Carina wrote in to the show haunted by horrific grief. She says she needs Dr. Phil's help to put her life back together for her two teenage boys. She says she now has to drink herself to sleep at night to chase away her thoughts of the gruesome murders of her two eldest sons, her ex-husband, his girlfriend, her young son and her father on a camping trip that took place three years ago. Her sons, Quinton and Roland, say they are both concerned about their mom. They both admit to not confronting her about her behavior because they do not want to trigger her rage. Quinton says he needed to take over as the man of the house and is worried what will happen if he's not around.

Sixteen years ago, Monica's 45-year-old brother, Jeff, moved back into his childhood bedroom in his mother's home and has never left. Monica claims Jeff is lazy, entitled, and takes advantage of their mother, Janet, who was forced to come out of retirement to take care of Jeff and his three children. Janet admits she's an extreme enabler who has given Jeff well over $100K, raises his children, and pays all his bills. She says Jeff has reverted back to a high schooler and instead of looking for a better job or being a father, he would rather play video games all day or sneak out to hang out with his old high school friends. Jeff's daughter, Tori, says her dad is a terrible father, and an angry, immature, emotionally unavailable coward. Jeff says he wishes he could be a better father and provider but admits he's pretty much given up. Jeff comes face-to-face with his fed-up family. Is he finally ready to turn his life around?
