Wednesday: Suburban Dramas

Brett and Mandy are engaged to be married and have three young daughters. Mandy says from the outside, they appear to have it all together, but the reality is far different. Brett says he’s addicted to sex, online pornography and talking dirty to other women. Mandy says she knows that her fiancé has been physical with two other women during their relationship, and she’s caught him multiple times communicating with women online or through texting, but does she know all of Brett’s secrets? Brett claims he’s never had a sexual relationship with anyone since being with Mandy, but she’s not buying it. Will Brett take a polygraph test to prove he’s not lying? If he fails, will this be the final straw for Mandy?

Thursday: “Me, Me, Me”: Selfish People

Tiffany and Mindy describe their mother, Phyllis, as “the most selfish person on the face of the earth.” They say their entire childhood was affected by her self-absorbed behavior, ultimately fracturing their relationship.

Dr. Phil examines a few of the incidents her daughters report as manipulative and self-centered. Will Phyllis own up to her parenting mistakes and apologize? And, Chanell says her friend, Shauna, suffers from “Pretty Girl Selfish Syndrome” and needs an intervention.
