An incredibly bitter and broken women. She has allowed her toxicity to leak onto her daughters, and that toxicity affects how they interact with their relationships with significant others and within their own sisterhood. I personally feel like she resented Traci for still having a relationship with her father and even developing a rapport with her father’s mistress/wife, Miss Wanda. Her daughters mirrored that resentment towards Traci and they all treated her like “the ugly red headed stepchild”.
That first love will do it to you. They old school too. My Aunt married her husband at 19 and just died last year at 75. She had alzheimers and I remember her telling me that she should've left my uncle in her 30s because he cheated so damn much. They had 6 kids too. Old school women are built differently. They stay for the kids, took care of the home, kept their pain a secret. My aunt never got that true love she needed and I hope Ms.Evelyn finds her. She's worth it.
iCoCoMe He was her first love, but she was not his. Only married her because she got pregnant. Back then , that was the right thing to do. That is why, 99% of the men, CHEATED. They were not in love or HAPPY.
The sisters should not plan a family vacation with both of their divorced parents! They're not 5 year olds! They're like in their 40s and 50s cmon now..... they're mother doesn't ever have to see that man again if she doesn't want too they're not 10 years old.
Adrian James . i totally agree with you. They are trying to make their parents remain together regardless if he is unhappy and their children are grown. No one is telling their grown children how to live. smh
Adrian James True..There's a part of them trying to recapture memories of good times they had as a family. They all have children now and are grown but you can tell that they want their parents to get along. I don't know of inviting their dad knowing he's remarried to someone else and telling him not to bring his wife is a good idea. I don't know if inviting knowing how their mom feels is a good idea. Their mom tolerates his occasional presence but you can tell she's still hurt and not that comfortable around him..
This is a reminder that our behaviors do impact other people. We live in a society where everyone wants to just do whatever thinking it has no consequences. Every action has consequences. After all these years, this family is still a mess behind this. I do hope they will all eventually heal.
We live in a society that has lost its moral bearings. Simply because there is a shortage of Black men, it does not give us women license to go around and break up other people's homes. I know for certain that such adulterous actions can cost you years of unhappiness and an inability to find love because you broke up someone else's family. This karma can follow you for decades or even a life time. It can even follow your children's lives. All because you broke up someone's marriage. We as a people need to return to our roots. We need to follow the 42 Laws of Maat, which our ancestors placed in papyrus as a guide for us to live a righteous life. Karma is a hell of a drug!
Evelyn doesn't have to deal with him and his new wife. it doesn't mean she's not over him! she's entitled to NOT WANNA BE BOTHERED WITH A man who wasn't so MAN enough to just get an divorce instead of cheating. so y'all can really just shut up
Just because Michael Braxton, Sr. moved on & re-married, it appears Evelyn Braxton tolerates him for the sake of their girls - which may NOT include the present wife. People handle pain & grief differently & being that he was her EVERYTHING, she may not get over the full impact of how deeply he hurt her 100%. Time heals some wounds but life moves on. No one can truly understand the deep pain she endured (the shame, the embarrassment, the church, a blow to her self-esteem, etc.) knowing the man she committed herself to was gone (and never coming back). I know this from experience as it took 10 years to get past the shame & hurt HE caused me. I'm in a MUCH better place, but I certainly choose NOT to engage in conversation with him at ALL cost. You can forgive, but you NEVER forget. 5/13/17 @ 5:45P CST.
If you really love someone and then next thing you know you are divorcing. Its painful especially being married for so many years. But the beauty of it all is finding that inner peace. Once you have found that inner peace folks dont understand why you're calm and you just been through the hurricane of life........INNER PEACE@
This is why a WOMAN should NEVER EVER put their faith in MAN. "Braxton was my life." That right there is the mistake of most women. GOD should be YOUR LIFE, so that if and when your man cheats, you can forgive, move on and be happy and never think about that cheater again because you are to happy to think about the cheater. Evelyn has not forgiven this fool and therefore it shows on her face that she is still hurt and angry while he has moved on to marry one of his "side-pieces" and not thinking about Evelyn. Braxton is not worth her angry and un-healed heart. She is a life coach? Well she may need to "life-coach" herself and her heart . . . get rid of the anger and be a role model for her daughters. This dysfunction hd rippled down to the daughters. You can see, how many are married and how many are not? And look how much nonsense they dealt with during their marriages before they finally decided to divorce and move on. Their husbands disrespected them just like their father disrespected their mother. A "man" is only going to do what a woman allows that man to do. That is a true statement.
Boss LadyLaLa Your god is not someone you can see and touch. Evelyn was not wrong to love her husband completely and utterly. His evil doing is not her fault.
