im sorry youre dealing with this but honestly, dr. phil is not a dr. he has no license to pratice psychiatry in any state in the u.s. or canada and has actually had his license revoked. and 30 mins to an hour on a tv show will not give you the answers you, or your mother, need. for problems like this there has to be long-term, ongoing therapy. and i hate to say it but dr. phil is just out for the publicity and the money.

i really hope something gets resolved because relationships shouldn't be like this but i implore you to look elsewhere. he is just giving you common sense, quick-fix answers that wear off in 2 weeks.
