Be it verbal, mental or physical, domestic abuse leaves crippling effects in all facets of life. The following clip you're about to see is from Dr. Phil's segment called "Brat Camp." He invited four families with parents struggling to take control over their child, and failing to create a peaceful household. One of those families was Wendy and her 12-year-old son, Noah.
After settling into their room assignment, Wendy and Noah begin an exercise. They must sit face-to-face and share each other's upsetting behaviors. Noah accuses Wendy of hitting him on the plane ride to L.A., and an argument ensues. Noah tells his mother to "shut up" and then slaps her across the face. Wendy is stunned. I couldn't believe it, either.
Accusations fly on both sides, and it's clear there was a lot of disrespect in this household. In the final update, the show reported that Wendy and Noah made improvements since the experiment, and now work together to communicate in a much healthier matter. Wendy says she's taken back control of the house and is a genuine mom again to Noah.
Though there may be more to this story that viewers don't see, nonetheless, I'm so glad to see that they are getting professional help!
