(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.

DIL and son don't want the mother in their life regardless....

I really think both the son and DIL do not want the MIL in their life regardless.  The DIL is constantly undermining anything other people say about the situation.  The son made is sound like a phone call once a month to his mother was the most he would do.  I think that is so very sad.  I am the mother of an only son who is still single.  It would break my heart if he acted like this young man, although I know in my heart he would never do it.  I will also make sure when he finds his future wife, to accept her and make all efforts for us all to get along, regardless of if we have our differences.  I think Dr. Phil really told them right when he said they needed to show more graciousness and empathy toward the MIL.  This young couple need to move on, and the young man especially should show more empathy and respect to his mother.  I feel for the MIL and hope in the end it all works out for them.

The bible speaks of a contentious woman

This is for you Jane,

 

 My heart goes out to you. I saw wrong that you have done, but the payment you have paid far exceeds the crime.  While I viewed the first part of this show, I said to myself, "Michelle is a classic example of a contentious woman."  I had just done a study in my bible about the contentious woman.  The show gave me a perfect example of what the blble was talking about.  

 

Proverbs 25:24

 24It is (A)better to live in a corner of the roof
         Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

Proverbs 21:19

    19(A)It is better to live in a desert land
         Than with a contentious and vexing woman.

 

Proverbs 27:15 

15A (Q)constant dripping on a day of steady rain
         And a contentious woman are alike;
      16He who would restrain her restrains the wind,
         And grasps oil with his right hand.

 

The best thing for you to do is to stay out of it and only talk to them when they talk to you.  Don't call, let them call.  Let them distroy they they THINK you are distroying.  IT WILL COME.  It won't be long until it is Michelle's way or the high way for Jay too..... just as she treats you.  She will continue to demand with nothing in return for him too.  He will try to make her happy or make her a better person, but will fail.(Proverbs 27:16)  The only hope for a contentious woman is God.

Are you kidding me???  My husband and I have been married 29 years.  We were 18 and 20 when we got married.  I have two daughters and if EITHER one acted like Michelle does I would put them in their place.  Michelle is one "immature" little girl.  She must not have had the proper upbringing because if she did, her mother would be the first to tell her to treat Jay's mother with respect.  And Jay, wow that's another show in itself.  He needs to go some "balls" and start acting like a man and not a little boy.  Jay will regret that he is letting Michelle "walk all over him".   What goes around, comes around

Sons and DIL

     I can't believe that a son could treat his mother that way!!!  I have three sons and thank God that they have spines!!  Please, she owes you, give me a break!!  Some Barbie is leading you by the .........   This guy really needs to grow up and respect his mother.  She does wear the pants in that union!  Maybe Mom's better off letting her have him!!

banned part 2

I watch Dr. Phil faithfully and have never had the desire to post a message on this board until today. I was tired of talkin to the tv so i wanted to post what i think about this situation. I think the son needs to grow a spine and stand up to his hateful wife. The fact is that his mother came first and the wife has no right to treat his mom in that way. Im sure that mom has made mistakes and said inappropriate things as well but Michelle is extremely rude and just downright hateful. She seems spoiled, has no respect for her husbands family and doesnt even seem to care. I hope she comes to regret that. One more thing, who lets ANYONE talk to or about their mother like that!? Its really unbelievable. In my opinion the son is completely under the spell and control of his spiteful wife. Its sad really, he needs to really rethink his position. This is his mother and he needs to do something about the whole situation. Ok now Im done venting. Thanks

Michelle and Jay need to grow up

I am in disbelief that these people would go on a show and act the way they have acted. To me, Michelle is an irritating, nasal sounding, little brat. I don't think she would be happy with any resolution.  I think Jay hides his face because he doesn't want people to see who this spineless person is. Shame on him for treating his Mother that way. I do agree with one thing Dr Phil said and that is "what goes around comes around". I've seen that happen. Life is too short for people to sit around and demand that other people acknowledge what they've done. That is not going to help the situation. If the MIL acknowledges everything will Michelle be happy then? I don't think so. I get the impression that she just likes to complain about everything. Jay is absolutely spineless..not much of a man at all.

when michelle dumps jay

he will get a taste of what his mother has been going through. He needs to stand up and broker some sort of a relationship with his mother. he's going to need her sooner or later.

I have had the same problem . This bride is just like my daughtr-in-law. To this day I have tried to lower my pride and it has not helped. Someone like her will never change. Now three grandchrilden later. My doughter-in-law has not changed.  I feel that the Mother should back away from them both until they grow-up.That s whatI have done, and I feel fine abou it. I have grown past all the hurt. And Now I am just fine

here,here, grow up brat

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.

After watching the ganging up on this poor woman I was so disgusted... This girl needs a good butt kicking. I cannot imagine how hurt Jane must have been over not being able to see her only child get married.  This girl is a spoiled brat and thinks she is in control.  Jay needs to grow a set... please what a whimp.  of course, Michelle has all the cards, mostly because he's still in lust.. when he wakes up and realizes what a spoiled brat he married and she dumps him  for somebody else because he might stand up to her, he will be asking Mom for advice.. Hopefully he doesn't reproduce with that little witch and the world is spared the little brats she might raise.  Her mother is just as bad. I would have told my daughter too bad you will show his mother respect and move on and the anger and hurt over the wedding will linger forever.  I could never forgive my son if this happened to me.  I am a mother in law also, but my son in law and I have a relationship that allows him to say Mom don't do that and I can say to him the same things.

Sorry Dr. Phil I think this could have been handled better.
