(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.

RESPECT!

Hello Dr Phil,

This girl her son married is a witch! She has no respect for elders. That is so sad! Her son is no better!

He has no respect for his mother! That is not going to change. That mother needs to walk away from her son. Let him live his life. I bet that girl is a spoiled brat!

I do believe what goes around, comes around. Her son and his new wife, there time will come. His mom just needs to be patient and it will happen!

A mother truly knows who will make there children happy. The mother has raised them, they know them oh so well. But, will your childred listen to you? Absolutely not! If you tell your children no, they will do it for spite! This is life! That is why god gave us freedom of choice.  It seems like this mother has nother else in her life. That is the hardest thing in life to do, have children, and let them go. But that is how life works.

Sometimes you dont have a choice. But, if you learn from it , you are doing good! NOBODY IS PERFECT.

The hardest thing in like is COMMUNICATION. Even at work and at home.

Time will heal everything. That mom needs to stay away from her son for awhile, and see if he comes around.

Patty G.

Disappointed & Outraged!

I cannot believe that most of the blame was put on the mother/mother-in-law. I am a mother and a daughter-in-law and I can;t believe that Dr. Phil did not say let sleepy dogs lay and move on to the future. How come they kept on rehashing the past. The daughter-in-law was and is horrible. Why wasn''t the son accountable for his part of not working on his relationship with his mother? Why did he allow the wife to treat his mom so badly regardless of what the mother-in-law said or did? Let the mother-in-law look bad, do not contribute to the problem then blame everything on the mother-in -law. Dr. Phil needed to put them all in therapy, obvisously there is more to it than a wedding? I did not agree with the way Dr. Phil handle it and how the son continues to see his wife has the good and right person. I believe the son should have been the hero and help prevent the problem from continiuing.

I agree

Quote From: rae1955

I can't imagine marrying a man I felt so little respect for that I was at ease pulling rank, insulting and being generally abusive to any members of his family - much less his Mother! Real  love can not exist without respect. Michelle should walk away from this union. When she finds someone that she truly loves she will be willing to welcome his family into her home - if not her heart.

my mother told me once that how a man treats his mom is how well he will treat you and man who does not respect his mom probably does not respect woman and if he can be so cold and heartless to his mom the same could happen to the wife. Dr Phil said what goes around come around which is true I feel sorry for the couple though they do not know what love is.

06/24 Banned from the Wedding, Part 2

Quote From: moonbeam2005

That son of hers is no better than his brat of a wife. they deserve each other.  The only thing i have to say is when the husband wakes up and smells the coffee he is gonna be one sorry little boy. I hope he can see what he married before there is children involved. Because a thing like her when she cannot get her way every time will be moving on to  the next victim.  I think it is called a black widow! But she will still be right....
I agree with you!!!!

Quote From: ramair

It's Jane who sees Michelle, and if it weren't her, it would be any other woman Jay wanted to marry, as a competitor for his affection. Time to cut the apron strings, Jane.
I know a girl who is a lot like Michelle... my mother said she was trying to talk my oldest son into dating her.  I told her to stop, this girl is manilipuative.  It isn't because I wouldn't want to cut the apron strings, it is because I know in the end she will be horrible and end up with my son hurt.  She looks so sweet and innocent until you get to know her.  Michelle is so much like this girl with the looks, the excuses, the controlling attitude, I know right where Jane is coming from.  Only difference is I wouldn't put my son in the position that I would be cut out of his life since I believe that some kids have to learn the hard way.  Jane is needing to step back (which she is doing) and be available with the cards fall and her son needs a shoulder and some support.  She needs to give him this without saying "I told you so".

ABSURD!!!

I have a mother-in-law who's extremely protective of her sons (they're all grown men but she feels they need protection) and who's bossy to the point assuming she's simply crazy. BUT NEVER will I engage in the exchange of insults that these two have. It's absurd that the son is so whipped that he doesn't have the decency of defending his mother, and that he allows his wife or future wife to treat his mom like that.
It's absurd that the daughter-in-law has this lack of tact towards his family and it is intersting to see what becomes of this union with such a woman. It seems that all this couple wants is a mother-in-law kissing butts and refraining from her position as a mom who raised this man you seem so much in love.
The mother-in-law is not a saint, but the daughter in law is a troublemaker who's trying to dispute some sort of power over the poor, choiceless, weak husband.

Today's show June 24- Part 2

I watched both shows- Part 1 & 2. This bride (or now , wife) appears to be a spoiled brat. The son doesn't appear to be much of a man, if he was- surely he could have settled this long ago. And no matter what - his mother is his mother. All three seem to be at fault. It's obvious that the bride is very controlling, immature and has a lot to learn. She may never have any regrets coming between this mother-son relationship, but he certainly will. And as for the bride's mother, she isn't a very positive influence- it was easy to see through her just as it was her daughter. But as Dr. Phil said today "what goes around comes around." This son and daughter-in-law should be ashamed of themselves. The groom is thinking with something else, not his brain! There is no love like a Mother's love and someday he'll regret allowing this to come between him and his Mother.

A Disgrace for a Son

I have been so frustrated watching both of these shows.  Michelle is an incredibly rude, disrespectful and mean individual.  I don't understand how her mother can condone her behavior.  Obviously, she never taught Michelle about respect.  I would be ashamed if one of my three daughters behaved in her fashion.  I have always believed that a husband will treat his wife the way he treats his mother.  I hope this rings true for Michelle.  She deserves it.

I am disappointed that Dr. Phil didn't address the disrespect factor more.  I can't imagine he would stand by and allow Robin speak of and to his mother, the woman who gave him life, the way that Michelle spoke to her mother-in-law. 

I personally have no compassion for the 'newlyweds.'  I hope they live to regret their actions.  jlandis

"NELLY"

 

  FROM THE MOMENT THAT I STARTED LOOKING AT THIS EPISODE>>>>>JUST WHAT IS WAS. IF ANYONE ALLOWS A PERSON TO COME BETWEEN THE RELATIONSHIP OF YOU AND YOUR MOTHER IT SHOUD BE THAT PERSON THEMSELF AND (NOT) THE OTHER HALF THAT THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH. I THINK BACK TO THE >>LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE<<<THE SPOIL BRAT ( NELLY) !!!!THAT EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS CAPABLE OF, AS WELL AS HER MOTHER WHOM ALLOWED HER TO DO WHATEVER SHE WANTED!!! I AM JUST UPSET THAT HE STATED THAT DUE TO HIS LINE OF JOB DUTY HE COULDN'T SHOW HIS FACE BUT, HE COULD COME UNTO NATIONAL T.V. AND ALMOST DISOWN, DISRESPECT, NO EVEN SHOW A LITTLE OF LOVE AS SHE IS THE WOMAN THAT RAISED HIM. MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS HOW WAS MOM AND SON RELATIONSHIP BEFORE"NELLY" CAME INTO HIS LIFE!!!
