Dr. Phil

My Mother-in-Law Believes I'm a Killer (12x52)

Air date: Nov 20, 2013

Ty says his wife, Nicole, and mom, Katherine, have not seen each other or spoken in more than seven years, because Katherine has made several serious accusations against her daughter-in-law, including involvement in her 19-year-old son’s death in a car crash in 2006, political corruption and impersonating a lawyer — allegations Nicole adamantly denies. Ty says his mother badgers him and his wife with persistent phone calls and threats, so much so that they moved their family — including two children whom Katherine has never met — more than 300 miles away, just to get away from her. Ty says his mother hasn’t been the same since his brother was killed, and he thinks she needs serious help. Tensions run high when the three come together on Dr. Phil’s stage. How does Katherine justify her concerns about her daughter-in-law? And, what does Nicole want to say to Katherine? Plus, a private investigator looks into Katherine’s claims against Nicole. What does he discover? And, can this family reach a truce?
