Why shouldn’t she tell her story? This whole sordid thing with the sister in law affair , hunters drug use, other affairs, etc. were all out in the media - telling her story for her. She has every right to tell her own story- her own experience. You don’t have to read it if you don’t like it. Hunter seems like a real POS tbh. Also- she has to support herself now.
This is a typical American family. I've gone through this in my own family including losing my son and having both of my parents heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol. Does the thing in this country and it's called addiction and it's a really horrible disease that I don't think gets enough attention.
@@Bidenfriend You may not like Biden for legitimate reasons, but Trump thinks he has the right to asset himself up as King of USA. If you are okay with that you belong in prison. And all of Trumps legal and moral crimes that are as extensive and evil as any serial murderer.
@@lisamarieashby2523 name one crime he is being convicted of ?? I know he is guilty of lower gas prices and lower crime rates no wars and no inflation!!!! Facts only not emotions
The first time I heard about his head injuries in the accident that took his mother's life, it made me wonder. I don't think we put enough emphasis on how childhood brain trauma can affect people in their adult years. Hunter sustained a fractured skull and severe traumatic brain injuries. He said in an interview that his drug use was related to that accident, and I believe him. I am well aware of how childhood brain trauma can affect adults because someone closed to me also sustained childhood brain injuries.
Hunter Biden should be ashamed of himself! Why put all the entire blame on the widowed sister-in-law?? If this is indeed a true fact, they both are equally guilty or responsible. It does still take two to tango. Last time I checked, it is physically and logistically impossible to have a tryst or an affair without both parties participating!!
@@annwrog I agree. She’s wrong as two left shoes for turning to her married brother in law in her grief amd loss, and he’s wrong as three left shoes for taking advantage of that situation. On all accounts, the hottest of hot messes.
Sounds like trust issues. Know your partner better for one. Two, if you go into a relationship with an obvious financial advantage (you're better at managing money) don't proceed to listen to this fool. The average American carries $92k in consumer debt and the majority of people can't control their diet & eating habits, but hey, you do you boo boo! My suggestion, manage your own account and if your spouse has questions about where money is going to answer honestly and as accurate as possible. Her downfall didn't manifest due to Hunter not sharing financial accounts. It was letting Hunter continue with his addiction comfortably. She said she loved him, but at the same time she let him continue his addiction for how many years?
Yes her lovely dress reminds me of a much more modern version of something from around the time of the French Revolution . She knows she has to be very careful of what she says or it could be treacherous for her .
This poor woman...the way he harmed her is uncomprhesable...how do u sleep with your brothers widow..I dont know who is worse HUNTER or the widow....SHAME!!!
The worse is the wife for allowing him to do that and still remaining next to him given the worst example for her children only because he has the money she is Stupid 🤮
I think she is making good progress on that path. It is ironic but once you chose to forgive, you actually set yourself free. In forgiveness is very toxic and hurts the person. God bless her.
Alchohol is no excuse for cheating on your wife! Who knows what STD's he could have exposed her to!!! And the sister in law is a real piece of work! She did the ex-wife a favor taking him off her hands! I can only imagine that Hunter missed his brother so much, he chose the widow more as a way of feeling close to his dead brother but get real or get therapy!! Hopefully the book will be a best seller and this lovely author will draw income from it for herself and the children.
@Cmore Butts I know I care. Because it seems like most people these days have no moral compass. Anything goes. And by the way one of the reasons the relationship didn't work was not just because of his drug addiction, but some or all of the children weren't comfortable with it at all. I damn sure wouldn't be. Not like Biden was when he said that him and his wife supported it. And who is to say that the relationship didn't start when Beau was still alive.
My heart is with Kathleen. She shows so much dignity and decency. I am pretty sure she couldn't know about her husband's financial situation because he didn't share their financial situation with her. It was a tragic period in her life. I admire her that she could withstand this situation. With all my heart, I wish her many healthy and bright days ahead.
