For nearly two years, Clint and Tracy say their home has been a battleground, living in constant fear of their 17-year-old daughter, Callie.

They claim she becomes physically aggressive whenever she doesn’t get her way, leaving them feeling helpless and afraid in their own home.

But Callie sees things differently—she insists her parents are overly controlling and that their strict rules are the real problem. Who is telling the truth, and can this family break the cycle of fear and conflict before it’s too late?

Dr. Phil steps in to uncover the root of their dysfunction and help them find a path forward. Can this family heal, or is their relationship beyond repair? Don’t miss this intense and emotional intervention.
