Dr. Phil

Misbehaving Moms?

Leah says her mother, Dora, may appear to be sweet, but she’s actually a narcissist, hypochondriac, drama queen and a liar. She says Dora is always claiming to be sick — including lying about having cancer — to elicit sympathy from others, and she's tired of the chaos it creates. Dora denies Leah’s accusations and says she has medical records to prove her illnesses are real. She says her daughter has rejected her and refuses to let her see her grandchildren — and the depression she feels as a result makes her ailments worse. Is Dora embellishing her illnesses? And, can Dr. Phil and Troy Dunn, star of The Locator, help this mother and daughter find a common ground to rebuild their relationship? Then, Carrie says her 61-year-old mother, Paula, has been meeting strangers online and having sex with them. She says she's embarrassed and disgusted, but also worried for Paula's safety. Paula says she's not doing anything wrong — but is her behavior cause for concern? Dr. Phil weighs in.
