Grown Son Asks Why His Parents Stay Together If Neither Is Happy

Randy was 15 years old when he first started seeing his parents fight -- "a big emotional roller coaster" as he describes it – thinking they were on the verge of divorce, then they'd work it out, only to struggle once again.

"I can remember one specific instance where I left to go get food and came back, and my dad was gone, and his wedding ring was flushed down the toilet, and his phone was thrown in the pool," recalls Randy, who's now 18. "What hurts me the most is that my parents are still together and neither of them are happy."

His mom says she is obsessed with proving his dad cheated -- watch their story here.

In the video above, Randy describes his painful memories, and then Dr. Phil shares if he thinks Randy's parents' marriage can -- or should -- be saved.