No No. Please do not think that I am saying that. I am sure that Evelyn was a good wife and mother and loved her husband. And he took advantage of her youth. She actually reminds me of my mother and my father who was sure enough a low-down cheating Braxton-type. What I am saying is, no man should be your life. Love him. Be a good wife. But at the end of the day, GOD should be your #1 priority. And when women make a man their #1 priority that is when they get hurt and can't seem to get over it. Evelyn is still very bitter and angry . . . rightfully so. Braxton was no good. But for her own sake of happiness in her heart, she needs to get over the anger. She still reflects on what he did to her and I am not down-playing her pain but for her own sake, she needs to move on and just remember that he is someone else's problem now.
You are very correct. I had to reflect on my grandmother's marriage to my grandfather. And my mother and father being married. It is true . . . women were taught to stick with their husbands no matter what, even if they cheat. Don't talk about it and just let it be. (By the way, I recently watched the movie Fences with Denzel and Viola Davis). I had to think about the time that Ms. E (and my mother) lived in. I just want Ms. E to move on and be open to finding the love of her life.
This is why he should NOT be on their tv show. Why is he benefitting from their fame. Its one thing to forgive him, but that's where it should end. This is continually being thrown up into Miss Evelyn's face as well. I'd tell the producers to shove it ( they probably suggested it anyway, for ratings)
What Tamar Braxton need to be doing is writing a song about her daddy layin low and spreadin it w i d e. Now that's a hit song thanks to Ms. E. No copyright infringement intended.
Not always. Marriages back then lasted because people stuck it out. Not like now though. People go into the marriage with the attitude of if they don't like it then they can Keats get divorced.
I agree with you Lady J.Evelyn's young life was ruined.She endured a lot to try an keep up appearances.Times were different back then.So much shame was put on a young woman for being pregnant&unwed.Young men were also put in positions that they weren't ready for.Being a father&husband are two very big roles.A lot of women suffered for the better good.Rather than pressure&shame young people when they make choices they aren't ready for parents have to be understanding&supportive.A lifetime of hurt&anger they could've just been parents instead of husband & wife.
Very sad situation. Good for Mrs. Braxton for being a successful woman in spite of her husband's choice to not be a faithful family man. Shame on the women who settled for a low self esteem and low worth. I believe she has moved on but with caution, who wants to repeat history? Just because she have no desire to be around Mr. Braxton and his mistress, doesn't mean she isn't over him. She must have been asked to address or share this information for the show, that is why it is being talked about. Thanks for posting this video. My heart goes out to all the women/men and families who didn't have to go through this but because of someone's selfish choice, they did. This happens to men too, we just don't hear much about it.
I’m a million years late but I surly was waiting on her to tell the secrets.. that lets go deep took me back to where she started. Evelyn married a 304. But I’m about to start watching the show 😂 i guess I’ll find out why everyone hates Ms. E
Tina Knowles.. left her husband after he had another baby, Beyonce and solange was very grown and very successful!! Tina got remarried and ain't thinking about her ex lol
The word minister is not equivalent to actual righteousness and holinessness. Braxton's behavior as a church pastor is still happening today, especially in small town churches.
Damn Pappa Braxton only married her because she was pregnant! He didn't love her, because he was stuck with her. So many Christians make this horrible mistake and regret it years later.
Mr. Braxton was a Christian? I guess you are right because many so call Christians do the same thing. Throw the rock and attempt to hide their hand until they get caught! Christian Churches are full of them from the pulpit to the deacon board, to the congregation!
I TRULY UNDERSTAND ABOUT HOW DIVORCE CAN BE VERY PAINFUL.... GOD SAID IF I FORGIVE YOU THEN YOU CAN FORGIVE OTHERS.... SO HOW CAN YOU COUNSEL SOMEONE WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN FORGIVE.... LET IT GO EVELYN.... PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT ON IN THAT HOUSEHOLD.... ONLY THEM & GOD.... BUT GIRLS YOU HAVE BOTH YOUR PARENTS SO PLEASE ENJOY THERE PRESENTS WHILE YOU CAN AND LET THAT OTHER STUFF GO.... EVELYN PLEASE TRY TO LET THAT ANGER, HATE, PAIN, HURT GO BECAUSE IT WILL EAT YOU UP JUST LIKE CANCER.... DON'T LET THAT SPREAD THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.... LET IT GO PLEASE!
