(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.

Wife is childish

I can't believe this 20 something year old girl doesn't have better home training. You can ignore people and let things go.

The son was raised by a single mother all his life...and he shows No gratitude by allowing his wife/ girlfriend or anyone else to disrespect his flesh and blood. He will soon find out when his wife's anger turns towards him, that this young girl has no idea of what it means to be an adult.

I may not agree with everything my family does.. but I will not allow anyone to disrespect them verbally.. god forbid that there is a mental illness that affects someones actions

Where is this girl's FATHER? I'm sure he's too ashamed or beat down by wife and daughter to show his face.

After hearing Shannon (wife's mother), I can see that mother and daughter are overly dramatic. And it appears that the wife wants someone to kiss her butt.

I truly believe that the son is ashamed to have his face on tv. If everyone in the family can be on tv, he can too. I don't think he has a job that with such high security to hide behind a mask.

The bottom line is.. There's a divorce waiting to happen! And the son won't know where to turn except back to his family that he has disrespected soo much.

That's my thoughts

It's not forgive and forget..

Quote From: bathmichalor

I have a hard time understanding why the young couple can not just forgive and forget. There are a lot more serious wrongs going on in the world than silly personality problems. I feel that everyone should try seeing things from the others perspective. Especially the daughter-in-law. She should think about her own children growing up and isolating her from their lives because they perceive her behavior to be unwanted or unsatisfactory. Instead of concentrating on what has been done, let the past alone and start the book fresh with all new paper.

I have a very strong minded mother that thinks since I am her child she tells me how to be when to call, how long she can scream at me, and basically how to live my life. It is no fun being her daughter it is fun for her if I don't have an opinion and just goes along with what she wants. I cannot do that and want to be around that I did that for 25 years of my life.

When I say something she retreats and we start over and it becomes a yelling and a screaming match then I have to go. Hopefully with therapy they will be able to but the relationship in balance since he has been her everything. I am sure he is glad to get away from the constant focus his mother has had in his life. I hope his mother is able to meet someone nice or take up a new hobby.

She needs to step back and gradually form a new relationship. I think she is just use to having 24/7 access and now they want to be basically by themselves. I guess get the feeling he does not want a very close relationship with his Mom and that will be hard for her to take. There seems to be deeper issues with Mother and Son

Disgusting Little Brat

I am increasingly disgusted by the words and actions of "Goldilocks." The audacity and gall this woman has to blatantly disrespect her mother-in-law is appalling and mortifying. Her mother clearly did not raise her correctly, and she found the perfect man - one to sit back and let this all happen without a murmur. I find it increasingly hard to believe this man would sit back without an utterance while this broad verbally attacks his own mother! She and her mother should be ashamed of the childish and nasty behavior that has been displayed to millions not once but twice on Dr. Phil's show. I am not saying the mother-in-law is without flaw, but she has more ground to hold. She is being attacked by both children, in addition to defending herself, pride, and dignity. I feel sorry for her but really pity the unborn children if they so choose to raise any child in that unstable mess of a home.

11/27 Banned from the Wedding, Part 2

I don't think it will matter what the mother does - for the daughter in law it is all about control. So even if they did reconcile, the DIL would find ways to make the mother-in-law miserable.

Can you imagine buying Christmas presents for the DIL's children? They'd have to be pre-approved before delivery, and then she'd probably find fault with them. No one is ever going to be good enough for that one!

amen!

Quote From: zwillie

I think that the mom is just trying to have a relationship with her son. Son's wife seems to be the total problem. She is snotty and apparently jealous of the relationship that the mom wants to have with her son. Wife needs to grow up. She will one day regret trying to destroy a mother son relationship. Blood is thicker than water and son will one day wake up and realize what has happened. Have respect for your mother, she will always be there for you.

wholeheartedly agree!!!!!!

daughter in law blues

Quote From: sparlow

I feel it's time for the bride to grow up and consider her husband's feelings. She will eventually regret the way she is treating his mother and not allowing her to have a relationship with them. The mother is just as wrong at what she has been doing and it's time she cut the apron strings and allow her son to live his own life. If both the bride and the mother would do these things they could have a wonderful relationship of enjoying each other. I dread to think of what it will be like if and when children are brought into this union.

THESE FOLKS NEED TO MOVE PAST WHO SAID WHAT...COME ON NOW...ANGER IS SUCH A WASTED EMOTION....AND WHAT IF SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENED TO ONE OF THEM THEY WOULD FEEL AWFUL...

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR THIS KIND OF PETTY STUFF...I HOPE THEY CAN GET PAST THE JUNK AND LEARN TO FORGIVE AND MOVE FORWARD AND STOP FINGERPOINTING AND NAME CALLING.....

Are you kidding me?

The mother has nothing to apologize for. Michelle is a little brat in a big girls body. I can never imagine anyone treating their own mother like Jay is treating his mother. Michelle is trying to control her new husband to the point that he would disrespect her on national television. Obviously the family supports the mother and knows the rest of the story. I have had members of my own family that let females put a ridge between people who have always gotten along before they have come into the picture. It always comes back around to them for thinking that the person cannot have a relationship with anyone than themselves. It is actually a sign of insecurity on Michelles' part. Even the rolling of the eyes shows her attitude. How would Michelle feel if she had a son one day that treated her like she has treated her mother in law? She does not want to work this out. She does not want to share her new husband with anyone. It's not up to the mother to make all the concessions. At least the counciling seems to have the mother learn how to handle the situation. But what Michelle does not understand is that she will NEVER take away the love a son has for his mother. Maybe when she grows up and matures that will come for her sake.

That woman took away one of a mothers most memorable moments, the day her child says "I do", shame on Jay, he will never be able to give that back to his Mom, hope it doesn't happen to him, but I agree... what goes around comes around!
