Quote From: kim780the mother in law is very manipulative. She was caught in a lie by Dr Phil, she tried the sympathy card again with her comment she got drunk for the first time since her son was born ( so it was her son and his wife's fault),ect....
She knows what she did and she knows what she said.........."I do not recall" is a politician's way out of a comment they said that was wrong, innapproriate.... She remembers all of it but she can not say it because that would mean she was wrong and some of that sympathy ( and the people who skipped the wedding as a show of support for her) would be found out wasn't deserved. She is jealous of her new daughter in law and although I personally do not know what road or path I would have taken it is some times self preservation that out weighs obligtion to toxic family members. Michelle needs to put herself first against this toxic woman and personally for Michelle to say she is willing to even consider a second chance I think is commendable. For one of the happiest events of her life she had it over shadowed by a desperate, clingy, manipulative, bitter woman who did not feel she was the center of attention and it pissed her off. I do strongly warn Michelle though wait until you get pregnant ! HAHA that is where the real fun begins!! She has "rights" you know......................................be careful........................
And Dr Phil is right it is your husband's fight......................so he needs to put her in her place!
She will say everything to appear she has changed, I just did not see any sincerity I see a woman trying to get on the good side of the audience. I think Michelle is fearful she will get in good with them and get very close to cause trouble again. It is the husbands fight and he don't know how to do it in a why she can understand.
She needs to find a hot smoking guy of her own but her like is just so occupied with her son and his wife, have them chasing you finding out what is going on cause your life is so full and fun and rocking. Personally, if I were Michelle I would have postponed or moved on until he worked things out that is why they have premarital counseling you do marry the person's family and very rarely does it get better.
I agree with Michelle after someone who has behaved a certain way and has thought of her son as a possession I doubt it. Michelle should stay out of if so her husband can step up and resolve this. This seems to be an issue between them him wanting to be his own person and having his voice heard by her. It's not about Michelle it's about mother and son and his wife should be gracious but so should the mother since his wife is immature and not equipped to know how to deal with it.
It comes down to trust Mother thought Dr. Phil would get her the invite to her son's wedding or tell him to not get married. Jane has to let go and create a life for herself her son and his wife cannot be her life.
(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.