If you’re on the fence about reading this book, here’s your sign. I read it in one sitting. One thing I noticed was how she was very careful and GRACEFUL when it came to what she said about a man who’d put her (and their families) through so much. There also seems to be much more to this story that she leads on (not of her own doing or fault) but it’s very clear to see someone was standing behind her making sure certain things weren’t mentioned or were left out. I tip my hat to her for the grace she showed this entire family.
i only heard about this book + really this entire story, just now, as my mom had me order it for her. I had zero clue about any of this, especially the SIL. wow. and its like - this woman/author, literally wrote a book on the ultimate betrayal, a true scorn woman's tale, while recognizing the person who has hurt her most, has a disease, not malice. She maintained the dignity of her family, former inlaws, and the position they hold, while also not allowing herself or her story to be placed in a corner, forgotten of, and silenced. It's crazy how you may be a college student, a nurse, a daughter in law to the President of the US - and we all go through the exact same dilemmas. I obviously haven't read this book as I've mentioned, but already it's clear that a major lesson to be learned is, you will get through this dark time, and there is a way to handle yourself and the situation you never asked to be put in with maturity and grace, & is there really a better F|_|{k you than that?
All you had to say was, "I read it [and]...it’s very clear to see someone was standing behind her making sure certain things weren’t mentioned" which explains everything about this family and administration. ...never voting "D" again.
My heart goes out to this woman, cheating and all the drugs, alcohol and money issues is not easy for a woman who just wants to be loved and cared for with her family. Shame on Hunter, shame on him!
@@Bidenfriend Everyone knew about the laptop! lol I'm sure she did too but will never say anything about it, just like she's willfully playing ignorant to not knowing his finances...yeah right!
I feel your pain. When I finally accepted alcoholism and drug abuse are diseases and forgave the loved one, that I allowed to be in my lifeI. I took a step back and I found me again. And I moved forward with my life alone but happy.
So he's not a sick perv? He's just a victim of addiction? Poor Hunter. At least the Ukrainian gas companies and hookers and I guess drug dealers understand poor Hunter.
@@chriso.8150 bullish!t!!!! Bullish!t!!! Its ABSOLUTELY a choice!! People like you make it sound like addiction is like cancer…just randomly affects people at no choice of their own! Total and complete cowardice to say such lies!! If you are stupid enough to try drugs, well then as the saying goes…play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!
So abusive--all the lies that he maintained (and the sister-in-law). This is an important memoir. She is not alone and hopefully her courage to share her story will not only help others who can see their marriages/relationships/themselves in their marriage, but will inspire real change in policies and laws related to DV, coercive control, family and divorce laws, and the mental health and pharmaceutical industries, too.
@@Bennett9Aint0In3It Women who get married and have their husband's children and spend decades of their lives looking after, nurturing and raising their children are always doing that for the money.
@@recoveringsoul755 I was being my most sarcastic self. There’s little-to-absolutely-no money at all in doing all that needs to be done for newborn, infant, toddler, young, preteenaged, teenaged, and young adult children.
@@lucindanewcomb8769 well there is if you pay someone else. In the early 90's I was told it would be $800 a week for an infant. A WEEK!!! And all these pro lifers are saying have unwanted babies, it'll be fine, you can afford it.
My heart goes out to her, this is a lot of deep betrayal. I'm glad she is able to tell her story, some people don't get over it. I'm glad she was able to pick up the pieces and move forward without this joker.
Hunter struggles with addiction. So be it. The abject corruption and failure of Joe is that he allowed/allows Hunter to be an unofficial face of u.s. policy with some of the most dangerous players in the world.
Well look what his dad is doing to the country as well his daughter has horrific things to say about the father also--remember the dairies --no one talks about that do they?
His wife is a great person to live all those years of pain and not even throw shade on him as well as her sister in law. It takes a real strong person to live under those circumstances.
My heart breaks for her and the children. It's her right to tell her story, but I feel like she's afraid to say certain things, u can see how insecure and broken she comes across its heartbreaking to watch. I pray she heals ans finds true love and success in this next chapter❤️
I'm a parent of an addictived child and I can.honestly tell you it is the very worst thing to go through with a person you dearly love 💖. Very sad too.
