Dr. Phil
Adult Temper Tantrums
E195 Jun 3, 2013 60m TV-PG
Laurie and Patrick say their 25-year-old son, Stephen’s, rage is so out of control that they’re afraid he’ll kill them if something doesn’t change. They say Stephen, who is unemployed and lives with them rent-free, has destroyed their house, stolen from them and even threatened to shoot them in the head when they refused to give him gas money. Watch as Dr. Phil cameras visit the family’s home — and the cops show up! Stephen says he feels like he has no control over his actions once something sets him off. What’s at the root of his anger? And, is he ready to get help? Plus, how might Laurie and Patrick be contributing to his behavior? Then, Jessica says her fiancé, Justin, is a great guy when he’s sober but becomes violent and abusive when he drinks, and their relationship is on the brink of disaster. She says Justin, while under the influence, has spit on her, kicked her and even pushed her when she was three months pregnant.
