  • October 14, 2016

In this emotional episode of the Dr. Phil Show, viewers are introduced to a woman who has chosen to leave her children and home to live with her homeless boyfriend in a tent. The woman's sister, who has been caring for the children in the mother's absence, is at a loss as to how to get her sister to see the harm she is causing to her family.

Dr. Phil sits down with the sister who abandoned her children and asks her to explain her actions. The woman claims that she is in love with her boyfriend and that she wants to be with him more than anything else in the world. She also reveals that she has struggled with drug addiction in the past, and that her boyfriend is helping her to stay clean and sober.

Dr. Phil listens intently to the woman's story, but is quick to point out that her behavior is causing harm to her children. He states that the children need their mother, and that they are being damaged by her absence. He also advises the woman to consider attending rehab to get help with her addiction.

The sister who has been caring for the family then speaks to Dr. Phil about her struggles with her sister's choices. She explains that the children are suffering from their mother's absence, and that she is doing everything she can to keep them safe and happy. She also reveals that she has been unable to track down the boyfriend, and that she is worried about the family's safety in the tent.

Dr. Phil then brings the two sisters together to discuss a plan for the future. He urges the mother to seek help for her addiction, and to consider moving into a safe and stable home with her family. He also encourages the sisters to work together to create a plan to raise the children in a safe and healthy environment.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Phil shows compassion and empathy towards the family, but is firm in his belief that the children need their mother and that her current living situation is not in their best interests. He provides the family with resources and guidance to help them move forward, and encourages them to stay committed to each other and to their goals.

In the end, viewers are left with a sense of hope for the family as they work to reunite and rebuild their lives. The episode serves as a reminder of the importance of family, and the damage that can be caused when individuals make choices that put their own desires above the needs of their loved ones.
