(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.

11/27 Banned from the Wedding, Part 2

Quote From: mac2372

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT EVERYONE FEELS SORRY FOR THE MOTHER IN LAW. SHE IS NO ANGEL. I MYSELF AM A DAUGHTER IN LAW TO A WOMAN WHO PRETTY MUCH IGNORES MY EXISTANCE. SHE PLAYS FAVORITES WITH HER OTHER DAUGHTER IN LAW---OVER THAT OF HER OWN DAUGHTER. SHE PLAYS FAVORITES WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN. OFTEN TIMES PEOPLE POINT FINGERS AND MAKE ASSUMPTIONS THAT IT IS THE BRIDES JOB TO MAKE NICE WITH THE MOTHER OF THE GROOM........HOWEVER, IT WOULD SEEM THAT IT IS JUST AS MUCH THE MOTHERS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE NICE WITH THE BRIDE. AS FOR THE SON. MAYBE HE SEES THE PICTURE FOR WHAT IT IS. MAYBE HE IS SIDING WITH HIS BRIDE TO BE BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW HIS MOTHER IS AND BEHAVED IN THE PAST. AS FOR MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF WE SPEND VERY LITTLE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY. USUALLY DURING THE HOLIDAYS ONLY. THEN FOR AS SHORT A TIME AS WE MUST. WE BOTH GET LITTLE ENJOYMENT OUT OF IT. THERES ALOT OF COMPETITION BETWEEN THE OTHER DAUGHTER IN LAW AND MY HUSBANDS SISTER. SO TAKE A LOOK AT THE MOTHER OF THE GROOM AND CUT SOME SLACK TO THE YOUNG BRIDE.

Hey, I'm a daughter in law too, however, I feel extremely sorry for the mother in law. This daughter in law is hell on wheels, and her son is a triffling, wimp.  He seems to go along with everything his wife does and blames his mother for all the trouble.  What kind of man is going to let his fiance cuss his mother out, call her names and post garbage about her on a website? I mean, get real.  He should be ashamed to come on national television and actually admit that he lets his wife do this to his mother.

I have two brothers, and it would be a cold day in hell before they would let their fiance cuss out our mother and disrespect her.

Give me a break

That audience must have been filled with mother-in-laws from hell.  When they groaned when her son said as long as she doesn't continue to act badly, he would like to have a relationship with her, that spoke volumes.  I don't buy that the MIL has changed.  She realizes she looked bad on national TV and wants to look better.  I have a MIL from hell and I'm with the son and DIL on this one.  You can't expect them to continue to put up with her bad behavior.  She won't even acknowledge her bad behavior!  I say write her off!

HEY MICHELLE

I do hope you read all the emails and see that you are hurting YOURSELF and YOUR BELOVED.

I don't care for my mother in law, but SHE or MY husb. will NEVER know that.

She GAVE my husb life, for that ALONE, I owe her.

I wish you luck, but you need to stop and ask yourself how would you feel IF YOUR HUSB> HATED YOUR MOTHER!

Inlaws

I believe that Jane will have to  move on with her life without her son.  Michelle will never allow HER husband to have a relationship with his mother.  The only way a relationship will happen is if/(when) Jay

realizes he has got an immature and selfish wife and opts for a divorce.  Personally, I think they deserve one another. After seeing how they( Michelle and Jay) deal with life situations, I pray they don't have children.  One of the many traits needed to be a parent  is flexibility.........Michelle is too self centered and inflexible.  I can't even imagine this couple in  a divorce situation with children being involved.

Unbelievable!!!!!!

I can not believe the way Michelle behaved on the show.  Dr. Phil you should have really let her have it.  The son is even worse because he is so whipped, he won't even defend the woman who gave birth to him and raised him.  I have 3 sons and I don't think I could have personally resisted getting up and smacking Michelle across the face in anger for her even not allowing me to see my son get married.  But I would say to Janice, don't worry dear, you WILL see him get married, but next time it will be to someone respectable and descent.  You know this guy can't possibly stay married to her for too long.  If Janice brought him up the right way, he will come to his senses and realize what a manipulating little bitch he is married to.  As for her mother, I would be ashamed of my daughter for harboring such hatred.  Here, Janice is swallowing her pride and apologizing and Michelle is just sitting there with that smerk on her face.  Her Barbie doll look won't last forever, so she needs to get a personality.  Personally, I think she is just loving being in control of a man, who basically is acting like a child.  I hide my face to if I were him.......I am so sorry for his mother.  her son needs to grow up and stop taking her for granted.  I wouldn't treat my enemies like he is treating his mother.  Keep that blurr on his face, maybe next time he should wear a bag.....

