(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.

They ALL need to grow up...

Ok, I never write to message boards about these things, but wow, this is just sad.....

 

The MIL is certainly in the wrong and needs to learn from her mistakes, but her son and DIL need to grow up, also.  I cannot believe that any man would ALLOW his wife to treat his mother the way his wife has....he seems to have absolutely no backbone about any of this.   He needs to realize that if she treats his mother this way, she's probably not going to treat him any better when the going gets rough for them.... she is rude, disrespectful and the very fact that she can say that she HATES her husband's wife....this is, after all, the woman who raised him and made him the man that he is.

 

I would certainly hope that before they have kids, that they can work out these issues....these just seem like some very unhealthy relationships and goodness knows, children aren't going to make any of these issues any easier.  And, how sad for the kids if they don't work all this out and they end up living with this much anger and also not having any type of relationship with their paternal grandmother.

 

At some point, the son is going to realize how much his mother means to him and how much he needs her in his life...Life is too short to be this angry with the people you're supposed to love.

Time to move on!

I'm so thankful my son is not married to this "Nellie Olson" wanna be(spitting image!). This poor mother probably will never have a chance of being part of this couples family...the couple will just not give her an inch of forgiveness. As for her son, SHAME ON YOU!

I CANNOT believe a grown woman acts this dramatic!!

Oh my goodness!!  This "bride" acts more immature than the middle school children I teach!  I have had so much drama from adults in the past, that I can see drama in a person a MILE AWAY!!  Jay has NO backbone!  He allows his wife to DICTATE What he says/does in regards to his mother!  Did she NOT hear Dr. Phil say that her husband draws his love for her and his mother from TWO DIFFERENT banks!!  MY GOD!!  This woman is not able to even attempt to change her attitude!  So many times thrughout the show, Michelle was seen giving "evil looks" to Jane! 

Now, I MUST Say here...my mother, herself, needs to cut the apron strings.  She has acted much the same as Jane...but I also have to realize that my mother has a protective streak in her, which is only natural!  It's called maternal!!  And I DOUBT we know the Whole story!  Do we really know how much Jane has had to help her son?!  Jay needs to grow up, take responsibility for himself...Michelle needs to GROW UP and be the adult she is in body....and Jane needs to continue her work!  The ONLY person I can see who has done ANYTHING toward improving this relationship is Jane!  Jay and Michelle could not answer when asked what each has done for this relationship since the last show.  The only thing they could each do is to continue to point fingers!  JAY!  Grow up and be a MAN!  It is wonderful that the married couple sees themselves as a "we".....however, Michelle cannot let go of the past and cannot let go of the past.  Dr. Phil continued to tell Michelle she needs grace, but truly....I dont think Michelle knows what GRACE is!! 

 

I really hope that Jay and Michelle get to read these comments and open their eyes!  Jay could lose his mother....a fact that I have come close to realizing with my own parents, in MY OWN Battle to get them to cut their apron strings!   Wake Up!!!!

Oh, boy....

Can anyone say Nellie Olsen from Little House on the Prarie?  Michelle looks like and acts like a spoiled rotten Nellie Olsen.  I'm not saying that her mother-in-law is not at fault for anything, but this girl is going to be difficult to deal with.  I hope that their marraige lasts because I have a feeling that Michelle will turn on her husband with claws out if it doesn't.  I really feel for the mother-in-law in this case.  She has a long road ahead of her.

11/27 Banned from the Wedding, Part 2

I will stick with my last impression of this now married couple. I still believe it is the snotty little bride who is jealous. The son is doomed because he is a spineless wimp. Lets all hope that there are no children born before the little bride divorces him.

 

Mom may have her problems, but this son and his bride are totally outrageous and ridiculous. God help this union, they are going to need prayer.

WHAT!!???

Are you kidding me?  Michelle is a spoiled brat and her mother is an enabler.

 

As the mother of 4 sons, I feel very sorry for Jane.  I would suggest that Jane steps away fromt eh situation.  Find something that you love.  Travel, paint, write a book.  In a few years, when your sons marriage to Ms. Crankypants goes puff, your son will come running home to you.

 

Jay needs to grow a brain.

It amazes me that anyone can feel sorry for the mother in law in this story.  It is clear to see that she like many other mothers cannot come to terms with the fact her son is now a man and she is not the main woman in his life.  Having experienced this first hand I feel bad for the new wife because it will not get better.  I went through this for yrs until my husband and his mother had a falling out and didnt speak for several yrs.  She then decided to spite my husband and try and cut him off from his father who she divorced 30 yrs prior.  People do not change,  and you cannot make anyone like someone or get along.  If this woman cannot treat her son and his wife with respect they should cut her off and go on with their lives.  Life is too short to have to deal with drama and stupid nasty people.  The mother in law in this story needs to cut the cord and get a life.

Typical Witch

This show mad me so aggravated .. Michelle is so controlling and Jealous of Jane she couldn't stand when someone gave Jane a complement she would have to throw a negative comment into it .. I think she wants her husband all to herself. My mother in law and me have had many disagreement... But thats my husbands mother. I would ever try and keep them apart. Blood is thicker than water.

 

Plus the son needs to stop letting his new little wife control his feelings .. Michelle seems like the kind to feed him with whatever she can to turn him from his mother so theres no telling what she has filled him with.

 

I hope it works out for Jane I felt so bad for her . Michelle needs to brush her on insecurities under the tug and stop all the non sense!!!!

Seriously??

All I have to say is...they better not get divorced, cause she's showing you who she is when she gets mad. That girl has no problem with taking things out on people and blowing them up!!

And please, for the love of all that's good...don't have kids!!

Could you imagine the custody battle??? The women's just in it for herself...

That guy is love struck, reality will kick in someday!!
