Elaina says she is in a frustrating situation:
her sister Shanell is constantly calling her to
complain about her husband Tim, but refuses to
take Elaina’s advice to leave him. Though
Tim cheated on Shanell just 30 days into their
marriage, he says his cheating days are long gone,
which both Shanell and Elaina have a difficult
time believing. Shanell says she is dedicated
to working out their problems, especially since
they have a young son to raise. Dr. Yvonne Thomas
met with the couple, saying that although Elaina
is well-intentioned, she will need to back off
so that Shanell and Tim can find peace on their
own.