Michael is soooooo disrespectful. To his Daughters. Of course I Believe That Ms. E has forgiven him. But As a Woman. I wouldn't want to be on vacation with My Ex & his side chick. No Matter What. I feel as if Ms. E is sharing her own story to help other ppl.💝💝💝
Evelyn like eveyone one of us has had her share of skeletons, demons and her on cross to carry/bare. At the end of the day...ALL FALLEN SHORT!!!!! Nonetheless, I cast no stones for the fear of GOD, that large rocks will be thrown back at me. Evelyn appears to be a lady who did her best in raising her children. She made mistakes like every other mother, now moving on to do/be her best self. Evelyn, you have my blessings!!!!!!
I feel so sad for Miss Evelyn but I pray to God that he heals our heart but God has moved her in many places the first shall be last and the last shall be first I give God the honor pray because he still blessing her in her life she's beautiful she successful and she's a strong-willed mine woman God bless you thank you for the video
THIS JUST PROVES NO MATTER HOW GOOD WE BLACK WOMEN ARE THAT BLACK MAN ALOT AINT SHIT USE ABUSE CHEAT & BLAME US FOR EVERYTHING EVELYN YOU ARE A GREAT BLACK WOMEN& A GOOD MOTHER HES THE ONE WITH THE ISSUES NOT U 💗
I dont think it's cool for her to sit around telling her marital business to her daughters and they talk about it all the time. It's really necessary to tell them the details of the counseling sessions and that he was with other women in their bed? Talk to a friend, a counselor, a pastor, but your daughters? This is why they can't move on from it, constantly rehashing it and constantly finding out a new layer of yuck. Warn your daughters about how some men can be yes but all of this other stuff is just too much. It was a long time ago and they're acting like it all happened yesterday!
ceceoo3 I understand what you're saying BUT these are not "children" she's talking to. I mean, they ACT like children, but all in all they ARE adults! I dont see a problem with it. My sister knows almost every detail of my mother and her fathers marriage but that didnt make her treat her father nor my mother any differently. I just think the braxton sisters are very immature and have a lot of growing up to do honestly. Tamar in particular.
TheJasminep88 Your right, if they were young children or teens it wouldn't be good to share that with them. But like you said they are adults going through their own relationship struggles and problems as adults nothing gets sugar coated anymore you see how life really is and you see people for what they are and what they do so nothing is wrong with her telling them about it. They are adults and they know what's what.
What do anyone expect from a Male child that has not matured? Both of them young, still finding their way. Married, parents no time to get to know themselves, or the roles they are playing in the home and away from home. Titles do not make you, maturity makes you! To many times we move on feel good, look good emotions, that is destructive. As you see with the BRAXTON FAMILY, those ego Demons had a hold on in their demise of their relationship. Children do not keep husband and wife together! Continually having children in s Dysfunctional home sets problems amongst the children.
Their first mistake was getting married at 18, second mistake was him marrying her because she was pregnant. Third mistake was him staying too long after he knew they shouldn't have been together. Religion and church folks causes people to live secret lives and not accept the truth. Pressure from church folks teaches you to stay in a marriage that never should've been in the first place. Evelyn needs to accept the fact that they never should've gotten married and accept her part. She got pregnant at 18 and in sure her father pushed them to get married to try and cover up the pregnancy. Braxton should've stood his ground and said no to the shotgun wedding. Just a big mess!
Danielle Silas It wasn't uncommon for women to get married at a young age back then. It was the norm.. to get married and have children, especially if you were pregnant. I'm not saying it was always under the best circumstances but it was pretty commonplace because the mindset was different. She's from that " stand by your man no matter what" generation of women,wives,and mothers. Publicly the women would maintain the appearance of being a happy family and close knit unit but the reality behind closed doors or out of the public eye was much different. They were both young and he was her first everything. Women back then were mostly encouraged to stay in the marriage and turn a blind eye to the cheating. She eventually realized her own worth and parted ways with him. You can tell that there's still so much hurt and anger about what he did to her,and their family.
At some point, she knew he was cheating. As a woman, you just have those feelings an intuition. If he constantly bringing a female co-worker around that is suspicious. No she kept getting pregnant in hopes he would choose her in the end. Black women are strong and can handle things but most will address their man if he is not doing right. With that being said, if Mr. Braxton had a whole other life with a woman, he had to be absent in theirs at some point. And with 6 kids you never had a problem with him coming home late or him helping with the kids. I'm not condoning his cheating ass because what he did was completely wrong and the other woman could have let him go. I just think Ms. Braxton need to forgive because it's clear she hasn't because she hasn't dated or remarried. She doesn't want Mr. Braxton and his new wife in her "space" even at the cost of her children not seeing their father. It is keeping anger in her heart while pressuring her children to leave their father alone. If she would find a new true Christian man she wouldn't be worried about her ex because she would be happy again. She would be saying I thank him for giving me these beautiful children who are doing great in life to a point.