I can't count the number of times I couldn't do anything but cry , from the depths of my soul! So I had to give him up to God. There was no other answer, it took me a very long time to even realize that I had to do that for him., When I finally did it became much easier, but I still struggle with it, he recently got some help,? Or so I have faith that we are going to be okay now?
@@valeriebrewer5669 it’s difficult but I also understand the power of letting go. Letting go of the idea of how a person should be but loving them where they are. For who they choose to be… support when you can and setting boundaries for yourself. We can’t fix anyone, and if we truly trust God.. we will find peace wherever they are. I hope this helps.
Addiction? Is that what his problem is really? Best part is we all saw the video and ZERO done about it. The average person does what he did they would still be in prison.
I started reading it 2 days ago and can't put it down. It's great and truthful. I am glad I paid for this book and got it and it flows easily when she is writing it.
@@lastrayden0220 I actually agree with this person. It’s very truthful when it comes to dealing with addiction when the addict doesn’t show up (counseling, rehab, etc)
You ever hear of a ghost writer? A professional writer who can make sense of it all. Someone who can put it down on paper and try to make it a good read & Flow like you said. You have the book, it should tell you who the actual writer of the book is. ?
Most of celebrities, or people of this kind don’t write books by themselves. They hire a ghost writer. How one can write a book with no skills unless one is a real talent or genius. Which is rare
I hope to be able to read this tell all book regarding a horrible time in her life. From her perspective is rare, as the wife is usually the person to vilify, as the reason and she made him do it. Good for her, and prayers for her healing and restoration to her whole body, mind, body and spirit. Keep the faith. The sequel will be how she overcame all to find herself and a true love, in Jesus name Amen!
Why is she writing this now? I'm glad I'm not a celebrity or in politics. My ex won't be airing our dirty laundry to the world. I'm not saying she shouldn't be able to write a book about addiction, but the timing is very suspicious.
I think the same thing. I question the timing and I think shes not the courageous woman some seem to think she is. Shes helping to tank her father-inlaws presidency. This little hesitant speech is quite telling. Her agenda is revenge and money. I'd live to know who's egging her on
As sad as it is this is a typical American family with typical problems. There's a lot of addiction in my family so I know for a fact the pain this whole family was going through especially since I lost my son.
Please pardon my typos in my first comment. I tried to correct them in an edit but it wouldn't go through. Thank you and all the best to all of you and your family and friends.
This is what baffles me. Who doesn't know about divorce, drinking, and drugs? I am seeing comments, though, saying she is trying to clear herself from any legal responsibility.
And then he goes on to marry his dead brothers wife. Impregnates her same time as a stripper (a child he refused to acknowledge). I hope she has gotten herself tested for any sexually transmitted diseases. What a story and all of it true!
Drugs and alcohol just lower the ability to withstand whats already within us humans ability to do. We naturally have these feelings, emotions and desires that only our morality , self awareness and integrity can maintain in order to resist the urge to act upon. But as time goes by and life throws us into some deep pits of tragedy, loss, illness and broken trust we seek out the instant gratification when the load gets too heavy and we can't see or hear what the truth is anymore. When we find out that the person or people that we trusted have really been lying , cheating and neglecting you together as a group yet were trying to convince you that you were losing it and imagining things, well then turning to drugs and alcohol is basically a coping tool that can be bought on any street and at any time night . People can feel deceit before its even mentioned.
Get it right in her self and weighting it out, put a line underneath it. To then go through colon cancer. Praise to her. More things to worry about, is so true. Bless you k. X
Almost all families deal with loved ones who are addicts. While addicts wrestle with their own demons, families need to seek help to ensure that they minimize the negative impact on their lives. My father was a compulsive gambler. I won’t even buy a lottery ticket.
