“My Mother is a Menace! She is Controlling My Daughter with Her Money and Turning Her against Me!” (13x77)

:

Rachel says her mother, Dixie, is “controlling, narcissistic and pure evil” and has turned her 18-year-old daughter, Abbie, against her. She says Dixie is buying her daughter’s loyalty and affection and claims that’s the only reason Abbie chooses to live with her grandmother. Rachel — who hasn’t spoken to Dixie in eight months — admits she was a party girl when she was younger and often wasn’t around for Abbie, but she insists she has changed. How can she repair her relationship with her mother and her daughter? Dixie says she doesn’t trust that Rachel is really a changed woman, and she feels Abbie is better off living with her. What does Abbie have to say about her living situation — and her relationship with her mother? Dr. Phil reunites the three generations. Can they hit the reset button and move forward in a peaceful, healthy way?
