Investigations, accusations, allegations -- Dr. Phil's guests are ex in-laws who are practically putting each other on trial. Cindy and Randy say their ex daughter-in-law, Michele, is an unfit mother, and their 8-year-old granddaughter is living in danger. Michele says Cindy and Randy make up sick accusations. Who's really telling the truth? Renowned attorney Lauren Lake weighs in on how the courts will judge their situation. When the bickering becomes heated between the couple and Michele, find out who storms offstage. Will Dr. Phil be able to settle this battle once and for all, and will Randy and Cindy be able to finally see their granddaughter? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

Poor Child

These people are playing moral police. So what if mom dates. I wish her luck! Perhaps she'll be able to find somebody who will make this family strong and complete and get away from the ex-in-laws. If they've not been able to have the child removed prior to this, then how can they say this child is in danger?

 

My hat's off to mom. She's handling herself very well. Shame on them for their self-righteous, judgemental behavior.

So sorry Michele

I am watching more and more of this show. I feel for you so much Michele. I'm in the same situation (grandparents obsessed with son and would love custody of him so they are spreading so many untruths about me and my husband). The difference is that my husband is on my side so I can only imagine what you are going through. It is so difficult to deal with somebody who can just spread lies about someone. I just don't know how my MIL sleeps at night. I could fight fire with fire and tell people the truth about her (b/c my husband has told me many many things), however, I wouldn't stoop to that level. I know she has something up her sleeve in the works now b/c of a very strange letter she sent my husband. I'm fearful b/c I don't know what she is planning. Like you said Michele, they seem to have an advantage b/c they have the money.

Huh?

The grandparents on this show are completely out-of-line.  If all this stuff they are spewing was true, CPS would have done something about it a LONG time ago.  These people keep talking about how this girl is a drug addict, and that they said they saw drug paraphernalia in her house...   why didn't they call the police right then?  They are from the state of California and it is illegal in that state to have drug paraphernalia in your house.  If they TRULY saw those things, then they had a DUTY to report it to the police, but they did nothing.  Hence, I think 99% of what they are saying is B.S. and MINIMALLY, completely unsubtiated.  They might think they are making her look bad on nationwide TV, but as far as I'm concerned, they are the ones who came out looking loony!

Michelle and her In-Laws

This mother-in-law from hell can sure turn on the tears when she needs to. The father-in-law is an angry person...nasty, nasty, nasty!

Michelle IS the mother of these children and the in-laws forget it is their druggie son who is responsible for the family being without money and in this position they find themselves in.

If I was Michelle I would simply tell them to take a hike.....especially after being dragged onto the show today. What are they goin to do?  Burn her house down? I think not. Do not let them inside the house and keep strict tabs on the kids as to who is running stories to the grandparents.

If I had in-laws like that...and if I was in similar position...I can tell you someone's butt would be burning already.

Actions speak louder that words

I find it very interesting that Randy gets absolutely outraged when he thinks he or his wife are being interrupted.  However, that jerk starts shouting the second Michele, her friend or even DR PHIL open their mouths. Dr. Phil even threatened to throw him off the stage he has such a big nasty mouth.

I think Randy and his wife are angry, mean spirited people who do not know how to relax and enjoy life.  It is obvious that those two people blame Michele for their son being in jail.  Their allegations about Michele are too bizarre.  If one ounce of what they said was true then those children would have been taken away from their mother.  Michelle has been investigated numerous times by CPS who have interviewed the children and have found none of the allegations to be substantiated. 

I believe it is in the children's best interrest that they NOT see those "grand parents" because I absolutely believe that they bad mouth Michelle to the children and will continue to do so.

SHAME ON THEM!!!!

You Go Michele

I am very surprised that Dr. Phil let Michele's ex in-laws continuious attack Michele.  The father stated just now, that he always tried to be nice to Michele and bring her into the family and show her what normal is - ok right!  The way he acted, you can tell he has anger issues and you are usually more demure when in public, he was blasting Michele and then her friend before her friend could get more than two words out. 

 

He called Michele and slut, whore, prostitute, then he called her and her friend lesbians.  She isn't going to be having men in and out of the house if she's a lesbian.  HELLO!  The ex in-laws were just making stuff up as they went along.  Dr. Phil should have shut them down for a few minutes.  I am glad MIchelle walked off, I would have too.  I was so angry and frustrated for her.

 

Sometimes in-laws have a problem with anyone marrying their child and it seems that way here.  I know the father of the child is not in the picture, Michele has been taking care of her children without support.  Michele you go girl!

Crazy

I feel so bad for Michele.  The grandparents on this show were completely out of line, especially Randy.  He consisently interrupted and make unbelievable comments.  Would an 8 year old know if her mom was being paid for sex?  I can understand why Michele doesn't want anything to do with them.  Good for her for being the bigger person and saying she would try family planning.
