(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.

where is the sorrow

I don't believe he is sorry for what he has done. The wife / x-wife is a nut if she goes back to him. He only wants to get out of his father's barn he is living in. Who wouldn't want to get out of the barn and live in a nice home. He has no where to go and the money he has to put out to the wife and child is too much for him so why not go back and say I changed I want to make the best for my family. LOOSER. Let him go and move on open your eyes and close your heart. Don't DO IT.

who's marrige is it

I am not saying the husbands behavior has been correct .

he is a cheater and liar but that is between the " husband and wife " what goes on in their marriage is their bussiness and if she chooses to work on her marriage that is her choice that women needs to stay out of it and work on her own problems (that she must have or she wouldnt have been living with them )she told Amy what she needed to know and that should have been the end of her involvment if she is a true friend she will step back let Amy make her own decisions support her in those choices but let it be at that

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: truth2know

I would consider myself very fortunate to have a friend like Heidi, who is so close as a sister, but even more, because she is strong and honest enough to be loyal to her friend through personal adversity. I would be very thankful if my friend told me that my husband hit on her or anyone else, no matter how drunk or incapacitated he was. That is no excuse, and is even more reason to know the truth and move on! Thank God for true best friends, as most women now are out for themselves, but it is clear that Heidi is truly concerned for her friend's safety and well-being. My best friend is like my sister, and these are the ones to cherish and stay close to.

i totally agree...BUt what does that have to do with the fact that shes taking being a good friend PAST its limits? Now shes just being NOSY

Turning the Blame

It seems as though everytime Dr. Phil asks Brandon a guestion about his behavior he turns it to an attack on Amy and her friend, to keep the blame away from him. I am suprised that Dr. Phil didn't call him on this, but maybe he will tomorrow. I think Amy needs to wake up and realize once a cheater always a cheater and kick that boy to the curb. I say boy because that is what he is because a man would never do this to his wife. You women out there who are blaming Amy for his cheating need to wake up. The blame lies with Brandon, no matter what is going on in their marriage you never cheat!!!

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Can't wait to see what happens on tomorrow's show 'cause Dr. Phil got NOWHERE with Brandon today. Did anyone else notice on the clips that when Brandon hugged Amy he patted her back? --- it was like an aquaintance hug rather than a hug shared by husband and wife. He doesn't seem sincere to me. I think Amy needs to wake up.

The Nanny Affair Part 1

Quote From: juzzaboo

Why do women let men do this to them. he didn't only cheat on her with a women but he cheated on her with a teenager a kid practicaly!! Im sure she didn't hire this girl to watch her husband. that wife should have kept that divorce and let him be with the teenager or any other kid and let him get in trouble for being a petafile and not let it shame the family. Im sorry but i was always raised that your actions dosen't just reflect on you but your family to. I was told never act a fool like that. so now people are going to look at her saying that she is married to a petafile and she has kids. the general public would worry for the kids. he did it to a teenager do you think he would do somethin to the kids. you never now!!

I agree with you, This is my concern also with the children. On the Dr Phil it shows a picture of the family with Brandon his wife, 2 boys and a little girl. What makes everyone so sure that he won't give this little girl some pills and take advantage of her too. Brandon wake up!!!!!! Admit to what you did. Amy wake up!!!!! you could lose your children over this as Child Protective Services would look at this as you are not protecting your children. My question is if this teenager was under the age of 18, why wasn't the authorities called and have him arrested.

Heidi should back off

I think you are wrong Dr. Phil for bringing Heidi into this at the beginning of the show. Why is her word gospel? She is bitter and vengeful or comes across that way. I understand the compasssion between friends but like stated on the show they had no problems prior to Heidi becoming involved. I do not condone his actions and believe he is completely honest but Heidi is not helping anything with her rude comments and constant interruptions. What happened to Dr. Phil counseling the couple? I have a lot of respect for you and your opinion but I truly feel you are off your game from what I saw today.

RUN!

I was married to a man very similar to this guy. They will deny doing things that were witnessed by others, they will lie about anything, and they will always blame things on others, never taking responsibility for anything (especially their own actions). Get out now, he won't change. This behavior is very deeply ingrained in him and change is unlikely. Do you really want your children to be exposed to his behavior? Is it the type of behavior you would want your children to emulate? Follow your family and friends' advise and cut him loose.

I understand........

My husband did the same thing to my family, with our sitter which I considered my little sister, she was 12 when we first had her over, then she was 18 and sleeping with my husband. Its been almost 5 years now but the pain in my sons life will always be there. I did kick him out and he now lives with the teenager (now 22 and he is 42), ignoring his responsibilities as a parent. It is very hard and I can understand her pain and unless you actually go through it, I believe no one can really get it or know what they would do. I feel like she should kick him out like I did but living through this everyday now, I don't know what would of been best for my boys. They are not happy!!!!!
