Mother to Ex’s New Wife: ‘I Want You to Act Like a Stepmom but You Act Like a Mom’ | Dr. Phil

Cinderella and Snow White are fables of women with wicked stepmothers, but what happens when your child's life starts to resemble those fairy tales? Today’s guests confront who they call the “stepmonsters” in their lives. Keri says her ex-husband, Ken’s fiancée, Cari, is already an evil stepmother who is so strict with her children that it makes them physically ill when they have to go for a visit. Ken says that is absolutely ludicrous and their children have a great time when they visit him. He also claims his ex-wife Keri is very jealous of his fiancée, Cari. Keri admits she wants Cari to “feel fat….” and “put on dirty underwear” for days as that is how she makes Keri’s oldest daughter feel. Keri also says it is unfair for her to live on welfare with their children while Ken lives in a $1.8 million homes and drives a luxury car. Will they be able to effectively communicate and stop fighting for the children’s sake? We’ll also meet another guest, Julie, who says her son’s stepmom, Melanie, is trying take over her motherly duties by signing up to be class mom, signing her children’s school permission slips and asking Julie’s children to call her “mom.” Melanie says she has to step up because Julie is an unfit mother who uses drugs, does not give structure or guidance and curses in front of the children. Scott says Julie is an ex-girlfriend who still wants to get back together with him, which will never happen. Are Melanie and Scott’s allegations of abuse real OR not? They claim Scott and Julie’s son was burned on his body in her care. Julie vehemently denies abusing her son and claims Christmas lights caused the burns. Who is telling the truth? (2305117)
