My Daughter and Son-in-Law Won’t Let Me See My Grandchildren Until I Get a Psych Eval

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

In this compelling episode, Dr. Phil delves into a heated family dispute between a controlling son-in-law and his neurotic mother-in-law.

 David, the son-in-law, demands submission from his mother-in-law when she is in his home, leading to intense friction. The situation escalates to the point where David and his wife decide to bar the mother-in-law from seeing her grandchildren, including the newest baby she has yet to meet.

The mother-in-law believes David is manipulating her daughter and is outraged by the restrictions placed on her access to the family. Dr. Phil steps in to assess the situation, addressing accusations of personality disorders and manipulation.

Can Dr. Phil help this family find common ground and restore peace, or are the differences too deep to reconcile?
