Topic : 12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

Brandon is a sick jerk and Amy condones it.  She's weak.  Heidi is her best friend  who doesn't want Amy (or her children) hurt by this man anymore.  Amy is just as repulsive as Brandon if she continues to let Brandon in her children's lives. 

What happened to the moms who would tear a man apart who dared hurt her children?  Amy made me want to puke when she admitted that she actually WATCHED Brandon hose her little girl down with cold water on a cold day. 

I don't buy the whole "Amy is so weak" defense though.  She certainly got dolled up enough to be on Dr. Phil.  She's reveling in Brandon wanting her back.  She doesn't deserve a friend like Heidi at all.

Good Lord!  There's enough cliche and drama in that "letter to Brandon" to drive anyone batty.

"the fire neds to be extinguished"?????   wth??  Is that so Brandon will comprehend what you mean?

It's positively amazing that there are actually women out there who think Brandon is a victim. 

I'll repeat it again and again -- looks fade, cruelness stays.  Y'all are looking at Brandon because he think he's hot (He's so not) and you can't stand strong women.  It's a shame really.

Bravo to you!  Perfect Perfect Perfect.  I could NOT have said it better!

"Running her mouth"??? Is that what it's called when you've witness abuse?

Yeah, she's making Brandon's situation worse because  she calls it like she  sees it.

We're not just talking about  an AFFAIR!!!!  He is abusive and categorically denied it on stage.  That's why Heidi is so mad.  Wake up!

This guy is selfish,immature and a jerk! He compartmentalizes and blames everyone but himself! Amy should have ditched him long ago! But Heidi tho a good friend needs to stay out of it! She is in way to deep in their biz'!!!

how can you say that what worked for me is bs? i never felt the need to justify my relationship to others who were badmouthing me or defend my abuser which is so often the case in these situations. my point is this... there is nothing anyone can tell her that will make her do anything until she is ready to do it. if he is abusing her, she knows it. no one needs to tell her that. if he is cheating.. she knows it. no one needs to tell her that. you wanna bring up these other women. what's your point? people can talk until they are blue in the face and if a woman wants to stay with a man that is treating her wrong she is gonna stay. period.  

Amy isnt as weak as she wants everyone think she is. She has ganged up on her husband with Heidi and anyone else who would take her side. Brandon has some serious issues and he really needs help. Many people have said that Brandon is an abuser and they never change. Its very hard to change when everyone around you is saying you cant. I dont believe that it is wrong for Amy to believe in her husband. My father was very abusive for 12 years, but he did change. The last 11 years of his life he attended church and therapy and really was a devoted father and husband to us. My mother divorced him and it was like a wake up call. They started from scratch. He was out of the house for 3 years with no "sleepovers" only 2-3 hour visits. Brandon needs help. The only way he can is to work on one thing at a time. He has to fix his self before he can fix the relationship with Amy. Heidi is not wrong for not wanting her friend to be in an abusive relationship, however telling Amy that if she goes back to Brandon she wont be her friend anymore I do not agree with. Amy needs a true friend who advises her, not one who says do it my way or Im not talking to you anymore. Thats very selfish and childish. She loves her husband and wants to believe in him and that isnt wrong.

stinks.

 

I don't condone Brandon's behaviour.  I agree with Dr. Phil that they should be apart.  It is not ok for Brandon to cheat and lie and be cruel to Amy and the kids.  Sociopathic personalities are dangerous.  I didn't express this in my post, so I'm expressing it here.  It is also not ok for Brandon to control Amy.  She is a victim here - not only of Brandon but of her friend.

 

Heidi has her heart in the right place but I stick to my opinion that she is too interfereing.  She has given Amy the ultimatum that it is her husband or her friend.  If Amy chooses her husband, and she did, and once Heidi is gone, how can Heidi help her?

 

Please be more respectful in your posts if you disagree with someone's opinion, that would be appreciated.  Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, as Dr. Phil says - even people whose opinions are different from yours.  Sarcasm and ridicule are unbecoming to anyone.

If Amy decides not to take dr.phil's advice to stay away from Brandon, until he gets better, then she deserves to be in hell, once again. She needs to think of her precious children.

 

If it were me, I wouldn't EVER take back that snake! 

What the hell is wrong with these people.
He needs to keep it in his pants.
She needs to grow a set.
And the friend, Heidi ... what the hell right does she have to cut Amy off because she made a decision that Heidi doesn't agree with . Heidi acts like all of this is happening to her and not to her friend.
People like this should not be allowed to be on TV - all these people want is attention. Shame on Dr. Phil for putting trashy people like this on his show.
