Dr. Phil - Season 11 Episode 177

Five years ago, Andrew and Sarah lost custody of their then 5-year-old son, Drew, to Sarah’s mother, Roberta, while they struggled with alcohol addiction.

Andrew and Sarah admit they’ve made mistakes but say they’ve turned their lives around, and now they want their son back.
