(Original Air Date: 09/12/07) Affairs, fights, lies and dark secrets are tearing a family apart. Brandon and Amy have been married for 2 1/2 years and have three children. One year into their marriage, Brandon was caught having an affair with their teenage nanny. Was she the only one, or did he cheat with others? The couple's tumultuous relationship reached a breaking point when Amy, who said she feared for her life, obtained a restraining order against Brandon. What led him to file divorce papers?  Then, five months into the proceedings, their relationship reignited. Why did Amy let Brandon back into her life? Amy's parents and her ex-best friend, Heidi, say Amy's heading down the road to disaster. So why do they doubt Brandon's recent revelations? And, why does Brandon say Amy's ruining his reputation? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

KICK HIS ASS TO THE CURB!!!

This bum isn't worth wasting your time on lady.  You don't seem too bright yourself, lady. After all the things he has done, how can you even consider taking him back?  No wonder your best frien won't talk to you.

The fireman and the wife

I hope I do not post this twice, but I think I lost the first one. Sorry if it is a duplicate.

 

The husband is an anti-social, patholigical liar. He could not remember what he told

to "whom". He squirmed in his seat trying to retrive "answers" from his memory-bank

and nothing was truthful. He tried to divert the attention away from himself by insulting

the friend. Admitting to one- "come-on", but denying the other "come-on". Come-on,

who are you kidding Mr. Firepants? If I were the wife, I would proceed with the divorce and

reinstate the protective order because he is scary. He told his wife that he could eliminate 

her by using cememt blocks, (he admitted that), told her friend a similar story (he denied

ever telling the friend). Wow, he is a pack of lies, and has a criminal, self-serving mind that

will go to any means to fulfill his needs. "Scott Peterson", comes to the forefront of my mind

here.

 

The husband psychological issues superceed any of the marital issues they are facing. They both

need independent therapy long before any marital therapy. The wife really needs to depend on the

people in her life that love her and get emotional strength so that she can be a strong, healthy single mother. I cannot see the marriage working because he is not marriage material. (at all)

he is a total loser as well as she and friend

I do not understand why this woman wants to stay married to this man.  Never could you tell someone that is telling lies and being so deceiving and he is just disgusting.  He has not changed he will never change and is talking in circles nothing on this show today makes any sense, I feel like it all went in one big circle. 

That wife is so in denial but it seems that she is too involved with the red head too!   I have never watched a Dr.Phil show that makes me just want to turn the channel as this show has!

The Nanny Affair

OK, I am watching the show now. In the first half hour he couldn't tell one truth!!  He will never change. Once a cheater always a cheater and once a mental abuser always a mental abuser. All that crap about the two women sitting around all day and collaborating lies?! He has quite a fantasy life going. I have been watching Dr Phil's face and I can tell he doesn't believe one work Brandon is saying.

What are you thinking Amy?

I think that you would be crazy to take Brandon back Amy.  You will notice that as soon as the pressure is on him, he starts to show the "Old Brandon" as you said in the show.  You are playing with fire.  In my opinion, he is a very dangerous man.  You are taking a really big chance staying with him. 

 

And this is for Heidi.  I understand that you are upset with Amy, but withdrawing your friendship is not the right thing to do.  If you don't want to get involved, fine, but be her friend.  A true friend doesn't retract her friendship just because you don't like the decisions that she is making.  Trust me, that this is harder for her, than it is for you.  It is hard, no matter how bad your husband is, to just give up on your dream of your marriage.  At least now, if she makes the decision end it for good, she will know without a doubt that she gave it her all.  Just be her friend, not matter how frustrated you are with her.  Support her no matter what.  Don't be a fair weather friend.  Be a true friend.

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: libram

Amy, your husband is a liar and cheat. Open your eyes and see what is so obvious to the rest of the world.  Stop thinking of yourself and start thinking of your kids.  What kind of morals and values are they going to have with Brandon as a role model? I think once you see the video of the show you will be amazed at how blind you have been.

 

Heidi, you are truly a best friend.  But, there is only so much you can do.  You have stated the obvious and done what you can do, now it is time to back off and let Amy make her own decision.  As a friend, you need to support her on whatever she decides - even if you don't agree.

 

Brandon, why can't you just answer a question? We could ask you what color the sky is and you'd point fingers at someone else and blame them for makeing the sky too blue or not blue enough.  If this is you changed for the better, I'd hate to see how you were before.  Personally, I think you need counseling and a swift kick in the ass. 

You have said it better than I did.

i agree w/ you!!

Quote From: lab_an

I totally agree w/ you.  They have NO chance w/ her "friend" thinking everything is her business.  The wife will never have a successful marriage/relationship w/ anyone while she lets her friend dictate her life.  She should marry her friend.
But sometimes we need someone to open our eyes!!

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: mariecurie

This guy has a remarkable talent for lying straigt-faced.  Is this woman for real to want someone like this in her life who is so devious.  I agree with her best friend.  I don't believe he has a soul.  Then you are left with nothing to work with if this guy is just a pretender.
I also agree with you. He does have a soul though, most likely a very guilty one. The marraige is over. She should forgive him  to move on with Her life, but cut him out of her life from even getting close because the children will be very hurt. They will want nothing more than to see Mom and Dad together.

babysitter affair

After 25 years of marriage,

18 years ago my husband had an affair with the babysitter.

She conceived on purpose. They had 2 children before  our divorce was completed.

Three years later he committed suicide.  I was blamed because I left him.  ????   I rather felt THROWN OUT with the bath water.

 

I suffered severe financial setbacks  but the children, hers and mine paid  and are still paying the ultimate price.

The sins of the father......