They got the wake up call on papa he was exposed for real. He was a hypocrite living a double life. Take no owner ship for his messiness He should have been crying more than anyone . God bless Ms Evelyn she is a OG. Talk bout he never loved her when did you figure that out after how many babies Sir
cpatterson22 right this isn't the first time this woman's name and the story of infidelity came up. we're just getting more to the story. remember season 1 or 2 when Ms. E confronted the dad and accused him of "layin it low and spreadin it wide." I'm sorry but that was something to hear right there. Tamar is very close to her dad and so is Tracy. Tracy actually said she keeps in touch with the dad and his wife, including visits. I'm good don't ask me to do it cause I'm not. Sorry!
HELANNA DEAR I was saying they made it seem like they never interacted with the wife (besides Traci) before, so how does Logan know who she is and by name
Way to put all preachers in a little black box.... My father is a preacher and is cut totally from a different cloth. His walk with the Lord is real and he would never hurt the Lord by breaking his vows to him or my mother. They have been together for 40 Years. They have had their troubles of course but what marriage hasn't. Where there are many black preachers as you call it, I say black men but yes, there are a lot of men who cheat, there are still good men out there who love the Lord and honor their walk and commitment to him and their wives... Don't lump all black men/ men into one box they are not all the same.
Rhonda Collins True that's the problem they look at the man and not the man Jesus when will people learn you don't go to church for man you go to seek Jesus
skinnygyrl 37 Peep she said "typical black preacher". If this is not your father, that just means that he is an exception. However, a very large proportion of black preachers are pimps, players, and thieves.
Ms. E is going to have to forgive Braxton. She has yet to do that. I'm sure it's hard but it's the only way she can free up that bitterness that she has.
Anisha Renee She say she has and I can believe she has. I don't blame her for not wanting to be around her ex-husband and around an old friend who be stabbed her in the back. One can forgive someone but not be around them.
Anisha Renee Yes..she said she has forgiven him but that doesn't mean you should be buddy buddy...and be in each others lives like what he did was nothing to be devastated over.
Myss_Qwe_Tue_Yue Israel She stayed all those years knowing that he was cheating. As women we set the standard for how we're treated by what we tolerate. She's mad that he cheated but infuriated that he actually had the nerve to fall in love with one of the women he cheated with. That's where much of her anger stems from...It wasn't just the physical act but fact that this other woman had his heart at some point. Evelyn Braxton and him were childhood sweethearts. They were young when they got together and she was in love and expected it to last forever. He probably was in love with her at one time also..Sometimes things change. I'm not excusing his deplorable actions but its been a long time..Forgiveness and closure is what gives a person the true emotional and mental freedom that they seek. Being bitter blocks blessings and even future love from finding you.
719kai719 She said, "I knew men cheated, but I didn't think Michael was." I have to give her the benefit of doubt about, "Knowing" he was cheating and strictly because 'HE IS/WAS A PASTOR'. I don't think her, "Anger" comes in from not one reason you stated, but for the 'FACT WANDA AND MS. E WERE FRIENDS. If Ms.E was that womam you're making her out to be then, 'SHE WOULD NOT HAVE LEFT', and Braxton would have been married to Ms. E still. He wanted his cake and eat it too and she wasn't having it childhood love and all.
I am trying to figure out why these grown women need to go on vacation with their parents. They act like they are kids. Grow up let your mom deal with your father when she wants to. If they want to hear his side why bring his wife talk to him alone.
Braxton is wrong on more levels than one (and I am not only talking about infidelities), but how he demands respect from his children just because he's their father. He is a selfish man and only considers his own feelings and in a lot of way that mentality reminds me of my own dad.
your mother's favorite. Although my dad is deceased and I fully understand the point of forgiveness before its too late (I am thankful for the opportunity to forgive my father before he died). I couldn't help but see my dad in Mr. Braxton's actions as far as the, "Respect me because I am your father and you don't give me an ultimatum" mentality, and then to justify his actions by, "I'm a man" took the cake (talking about Thursday's episode).
It's bringing up Evelyns past nightmares and feelings and its just shitty of the girls! SHIT Mama needs a serious man for a date and poor woman's gonna need a long vacation from this shitshow vacation these girls brought her on#SHAME ON BRAXTON
Nicole Castillo I don't understand. In general, the girls seem to care little for their mom when she is the one who stood by them. Ms. E was hurt to her soul that the girls are bringing Wanda in as part of the show now. They are killing off their mother's character all because their father is "fun" and Ms. E is not. She is fair and strict. If that Wanda scrunch face is now a part of the show, then I'm thru watching the Braxton Family Values. The ratings will go down with Wanda on there cuz most viwers love Ms. E.
