Dr. Phil - Season 12 Episode 89

Heather says her 19-year-old daughter, Nicki, has a history of lying and has faked two pregnancies and even fabricated a childbirth -- and she fears for her daughter’s mental stability. She says Nicki, who lives out-of-state, sent her pictures of her protruding belly and a newborn — whom she named Aubrie — and even requested hand-knitted clothing for the infant. Nicki admits that she lied about the first pregnancy but insists she really was pregnant the second time — but had an abortion and was too scared to tell her mom. Emotions run high when Nicki faces her family on Dr. Phil’s stage. Why did she take the deception so far? And, where are the medical records supporting her claims? Heather says she and her husband, David, were devastated when they learned the truth — and they don’t believe Nicki was ever pregnant. Nicki agrees to take a polygraph test — what will the results reveal? And, how can this family move forward and learn to trust Nicki again?
