My Sloppy, Lazy, Mooching Daughter Needs to Move Out! (12x138)

Air date: Apr 17, 2014

Elizabeth and her husband, Bob, say they are desperate to get Elizabeth’s 20-year-old “mooching,” “spoiled brat” daughter, Ali, out of their house. They claim that Ali refuses to go to college or get a job, has totally trashed her room and also steals from them — including admittedly pawning a $2,000 diamond necklace for $15, which she says she used to buy cigarettes and gas. The parents also claim that Ali hangs out with a bad crowd and repeatedly makes poor decisions. They say that last year, their biggest fear became a reality, when Ali told them that she was sexually assaulted at a party. Ali opens up about the incident. And, she explains some of her questionable behavior — why does she blame her mother for her current situation? Elizabeth and Bob admit that they help Ali by giving her money and a car and recently, even let her fiancé move in, rent free. Dr. Phil has some tough questions for the family — see who steps up and takes accountability. Can Elizabeth and Bob learn to stop enabling Ali? And, is she ready to stand on her own two feet?