I know her pain of dealing with a husband who has an addiction, my husband tore our lives apart with his addiction. He got over it once before had gotten his life together, was a hard worker and became a man I was proud of, loved and married, he treated me like GOLD! We were so happy and seemed like we’d never be apart, but he relapsed right when the pandemic started and didn’t come home 14 times over a 3 month period. I was DONE after strike three. He went to rehab and returned home like nothing happened…😳…I was traumatized, stressed to the point I developed alopecia and all of my hair started falling out. I could no longer trust him, and didn’t feel comfortable around him anymore. I’m doing much better and my hair is growing back. The hurt never goes away and it’s hard to imagine finding love again, but I’ll choose loneliness before I take him back. I have PEACE and am so grateful I survived such a horrible experience with my sanity still in tact.
i don't think you understand everything hunter has done..might wanna look into it as the news isnt telling you a third of it. underage girls drugs money laundering...and thats the start.
@@timar6868 I don’t know it all, but just having your husband not coming AT ALL for ANY reason is traumatizing. I’ve heard about his issues, and clearly he’s a big problem.
GODHAM ..He annihilated her poor ❤️ and not to mention his kids.. This is about as deeply hurt as I have seen anyone portray through such profound traumatized body language. She's gonna need a lot of work but she can do it!
Kathleen: Addiction is pervasive and affects everyone who is surrounded by the addict. Addiction completely shattered my family to smithereens. I am in sober recovery over 40 years and did not attend either parents funeral ( I had my own service for each one privately) and my sister is so deep into her addiction that there has been no contact for decades. I do not feel it necessary to profit from my life’s history and there is no amount of money or profit that will heal my wounds. I hope you can forgive your former husband as well as yourself for the ordeal you felt compelled to live in. Forgiveness trumps anger, rage, bitterness and blaming. Good luck to you ..you have plenty of work to do on yourself ….your marriage did not happen in a vacuum.
Absolutely not. She does not have to forgive him. She does however need to make peace with it in her own mind so that she can go on to have a happy life. Don’t forget, somethings are unforgivable. I’m not saying that this is unforgivable, it’s up to her whether or not she wants to. It’s not something she has to do.
Wonder how its affected Potato Joe. Hes a mental patient over all this crap. But the democrats will play it for everything they can and get as much sympathy as possible. Pathetic.
@@georgewagner7787 per the definition, "forgive" implies stopping one's feelings of anger and resentment. that may or may not be possible and stuffing feelings down is very unhealthy. forgiveness by definition brings the offending party into the equation. that is why I do not use the term "forgiveness" in such situations. I prefer an approach that involves only the self and treating one's self well.
I respectfully get it and understand telling your story and speaking your truth. But these people writing these memoirs and books to me seem and feel exploitive. Not saying that, Hunter Biden is a saint, but all this airing out dirty laundry and your business in order for the Best Sellers list is just once again, pretty low. What about the children who will see and read these things does it matter how they feel? I wish Kathleen the best, I personally have no interest in these types of books or situations everyone has their own problems and issues I do to. I lastly lost my beloved dad to an overdose tragically and could never imagine someone or myself writing a book to make profit off of the misery and suffering let alone exploiting other family members.😑
Yes, he has since cleaned up and lives a different life so why drag him through the mud. It just appears these people can't move on and they have to open up that old can of worms. I wish them all the best but...move on.
I trully beleive none of that family has a conscience or feel ANY kind of remorse or dismay They have lived like royalty for soooooo long that they are disconnected from OUR REALITY
I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to take care of wonderful children thru emergency care because of drug addiction These children have to be removed I have seen this thru a prism that many have not The drug crisis that continues to get worse is a VERY sad thing to watch For the children I believe this will affect them always because of the separation The baby only knew me and my family myself as the mother he went home at 1 1/2 years old The first two children were with me a year The last two were with me less time I hear these parents are using drugs again It breaks my heart The foster care system is so overrun they don't know what to do If you have the heart for a child please help This drug crisis has affected so many lives Please if you have the heart please help I will soon be 70 and I feel like it is something I can no longer continue to do I feel like I'm abandoning these lost children By no fault of their own they are lost. 👐🏼 👐🏽 👐🏿
I’m sorry about her health. But she knew what was going on. Why else would she “Bury her head in the sand?” With as deep as the Biden crime family goes, she had to know something. Btw…What on earth is she wearing?