Grow Up and SHUT UP!!

Michelle speaks for both with "we" alot, if her hubby had a set he would get a grip on that post haste....in the words of the good doctor..with a little local humor injected..."if they'll do it with you they'll do it too you", it may have been intended different but it fits just the same.  Jay, you are less than a man if you let your "wife" speak for you and come between you and the woman who gave you life. You need to be prepared to be treated the same way if, heaven forbid, you two actually have children. The world is round for a reason and the "goes around, comes around.....kharma?" and all that come to mind. Michelle appears to be in control and described perfectly by the term "childish brat", which is actually an understatement.

You should all be ashamed.

Disappointed with this show

Dr. Phil didn't work his magic on this show in part one or part two.  Why does Jane have to be the only one doing work here?  I feel like because Jane is the loudest she got all the blame.  I don't even know what she did to make them want to disassociate with her in the first place.  Good grief, when did the name calling begin?  Why?  Was it because Jane was trying to impart her wisdom to them and the new bride didn't want her input so she cut her out?  That's what it sounds like.  Boundaries usually get drawn over time when a couple starts out there was no reason to be so drastic.  This whole family, the girl, and her mother as well as Jay and some of Jane's family are a bunch of over reactors.  Although, I do agree with Jane's family.  I'd be reactive too if someone was keeping me from the son I raised.  How would that bride's mom like it if the shoe was on the other foot.  I bet she'd be promoting forgiveness then instead of saying "it looks like manipulation to me". 

 

I am sorry but it would be very hard for anyone to have the amount of self-control that even Jane has shown in this situation.  I too would have probably blown my top.

 

Jay is not going to be happy with this woman.  It is too bad he can't see that now like so many can see.  If she truly loved Jay she wouldn't do this to him and put a rift in the family. 

 

I really loved it when Jay said they could start with "one phone call a month".  That was a priceless little gem and a jagged little pill for Jane I am sure.  She showed great restraint just after that comment.  I hope that Jane sees how slow this process is going to be given what her own son says to her.  I hope Jane will get the counseling she needs to get through this disappointment with her son, the rejection she is getting from him and the coldness from his wife who is blocking their relationship like a NFC linebacker.  It is really sad.  I hope Jane finds joy in other areas of her life because as long as this little number is part of the family she is going to suck the joy out of it.  Trust me, we had our own version of this drama and we weren't going to go to the wedding either, but I think our bride wanted the gifts too badly.

 

I think the main person with a problem  here is Jay.  He married a person of poor character who seeks to hurt those who she disagrees with.  A mature person can disagree without having to hurt others and can still maintain contact with them.  Clearly, this girl has not grown up.  My God, did I hear she has a child already on the first show.  That just proves you don't have to have any qualifications to be a parent.  Apparently, Jay has very low standards for a wife too.

 

It's very sad.  I was very sad after the first show because it was a reminder of how the problems with my brother started.  My brother made a lot of wrong choices that all started with the woman he married.

oh come on!

Quote From: pattyanng73

Comeon, this kewpie doll bride is a B!!! she will make sure her hubby has no relationship withhis mother. Look, she already got his best man away from him, surely she will work til the groom has noone but her. She is jealous, manipulative, possesive.and the groom? spineless wimp. he is so under this little goldilocks thumb Im surprised he is able to sit on stage without her propping him up. she certainly pulls his strings. Mom should walk away. thisbride B will rule forever. she will always pick a fight and when they have kids, look out!!
That mom is wrong and she has been acting like the B!!  She wouldn't acknowledge things she said on the last show.  I wish Dr. Phil would have played the tape of her saying those things she now denies.  She is a liar and thinks that her son owes her respect just because she gave birth and raised him.  He is her son yes but that doesn't give her a free ticket to act any way that she wants to and say and do anything she wants to.  Respect is EARNED not given!  In my opinion, that woman hasn't earned his son's respect or her DIL's respect!

that  daughter in law needs to grow  up. that son of hers should be ashamed of himself.  this mother was good enough  for him until  he met this girl.   what a shame. sorry to say but this girl appears to be a very shelfish  and  very controlling .  this  son better realize his mother isn't going to be alive forever.     just hope things do work out for everyone. life is to short to be carrying on like this
