(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.

Ridiculous!

I cannot believe that these people are acting the way they are!  I dont believe that there are any victims in this case but I do wonder what Michelle would say if her new husband wanted her to stay away from her mother!!  Her husband needs to grow a backbone and say "that is my mother and I will see her but you don't have to!"  She did give him life, without her Michelle wouldn't have him!!!  Michelle is jealous of the relationship between the two of them.  She doesnt have to understand the relationship but needs to accept it!!  He is a big baby obviously! No woman is worth losing your mother over!!

Why????

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!!!

So sad

Jane should now walk away. Dil is never going to let her have a relationship with her son.

My heart felt such pain, physical pain. That poor lady . Did you not hear how the audience felt. Jay is deserving for all he gets from now on. I am a mil and I answer when they call, we are here if they need us for whatever  and they keep in touch as do our Grandchildren . At age 7, and 5 they call us and we talk to the other 2, love our Grandchildren to distraction. We are appreciated for the love we give and given respect.

Jane was hurt originally and has lashed out but hurt causes you to do silly things, There is NO forgiveness in mrs perky dil.  If she treated me like that ...my son would no longer have a Mother. I would disown him.

He is not thinking with his brain at the present. Her Mother had to agree , think what her life would be like if she crossed that daughter !!!!!!!!!!

11/27/07 Mother-in-law banned part 2

Weddings are about Love and Honor.  Honor is not about being right but doing right.  If a person loves their husand it seems to me that they would honor their husband.  Honoring your husband is not about putting their mother down to lift yourself up. Honor is about doing your part no matter what their mother is doing in a place of love and confidence.

 

Honor is about rising above the circumstance and situation and having character.  I saw no honor in either of Jay or Michelle. How can wedding vows be keep with no honor?

The DIL in this show is psychotic.  The real issue is the son.  Shame on him.  If he was really a "grownup" he would not feel threatened by his mother's overbearing love.  He would gently handle her reluctance to let go, as he knows he is in charge.  He seems not to understand that in treating his mother so shabbily his wife is disrepecting him too.  If any of my  4 sons allowed  and participated in this behavior they would not have to worry about seeing me.   I would want to be blameless in the inevitable destruction of their union.

 

This show has confirmed my observation that this generation of brides have made a decision to best the prospective MILs.  Each of my sons' girlfriends felt a need to replace me in my sons lives.  I have never had a confrontation with any of them, but they feel a need to best me.  They seemed not to notice that my goal was for them to marry.  I am a practicing Christian, and know that it is God's plan that they leave & cleave.  

 

My MIL made it clear that I was not her choice for her son, and disrespected me on many occasions.  There was nothing she did that caused me to  return that disrespect as I loved my husband too much.  Rather than rejecting her advice, I sought it.  She finally realized that I was in fact good for her son, and we became closer.

Childish

The bride is to blame she is so childish and I lbelieve she is blocking the relationship between her husband and his mother and that is wrong and that is the bottom line.  The Bride is at fault and her attitude is so nasty and she the one who needs counseling.

Mean Bride

I know the mother in law on this show is no angel, I agree she oversstepped some boundaries. Michelle on the other hand, with her sour look the entire show, needs to get off her high horse. I see that marriage ending in divorce because of her need to be right all the time. The MIL was correct, once things are settled with her who will Michelle move on to...her husband. Nothing seems to satisfy her. She needs to control th4e situation and I truly believe she is pushing her husband to dismiss his mother. I would love to see a follow up in about a year to see if this marriage is still intact.

Shame on Jay!!!!!

My DH and I have watched both shows. We cannot believe the level of immaturity shown on the parts of Jay and Michelle.  DH and I have been married for 13 years (together 15) and we have blended families.  I cannot believe that Jay would let ANY woman talk to or about his mother like that.  Jane brought him into this world.  There is a level of respect Michelle should show towards Jane REGARDLESS of how she feels.  As a mother of 3 sons, I cringe to think of the day when one of my sons "chooses" a mate.  I know when I was dating my future spouse, I made it my MISSION to get to know and get along  with his mother and also his father (and still do).  Now, have they said or done things over the years that I don't necessarily agree with?  Sure, but fundamentally I know they are good and decent people.  How else would they have been able to raise such a fine human being for a son, husband, and father?  Jane must have done something right!!!!  If my DH let me treat his mother in such disrespectful way before we were married, I would have run the other way.  IMO that shows Jay has weak character in dealing with this situation.   If my assumptions are correct, it appears from the video Michelle has a child?  A son?  If so, Michelle could very easily be sitting where Jane is in the future.  It seems that Michelle is giving ultimatums and any DECENT woman would not put that upon her husband.  And lastly, you NEVER EVER use future/existing children as pawns in any drama.  That is despicable.

Disappointed with Dr. Phil

I love the Dr. Phil show.  I try to catch it every day.  I have been entranced with yesterday's and today's show.  I thought for sure that Dr. Phil would come down harder on Jane's son.  He seems to let his young "Cockey" bride dictate his life.  How could anyone let someone treat their own mother the way he sits back and lets her be treated.  Then he says "we" all the time as if he doesn't have a mind of his own.  I would like to see what happens to this marriage in a year . . . if, in  fact,he does have a backbone.  (Jay being only 22 . . I can promise that he has a lot of growing up to do. Michelle also seems like a braty high school "plastics" kid.)

 

We can argue and say things about our parents or kids . . . . but let someone else mistreat them and we'd be all over that person. 

 

I feel sad for Jane.  Yes, she's made serious mistakes . . .  but her heart has been broken by the way her son and his girl friend have treated her. 

 

I feel very sorry for Michelle.  The older I get the more the statement "You'll live to regret it", is so true.  I do abelieve this will come back and bite her.  I also think if Jay has a heart at all . . . he's going to be very sorry that he let Michelle convince him to do this to his mother.


I hope Jay can grow up and step in and keep his wife from hurting his mom and ruining the relationship for all of them.  I really think Dr. Phil should have come down much harder on him.  I don't think he got it al all.
