(Original Air Date: 11/27/07) Dr. Phil follows up with a family torn apart when the mother was banned from her only son’s wedding. The bride-to-be, Michelle, said she’d rather burn in hell than let her future mother-in-law, Jane, attend the ceremony, and her fiancé, Jay, stood behind her decision. This sent the entire family into a tailspin, with the best man resigning, the aunt disowning the groom and the wedding planner on alert to call 911 if Jane showed up. The big day has come and gone, and everyone returns to update Dr. Phil with the latest. Were they able to bury the hatchet before the wedding? Jane has gone through a rollercoaster of emotions, and Dr. Phil finds out what has her so mad at him, she even wrote him a scathing letter one week after her appearance. Has Jane done a 180-degree turn since? Has Michelle stopped her “campaign of hate mail” as Jane called it and opened up her arms to her husband’s mother? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

introspection

  all of them should focus on thier own shortcomings and try to improve. the mother and bride are so much alike it's not funny. you know you marry your mother alot of times. especially at thier young age.  better see the good qualities in your mother in law and emphasize them to yourself and husband.  pillow talk can be an area where you bitch to each other about family. family events are where you give positive strokes to those around you. just a hint - chances are mom won't change. she deserves respect as an elder during your encounters. in your own home you can be the adult.

I think the wife is the self righteous hateful person and the husband is a whimp. The mother needs to leave them TOTALLY alone for 6- 12 months and the wifes true colors will appear. If they don't like mom sending anything then send it back. The both need to grow up.

That blond girl is HATEFUL!  I can't believe that young man would want to spend the rest of his life with her...she'll clean his clock in divorce court in about three years and he'll go crying back to mama.

Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. The bride, if she respects and loves her husband, should show her mother in law some respect. It is his mother. How would she like it if he treated her mother that way. The mother in law should just leave them both alone. She should direct all of her conversations to her son if the bride is going to behave like a spoiled rotten little brat. The son, I think is just a big coward and the most disrespectful and ungrateful son I have ever seen. His mother raised him and supported him his whole life and he owes it to her to be respectful of her. He doesnt have to agree with her, but he owes her respect.

Why are you people supporting this awful woman?  Jane is just mean and spiteful!!  What is wrong with you?  She is EVIL, EVIL, EVIL!!!  I had this travesty of a human being as a mother-in-law, and I divorced my spineless husband because of her!  My "Jane" offered my husband five grand to abandon me at the altar.  My "Jane" told him that his "b*tch" was not allowed in her house and he LISTENED!!  My "Jane" tried to kill my second child by kicking me in the stomach as I was carrying her!  I am telling you right now, Jane is this woman once over!  Jay, do NOT give your mother an inch, and don't listen to these critics who are jumping all over you and your wife.  Jane needs psychological help, and I can't believe the amount of malice against the newly married couple when it is SOOOOO obvious that Jane is simply nuts!!!
Are you kidding? You can't blame Jane for the evil actions of your own MIL. And open your eyes. Michelle is controlling, unforgiving, and unrelenting, and just plain hateful. IS there no room for forgiving misactions in the beginning. You'd be surprised at how far a little forgiveness will go!

Sad

It seems like the mother is really trying to turn the situation around.  She is so much more at ease and understands her role in this.  It seems like the couple just wants to hold on to their anger at all cost.  These things take time to resolve, but they are unyielding. They are so self rightous and don't seem to take any responsibility for their role.  I mean really... flowers??? You can't even accept the gesture of the flowers because you are blinded by your own hateful attitude.

Bride needs to grow up

If this bride, Michelle doesn't stop being so petty, then I can guarantee that their marriage will be over in 5 years. Michelle refuses to let go of the past and move forward. I think the mother in law showed great maturity and remorse. That Michelle continues to reject her efforts at reconciliation reflects Michelle's level of maturity. Get a life, Michelle, and as for Jay, the husband, get a pair of b***s! Grow up you two!

OMG

This is obviously a very insecure young lady (Shannon), who would be jealous of her mother-in-law's relationship with her only son. As a mother of 3, 2 of them boys, no one would ever come between me and my kids!!!!! Our hearts are enormous and always have room for more.... she could be another friend, then mother, to Shannon.

Way to wreck a family, Shannon! Maybe you should take steps as Jane did, to better yourself....

Quote From: cgrapes

The "happy" couple speak as if there is one person instead of two.  Rarely did I hear the groom or the bride say, "I .......... ."  They both refer to themselves as "WE."  I wanted to hear each of them own and embrace their individual responsibility.  The girl I find rude, crude and socially unacceptable.  The Mom seems to be improving.

 

 

Agreed -- and that fake overly-earnest look on Michele's face is just too much to stomache.

 

I understand that Michele will never own up to her part in this - and her mom backs her up as she probably always has -- but Jay's disconnect from his own part in this is just unbelievable -- he owes his entire family better than this.

 

Of course one day when all he has is Michele in his life as she moved to alienate him from everyone who she doesn't want in their lives he may wake up - but it may be too late.

By the way, what is up with Jay and what he does for a living??? Why can't he show his face on TV???
He can't show his face because he's probably ashamed of his wife.
