First episode, a 19-year-old girl has no right to even come between a married couple with 10 kids, even if they are having problems

When she said she wished he'd drop dead and die the audience laughed...
But if he would of said that the audience would of been mad ...

My condolences on your terrible loss. I'm sure he was a lovely lad, and what happened to you must be unbearable. 💕

Scott is clearly not without fault but man the ex wife and son Chase are disgusting people.

Dr Phil, you're the best. My heart feels hope when you help people

I gotta say, Dr Phil is all for reunification  no matter what. I believe the right  thing to do is divorce in this case. For all concerned.

Wow the new gal is like a younger version of his ex wife and looks like a daughter!🙄

You had 10 kids!
Evidently yall weren’t arguing the entire time.

Why don’t dating websites get shut down as they are doing same ! People are dating multiple people at the same time and who knows whether or not money changes hand !

I couldn't listen to that condescending, young man any more. It's like nails on a chalkboard. If the mom lets him make the rules, the little ones, don't have a chance.

The irony that this family’s tragedy is amusement to us ( me included) is kinda messed up 😵‍💫

1st story, shes ruining her own family by being bitter. And the son is.....nasty as well.

"You're talking down to people and using words you don't even understand"

So talking down to people is fine, just be sure to use words you know

Is like dr Phil had taken side with Scott and is happy with him chasing another girl

In the first episode, no amount of counseling is can I fix the situation. Whether Scott likes it or not whether he thinks it’s fair or not his marriage to Ashley comes at a price and that price is he’ not gonna have a relationship with a majority of his children . Scott can choose how he traumatized his children and then be picky about the way they respond to that trauma. There’s no doubt in my mind that Scott had an affair with Ashley that affair ended them marriage. That during the breakup of the marriage, Ashley antagonized the elder children. She rubbed it in their face that Scott was leaving Melinda to be with her because he’s not happy in his relationship with Melinda, which is disgusting and unacceptable I don’t know how Ashley had the audacity to say that she despises the woman whose husband she was sleeping with who’s marriage she destroyed let alone say that the children who have every right to hate her don’t need to like her or love her and actually thinks there’s any chance that they are gonna want anything to do with her let alone the child she’s carrying

The son is so obnoxious

same thing with the sites or apps now like that Grinder grdnr or whatever etc...

Step off your high horse Phil!

This isn't a new 2026 episode! He hasn't done a show for years! Unfortunately.

The father will do the same to Ashley, that is why he chose some one younger he can program to be stuck at home with him as the centre of her world like he did his wife until he needed an ego boost from a young girl, good luck Ashley as you are already lying for him !
