Dr. Phil: From Mansion to Motel: A Family's Struggle. "Welcome to my hotel room." In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Phil meets a married couple whose life has taken a dramatic turn from living in a mansion to struggling in a motel. 

Unemployment and lack of motivation have driven a wedge between them. "How much money did you make yesterday?" Dr. Phil asks. "Nothing," comes the stark reply, a pattern that repeats day after day.

Faced with financial ruin and rising tensions, the husband admits, "I can't go take some of these menial jobs because my pride just won't let me." Meanwhile, his wife reaches her breaking point: "She's not just barking; she is about to bite." To her, his excuses are "about smoke and mirrors."

Dr. Phil delivers a harsh reality check: "Your job is to do what you can to contribute to this family." Can Dr. Phil motivate this couple to overcome their pride and find a way out of their dire situation? Tune in to see if they can rebuild their lives and save their marriage.
