Topic : 12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

I would hope that authorites where this couple lives have seen this show and will be watching for any sign of abuse. On yesterday's show I felt somewhat sorry for Amy, felling as though she was confused and maybe just scared to be alone. But after today's show, Amy is just as guilty as Brandon for the abuse they are inflicking upon their children. Neither of these people deserve to have custody of their children, Brandon tended to be the one actually carrying out the abuse, but when Amy was there, saw it happening, and refused to stop it, she become just as guilty.

I would also like to comment on some of the other messages I have read where people are wondering why Amy's best friend is so involved in their relationship. My view on this is that she lived with Amy and Brandon and ssen what went on,  I believe she has Amy and the childrens best interest at heart. She bring an outside view to the situation, where as Amy is obviously not able to look at her situation objectively, and without feeling guilty or just plan dependent on Brandon, her best friend can. Even if Amy did not want to listen to her friend, she should listen to her parents. I would think that the fact that dealing with Brandon has caused her mother such problems that she has had to start taking medication would give Amy a clue, rather it would seem that Amy doesnt care much about her parents.

All in all, this couple both appear to put themselves first and have little regard for anyone else. Amy would rather subject herself, and her children to abuse then actually open her eyes and see the situation for what it is (but then she would have to be alone, and she doesnt want that). She would rather lose her best friend, drain her parents of money, and cause her mother health problems, then actually do something for herself and leave Brandon. Then there is Brandon, who flat out puts himself first and has no regard for anyone else. He sleeps with who he wants, he says what he wants (appropriate or not), he does what he wants, he would rather work out and try to physically look good, then try to work on his parneting skills and help his children. He would rather sleep with the nanny then see a marriage therapist to better things with his wife.    I dont know who is worse at this point Amy or Brandon???????????

Please tell me these two people who refuse to grow up are at the least on birth control?  That way when one of them does something stupid again, (he, having another affair, and she taking him back) won't have another child's life destroyed by their bad behavior.

Very well said - I agree completely.  And I'd like to add to Dr. Phil, and to Amy if she's reading this - please remember that there is a little girl involved here that is not Brandon's biological child.  Someday that little one will be a lovely young teenager - will you trust Brandon around her?  He's already proven that he has a big problem with boundaries.  It's a horrible thought, I know, but it happens every single day - please, please, think about it.  It really could happen.
