Dr. Phil

Season 11 Episode 83: Dirty Divorce? Why Are They Still Living under One Roof?

In this real-life War of the Roses, Dr. Phil speaks to Laura and Ross, a once-happily married couple, who say that although they’ve been divorced for years, they both refuse to leave their home, which at times has resembled a war zone. Ross says his 10-year marriage to Laura started to crumble when she began pursuing younger men. He says Laura became a sex-obsessed party girl who chose the “cougar” lifestyle over her marriage, and he says she should leave. Laura says she likes to hang out with younger men, but denies being a sex-obsessed party girl. She says her marriage simply fell apart and argues that the house is as much hers as it is Ross’ and he should be the one to leave. Both admit that living under one roof has taken its toll, and that their arguments have gotten physical. Laura says she believes Ross is trying to kill her and that she had to be hospitalized after she claims he drugged her. Ross says Laura gets so heated she once stabbed him with a pen during an argument. Dr. Phil speaks to their 17-year-old daughter, Kayla. Hear how she says her toxic home life has affected her. Plus, learn what you must know if you’re going through a divorce with children.
