Summary

Carmen says she thought she had the perfect husband in Dennis, until earlier this year, when she discovered that, for most of their 10-year marriage, he had been cheating on her with at least 15 women he met online — and secretly videotaping the enco... (more)unters. She says that Dennis pretended to be a retired sheriff and a pimp to lure the women, many of whom he says were prostitutes — and nearly emptied their life savings to fund his secret escapades. After he admitted to his indiscretions, Carmen says she took Dennis back — but why? And, how does Dennis explain his actions? Dr. Phil sends international Christian evangelist and author Paula White, who counsels couples in crisis, to Carmen and Dennis’ home, where she says she uncovered something that left her very concerned for the couple’s 13-year-old daughter. Then, Jacob and Lucy say in 2010, their 18-month-old son, Izaiah, was struck by a 17-year-old drunk driver, while his grandfather pushed him in a stroller, leaving him partially paralyzed and brain damaged. With medical bills topping $1 million, the young parents say they’re struggling financially, despite being awarded a $55 million judgment — money they will likely never receive. For the first time, the parents speak to the driver, who spent 480 days in a juvenile detention center for the crime. Will his words offer any comfort? Plus, don’t miss Dr. Phil’s big surprise for Izaiah’s parents! This program contains sexual content. Viewer discretion advised.
