10 Kids, 1 Affair: The Ultimate Divide?

Twenty-seven-year-old Whitney, the oldest of 10 children, says she had the perfect family growing up — but everything changed five years ago, when her father, Scott, left her mother, Melinda, for his current wife, Ashley, who was 19 at the time. Since then, she says her family has been at war: Her parents have been fighting dirty, her siblings have chosen sides, and Scott hasn’t seen his six youngest children in four years. Desperate for peace and reconciliation, Whitney reaches out to Dr. Phil for help. Can this feuding family come to a truce? Scott and Melinda face each other for the first time in five years on Dr. Phil’s stage. Why did Scott leave their marriage — and his kids? And, can Melinda let go of her anger and find forgiveness? Then, Whitney’s brother, Chase, and sister, Lindy, who haven’t seen each other in five years, face off onstage.
