(Original Air Date: 09/13/07) The saga continues, as Dr. Phil brings you more of the affair that shattered the lives of a husband and wife and her best friend and parents. One year into his marriage, Brandon was caught cheating on his wife, Amy, with their teenage nanny. After fearing for her life, Amy filed a restraining order against Brandon, and he filed for divorce. But, their separation didn't last long. Amy decided to let Brandon back into her life, much to the dismay of her best friend, Heidi, and her parents, Cyndie and Mont. Why does Cyndie say she's scared of Brandon, and why does Mont say he doesn't believe a word Brandon says? Then, how are the kids faring during all of this chaos in the home? Heidi and Cyndie say they worry Brandon's discipline is over the top, but he says he's a loving father. What does Amy have to say? And, why does Dr. Phil question Brandon's sincerity to change? Is there hope this couple can save their marriage or should they call it quits once and for all? Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

Quote From: turtle96

Yes! I noticed this also. He is a sick man.
I also noticed that he was gloating...he gets no sympathy from me, nor does blondie, she's really showing her true color...there is dumb and then there is real dumb...sorry, but the only sympathy from me goes out to the kids that are in this mess...you can take the horse to the water but you can't make him drink...and that is brandon 100%....

Quote From: smartgirl23

what in the world are you thinking? It is people like you that give religion a bad rap. Please you really need to rethink what you have said. It is her friend that is making her think like she is suppose to and her mother. Nobody ever said that all fireman cheat. Wake up

I am not here for religion,,good or bad,,,,and as for your comment???? who ever said all fireman cheat?? maybe you need to wipe the sleep out your eyes and wake up yourself!!!!!! your comment makes no sense!

dead eyes

RUN, RUN, RUN !!!!!    This guy reminds me so much of Scott Peterson and we all know what happened to Lacy.  HIs wife should run and so should Heidi.  I don't think they are safe with this man.  He seems like a sociopath to me.  Poor little kids to have to live with this.

09/13 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

Quote From: threex2

I think they have a lot of problems that maybe could be solved with Dr. Phil's help..  BUT in my opinion it should be done between the two of them without the interference from the girlfriend and parents.    I believe I had such a beautiful marriage because we solved our own problems and never let anyone come between us.
I agree that normally, couples should solve their own problems.  But there comes a time when things should no longer remain behind closed doors - when a husband is sleeping with the nanny and abusing the children, the wife needs all the help she can get from family and friend who care about her.

I wonder what god was thinking when brandon was shoving pills down a young girls throat to rape her??????She definatley needs her friend,,,brandon needs to crawl back under the rock he crawled out of!
Oh wait!  The girls "wanted" the pills.  Plus, they're  "whores"  who are just "jealous".

He's a perv!

I think she needs to leave him totally alone.  Tell him to go away and play like that with someone else.

3's a crowd in this story too -- Brandon is  one who should be out!

I'm glad you have such a "beautiful" marriage.  But -- did your husband date-rape your nanny?  Physically abuse the children?  Mentally abuse  you?  Threaten to put you under a concrete block?   ah...... didn't think so.

What do you think Brandon would do?

If Amy cheated on him??


You think he'd wait for her to "find" herself??

Guilt

I think a large part of this is guilt.  No one wants to feel like they have failed.  We all want to beat the marriage odds of 50% and we all want what is best for the kids.  I think she really thinks that if she can make this work then that is in the best interest of the kids, and then also she wouldnt have failed in her mind.  What she isnt realizing is that it is impossible for her to save a marriage that has already been broken.  He broke the vows nullifying the contract of marriage when he stepped outside, and his continued lying and bad behavior shows that he is in no real way trying to fix what is broken.  She cannot fix this, only he can, and I just think he came on here with the intent of "fooling" Dr. Phil, foolish man, and his wife. 

 

The decision to divorce shouldnt be taken lightly, however in my opinion due to his breaking of the vows there is no marriage here, only a legal binding by paper.
