Fecha de emisión: May 11, 2015

Jennifer, 40, claims her parents, Anne and Charles, “fraudulently” gained temporary custody of her 6-year-old daughter and also turned her 18-year-old daughter, Sarah, and 20-year-old son, Josh, against her. Anne and Charles deny any wrongdoing and say Jennifer’s behavior over the years has been so irrational and unstable that they had no choice but to “rescue” their grandchildren — and begin the adoption process with their youngest granddaughter. They say Jennifer is mentally ill, volatile, moody and irresponsible. With a critical custody hearing just days away, Dr. Phil brings this family together in search of a resolution. Should Jennifer have full custody, or are her children better off with their grandparents? Hear from Sarah — what does she have to say about her mother’s behavior? Then, Anne and Charles also accuse Jennifer of abusing prescription drugs — which she denies. Jennifer asks to take a drug test. Don’t miss Part 2 tomorrow, when the results are revealed! Plus, Josh speaks out, explaining why he “excommunicated” his mother. How can Jennifer work toward getting her children back in her life?
