Dr. Phil

Caught on Camera: Abused Husband or Abused Wife? You Decide (12x97)

Fecha de emisión: Feb 06, 2014

Marie says that her husband of 8 years, Ron, has a violent temper, and she’s afraid for her safety and the safety of their 4-year-old daughter. She says that Ron’s mood can change within seconds and claims that he has become verbally and physically abusive. She alleges that Ron has pushed her down the stairs and hit her in the head — and claims that he has threatened to do much worse, recently even writing “kill” on the bathroom mirror. Ron adamantly denies that he has ever physically or verbally abused Marie. He claims that she is a compulsive liar who often mixes her prescription medications with alcohol — and says that she has serious anger issues of her own. How does Marie respond? Is she telling the full truth about her husband’s behaviors — and her own? Dr. Phil sorts through the allegations and looks at video from Dr. Phil cameras placed inside the family’s home — what did they capture? Can Dr. Phil help this couple find a way to stop fighting and start communicating — for the sake of their child?
