S18·E83 “My Partying Sister Needs a Motherhood Master Class – Now”

Nick claims his 41-year-old sister, Jennifer, is a bad parent who prioritizes partying over parenting her 13-year-old daughter. Nick says ever since Jennifer divorced her husband, Ben, her parenting skills have spiraled out of control, resulting in a long list of worrying behaviors from their daughter, including violence and self-harm. Julie, Ben’s girlfriend, claims his daughter would be much happier away from her mother and living with them. Jennifer says she is sick and tired of being made out to be a bad mom and claims Ben has no idea how hard she has it as a single mother. Jennifer says she’s through being ganged up on by Ben, his girlfriend, and her brother, and wants Dr. Phil’s help to prove she is not the problem here. Can Dr. Phil convince this divorced couple to co-parent in harmony? Tune in to find out!
