This is really beautiful, a woman caring for her ex husband after a tragic accident is very noble. I don't know anyone who would be able to do that. These two are absolute angels and it's wonderful to see how two people are willing to go this far to care for Brandon

@Rob774 Месяц назад

Methinks people are so caught up in the happy "glo" feeling... that they skip over the fact that she divorced her ex, just to make babies with the new one. Then circles back to care for the ex, so he gets to see the children that he himself couldn't conceive with her. That must be torture from his perspecrive.

@gladysgarcia1232 2 месяца назад

@sjbenson5618 2 месяца назад

I can’t believe this new husband. Why is he accepting this weird situation? He think it’s me or your ex husband! I’m not gonna live with your ex with my children around, But this new husband is rare and incredible

@mischa6688 2 месяца назад

I feel like situations like this should not be “glorified.” It is kind yes, but it is in my opinion, horrible for Brandon. I wish she just let him be taken cared of by other family members rather than maybe, easing her guilt of giving up on him and choosing her happiness with another man. I am not judging though since this is a tough call, but yeah, it feels like a pity/conscience party so she won’t feel bad for leaving him behind after becoming vegetative. And Brandon still remembers her as his wife, sometimes we assume things like he is happy that she is taking care of him just to fit our narrative that it is the best for him, when he doesn’t have any choice and mental capacity to choose or anything.

@mmjkk 2 месяца назад

Do you not think if he had other family who were ready and able to take care of him that she would let them? She loves Brandon, but he’s essentially gone. He physically isn’t in the house because he’s in a nursing home. But she’s doing her best to not abandon him in sickness (as they probably vowed to do) while still recognising that they cannot have a normal marriage now. I would like to think that Brandon loves the fact that he still gets to be around her even though he can’t enjoy the marriage they thought they’d have. Definitely better than never seeing her again.

@Rob774 Месяц назад

@@mmjkkthis scenario is worse! Now he gets to see her with her new family, and the new man who she made babies with because he could no longer perform. This is unimaginable cruelty. Do she close the door when her and her husband have a 'nooner' or do they let him listen in?🙄

@dolbra4 2 месяца назад

What were the grounds for divorce here? She didn't remember the vows, "through sickness and in health"... She should take care of him, yes. But she should have stayed married to him.

@arieslady021 2 месяца назад

@tyronzasmith3735 2 месяца назад

She was young, you have to give her some grace.

@cosettel9290 2 месяца назад

Yeah I was thinking the same thing and struggling with this one. I don’t doubt it was difficult for her and she was young and all that, but she took a vow. I’m more inspired of the story that inspired the movie 50 first dates. The husband stayed with his wife, who had severe brain trauma, even though she kept forgetting who he was and everything every 2 hours or something like that.

@allegrap1054 2 месяца назад

I was looking for this comment

@joejohnsonenterprisesllc9184 Месяц назад

I don’t get this one. In my mind and how marriage is supposed to go, she was SUPPOSED to stay with him instead of divorcing him. The vows were just thrown out the window just so SHE could live the life, SHE wanted. I bet Brandon is going through hell inside. There is NO MAN I know that would approve of his wife being with another man and it being thrown in his face, regardless of his mental or physical condition. The sad part for Brandon is, there was no grounds for divorce because what she is doing now, is what she was SUPPOSED to do as his WIFE. This should have instead been a story like the movie “The Notebook” 🤷🏽‍♂️

@cornyconnie. Месяц назад

He looks so sad in the "family" Christmas photo (taken solely for the purpose of "renewing guardianship) Man, how would SHE feel if the roles were reversed!?! This is sad!!! Poor guy! 😔

@allegrap1054 2 месяца назад

Imagine if this was a man that had done this with his wife. I wonder if it would be viewed as positively?

@JohnSmith-wi4xo 2 месяца назад

I guess I don’t understand the point of divorcing only to then become his guardian immediately after. Is she using him now for the money she receives being his guardian, and then the social security she’ll get when he dies? Where are his parents? Even if he can’t recall her being his former wife, isn’t it strange to her to have her ex often around her current husband? Where are his parents? This just feels so fishy to me, I don’t know.

@Feed_the_Kitty_a_Hotdog 2 месяца назад

If he’s a nursing home patient all his SSI goes to the NH, and the residents can only keep less then $120 of it a month, and she wouldn’t be receiving SSI after his death because those kids aren’t his and they weren’t married long enough to even apply for ex benefits either. She divorced him because she wanted to have children and a husband because he obviously cannot consent to any of that with his TBI being that severe and needing a FT caregiver. Not everyone can handle being a guardian to someone that severely impaired. Often times states give someone with no family members willing to do it state appointed guardians.

@KrolockTepes 2 месяца назад

As already said, she's not getting any of his money.

@mischa6688 2 месяца назад

I am one of the few who actually find their setup weird and I’ve already commented in one of the posts.Yes, this gesture may seem kind but his ex-husband’s long-term memory is intact so in reality, he remembers her and possibly remembers they were married and to he might look like he is in a vegetative state but I feel for him emotionally and psychologically, to see your wife being with somebody else because she wanted kids and you cannot give her that anymore. I am not judging though but if I were Brandon, I’d prefer to be taken cared of by anyone but my ex-wife and his husband. Maybe she took him to be his guardian to ease some of her guilt of giving up on him and choosing her own happiness.

@kathycrone1258 2 месяца назад

Yes, each negative remark is being judgemental. 😢 When your not in her circumstances easy to remark.

@Rob774 Месяц назад

@@kathycrone1258And we can easily say ever overly positive remark screams of naivety. This video is made to cast.her as this glowing hero who made the ultimate sacrifice by dumping her husband who because no fault of his own got messed up. But... she wanted a family, so her desires trumped his. Its her guilt that made her circle back and take care of him.

That money with the care of sick people throughout life Many people would choose to live their own life. It is normal to receive money. But must admit that the mind of both is really unique. How many people will do this? When Brandon had an accident, he was young And he had no one in life.
