Should They Stay Together?

Dr. Phil’s guests say they’re at a crossroads in their relationship, and they’re not sure if they should leave their spouses. Amber says her husband, Chris, is mentally, emotionally and verbally abusive. She says he throws things, curses at her and he even locked her out of the house in the pouring rain! Chris admits that he has control issues, but says Amber’s insecurity is the real problem. Can Chris get a handle on his anger, or should Amber cut her losses and move on? Then, Melissa and her soon-to-be ex husband, Paul, live in different homes, but due to financial burdens, she’s considering reconciling with him. The couple has three daughters, and they both say the cost of maintaining two households is overwhelming. Would Melissa set a bad example for her girls if she lets Paul back in the house for financial reasons? Family attorney Areva Martin weighs in.
