Dr. Phil

My Ex is Slowly Killing Our Daughter (12x101)

Air date: Feb 12, 2014

For the past eight years, Pam says her ex-husband, Ed, has been enabling their 23-year-old daughter, Andee, by giving her money for drugs — and even driving her to drug houses — which she believes is helping to send Andee to an early grave. Pam says that since the age of 15, her daughter has been in and out of six rehab facilities and claims that Ed sabotaged any progress she would have made by continuing to pay all of Andee’s bills. Ed admits that he has allowed his daughter to manipulate him out of more than $200,000 over the years but says he loves her, and he’s afraid she’ll resort to drastic measures, such as prostitution — or worse — if he cuts her off. Can Dr. Phil help him change his approach? Plus, why does Ed blame Pam for his daughter’s addiction? Then, hear from Andee, who admits that she lost custody of her 5-year-old daughter because of her drug use. How does she describe her relationship with her father? With the addiction overpowering her life, will she grab onto the lifeline that Dr. Phil offers and commit to getting clean?
