Yesterday (I missed)
Sisters Ashley, 30, and Megan, 24, say growing up they were sexually abused repeatedly by their step-grandfather, Joseph Palmer, and claim their grandmother, Peggy, knew about the abuse — but did nothing to stop it. In 2007, Palmer was convicted of 151 counts of sexual misconduct and sentenced to more than 250 years in prison. The sisters say they can’t move on until they get an apology from Peggy, who continues to adamantly deny that the abuse ever took place. Emotions run high on Dr. Phil’s stage when the sisters face their grandmother for the first time since the trial. Why does Peggy say her granddaughters are lying? Plus, what causes Peggy to storm off stage?
Today
Dr. Phil continues his conversation with Ashley and Megan, who say they were sexually abused for years by their step-grandfather. And although he has been convicted, the siblings say their grandmother, Peggy, continues to deny that the abuse ever took place. Peggy insists her granddaughters are lying and have ruined her life. Is there any hope of fixing this fractured family? Hear from Ashley and Megan’s mother, Brenda, who says she is furious with Peggy, whom she trusted to care for her daughters. Did Brenda ever suspect anything was going on? How can Ashley and Megan begin to heal the wounds of the past and move forward?
Grandma says it's a conspiracy between the girls, the witnesses AND the jury.
And they wont be able to move on period. With or without an apology. Not until they are able to in their hearts and minds. No apology will make that happen.

When I confronted MIL, and told her I knew what her #1 favorite son had done to her little girl, EVERY NIGHT FOR FOUR YEARS starting when she was 8 and he was 12,
10 feet from MIL, in a squeaky bed, with the door open (she was not allowed to close her door EVER),
MIL said, "She's a liar."
I told her that her son had confirmed it. (He had.) I told her that she couldn't possibly have NOT KNOWN.
That was the last time I spoke to her.
