"You're Not the Boss of Me!"



Imagine someone telling you what to do 24 hours a day, seven days a week, controlling and criticizing every move you make. Dr. Phil’s guests say they know that feeling all too well. Cindy says her husband, Mike, controls everything she does, from what she eats, to when she prays, to how fast she walks. Mike says he doesn’t dominate his wife; he just cares. Cindy admits their marriage has gotten so bad, she drinks alcohol to cope. Find out what happened three years ago that may have contributed to Mike’s behavior. Then, Daniel says his wife, Jenni, constantly nags and criticizes him about every chore he does, calls him names and emasculates him. He says he locks himself in the garage to get away from her! Jenni admits she likes to be the boss of her household and stalks her husband around the house to do it. What’s behind her critical spirit? Dr. Phil puts these controllers to the test!

The Dr. Phil Housewives: My Own Worst Enemy



Dr. Phil engages in a powerful confro
ntation with Kimm. Will a heartfelt letter from her 16-year-old daughter inspire the mom, who has hardly left her bed in eight years, to make a change? Then, when she reveals a shocking secret, are the other Housewives really surprised? Next, when the women confront Rachael, she breaks down in tears of frustration and finally opens up about why she’s so angry all the time! When Dr. Phil tells her she can quit the process, will she take him up on his offer? Then, Michelle is brought to tears when she recalls a recent conversation with her emotionally absent father. She wonders: if her own father won’t love her, who will? When Dr. Phil sets her up on her first date in more than year, will she stop working long enough to enjoy a night out?

Parental Alienation



It’s been called the ultimate form of child abuse — parents brainwashing their children against an ex-spouse in order to win custody. Could you be harming your child emotionally and not even know it? For 12 years, Chrissy and her ex-husband, Dennis, have been embroiled in a nasty custody battle for their two children. Dennis says that Chrissy badmouths him and his new wife, Gina, to their children and even took out a protective order against him, while Chrissy feels that her ex is an extreme disciplinarian who is teaching their kids to be pathological liars. Areva Martin, attorney and women’s advocate, examines Chrissy’s legal position, while Lisa Bloom, CBS legal analyst, weighs in on Dennis’ side. Will the parents reach a truce for the sake of their kids, or will they continue to battle it out in court? Plus, Dr. Phil speaks to former guest Bridget Marks who made headlines when she had to hand over her twin daughters to their biological father after a court ruled that she falsely accused him of molestation.

End the Silence on Domestic Violence, Part 2



Every 15 seconds in America, a woman is abused, and it is the most under-reported phenomena in our society. Dr. Phil continues his mission to end the silence on domestic violence! First, he speaks with Mallory, a pregnant 19-year-old, who says her boyfriend, Brett, is abusive. Even though she says he pushes her around, has threatened her life and locked her in a closet, she refuses to end the relationship. Brett admits he has anger issues, and he says he loves Mallory, but sometimes he can’t stand her. Is there hope for this teen couple? And, Lori fears her 18-year-old daughter, Kelsi, is still involved with her abusive ex-boyfriend. Kelsi admits she’s torn between her feelings for her ex and following her family’s wishes. When these teens get a wake-up call from a mother whose daughter was murdered, will it change their behavior? Teens, do you know the warning signs of abuse and how to exit a dangerous relationship safely? Parents, do you know what to look for if you think your daughter is in a violent relationship? Don’t miss this important show! Make some noise -- join Dr. Phil’s campaign and pledge to end the silence on domestic violence!
