- September 16, 2008
In this episode of The Steve Wilkos Show, titled "Teen Girls Confront Bad Moms," Steve welcomes a group of teenage girls who have had enough of their mothers' bad behavior. These girls are fed up with their moms' neglectful or abusive behavior, and they have come to the show to confront their mothers and demand change.
The first guest is a teenager named Dede who says her mother, Theresa, has been neglecting her and giving her younger sister special treatment. Dede feels like her mother has abandoned her, leaving her to fend for herself. Theresa denies these allegations and claims she treats both of her daughters equally, but Steve isn't convinced. He brings out Dede's little sister, Jasmine, who tells a very different story. She says Theresa has been doting on her and neglecting Dede. Will Theresa finally admit her mistakes and make amends with her daughter, or will she continue to deny any wrongdoing?
Next up is 17-year-old Sierra, whose mother, Karen, has been physically and emotionally abusive towards her for years. Sierra says she's had enough and wants to confront her mother on the show. Karen denies the abuse and claims Sierra is making it all up for attention. Steve is outraged by Karen's denial and brings out Sierra's aunt, who confirms that Karen has a long history of abusive behavior towards her daughter. Will Karen finally admit to her actions and seek help, or will she continue to gaslight Sierra and deny any responsibility?
The third guest is 16-year-old Alyssa, whose mother, Denise, has been judgmental and manipulative towards her for years. Alyssa says Denise constantly puts her down and makes her feel ashamed of herself. Denise denies this and says she's just trying to give her daughter some tough love. But Steve doesn't buy it, and he brings out Alyssa's best friend, who tells a very different story about Denise's behavior. Will Denise finally see how her actions are affecting her daughter, or will she continue to justify her behavior?
The fourth and final guest is 18-year-old Lucy, who says her mother, Mary, is an alcoholic and has been neglecting her and her siblings for years. Lucy says Mary often spends all her money on alcohol and leaves her children to fend for themselves. Mary denies the addiction and claims she's been doing the best she can under difficult circumstances. But Steve isn't convinced, and he brings out a neighbor who witnessed Mary's drinking firsthand. Will Mary finally admit her addiction and get the help she needs to be a better mother, or will she continue to ignore her problems?
Throughout the show, Steve provides support and guidance for these teenage girls as they confront their mothers and demand change. He also offers advice and resources for parents who may be struggling with addiction, neglect, or abuse. With Steve's help, these families may be able to find a path forward and heal their relationships.
