Oct 24, 2013

Soon-to-be exes Joey and Amanda say their marriage was over six months after they tied the knot, and Joey blames his mother-in-law, Mina, for stirring drama. He claims that Mina falsely accused him of being inappropriate with his 2-year-old daughter and told police that he tried to kidnap the child. How does Mina describe the accusations? Amanda says Joey has anger issues and yells, curses and punches the air when he’s mad. She also claims he once pushed her when she was 8 weeks pregnant and holding their then 18-month-old daughter. How does Joey explain the incident? And, who should have custody of their two children? Dr. Phil weighs in and offers this family advice for moving forward. Then, Ashley says her husband, Matt, had an affair with one of her friends a year-and-a-half ago, and she’s afraid to let him out of her sight. Matt admits he has cheated on his wife with three different women but insists he’s been faithful since the last affair. Why did he stray? Can Ashley learn to trust him again, or are they better off apart?