There honor to there mother is all right...Never tell someone to dishonor there parents...God says in his "Ten Commandments" to honor your mother and father a commandment is an order from The Most High God.
if their mother are there supposed to be loyal to her, whether or not she's made the best decisions times were much different back then. I know I will always be loyal to my mother regardless of any mistakes she may have made raising her children we're all human and make mistakes no mother or father is perfect
I guess they have that old crotched ass man on the show for ratings, but those girls need to grow up cuz that man abandoned them for 8 yrs. Every show needs a villain. That side piece he got now can't be no good cuz she got involved with a married man with 6 children. Oh the karma there. The show is demoralizing with Braxton on it. It teaches men the prosperity in mistreating women. Now he is bringing his crunched up face side piece on the show to finish destroying Evelyn. This might just send her over the edge. She is a good and very strong woman, but...She gave him her life and she is alone all of these years and will probably never find anyone. Braxton is nothing but an evil demon and not a good one. I hope that the trap that he is setting up for Evelyn, he falls into it instead. The girls need to consider their mother's health and stop risking it for ratings.
Shirley Queen Emotional health is equally important to face and handle. I am so glad the Braxtons are publically addressing this situation for their true inner healings of their feelings. They're also helping countless others to deeply heal.
It seems to me that Ms. Evelyn wants, and is moving on, but her daughters keep trying to bring them together for family occasions, and they're forgetting the fact that both parents have new lives, (the father is remarried) moving in different directions. He can have a relationship with the daughters, separate from their Mom, but it seems like the daughters don't want to face the fact that the family unit between the Mom and Dad is broken. I believe the daughters can have a relationship with their Dad and his "new wife" if they choose to
LORD REBUKE THOSE WHO WANT A POSITION IN GOD'S CHURCH/BODY AND DONT FEAR THE LORD! THIS SLOPPY HYPOCRISY IS MAKING CHRISTIANITY LOOK A MESS.. NOT GOD. THE LORD GOD IS HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS THE PERFECT JUDGE.. FEAR HIM!
I feel he really hurt her an that hurt cut her deep ,never put any man before ""GOD"" he had the power to walk away , keep his zipper closed but mother braxton has to let it go you will not forget but you have to forgive to be forgiven life is much to short to be walking around mad because someone did this our that to you in your past you better live your life an make the best of it because we have no ideal when GOD will pull our time card !!!!!🌹🌹🌹⏰❤☺
Debra Thompson It's like that song says-you can run on for a long time run on for a long time run on for a long time, but sooner or later God will cut you down.
I understand that things like this can be devastating BUT it's been 15 or 16 years since he cheated and married the mistress... When will the healing begin... How miserable one must be to stay stuck in the past
He's THEIR father, he doesn't need THEIR approval... He cheated on Evelyn NOT his kids... His ability to be an amazing father had nothing to do with his infidelity to his wife... But as they said, they cut him off after the affair , because they felt that this other woman was the problem. I don't condone cheating, I think it wrong, but they've missed out on their father for 16 years because of it. A girl needs her daddy, it doesn't matter how old we get ❤
Lutrish Moten EB needs something as powerful as what her daughters got at that dinner in Mexico. Her daughters started strongly healing that night -- not during those empty 16 yrs B4 then.
Actually, he DID cheat on his wife as well as the children. He betrayed the whole family when he took up with these women and left and got married. His actions didn't just hurt Evelyn, it tore the nuclear family apart.
It's always the ones preaching the gospel that have the most b.s going on eternally! This is why I dont and WONT praise most of these bible thumbing Christians because they preach about forgiving and can't do it themselves. Ms Evelyn needs Ms Iyanla to fix her life because she definitely needs healing! P.S: Idk how Papa Braxton was getting all these women back in the day because he looked horrible back then! (My opinion)
TheJasminep88 Weellllll one could look at it that way. I think it's more they're used more by God as preachers and such but the devil is coming at them just as hard for the very same reason. A regular Christian with not as much responsibility may not have as many struggles and vices as someone in leadership. Does that make it ok to cheat or whatever? Of course not, but take a walk in a leader's shoes and you may be able to understand. To much is given, much is required... And also, just because leaders fall short gives ppl no excuse to not do what they are supposed to do or be obedient to God's Word.
TheJasminep88 Agree with you 💯!! It's not so much about how fine he is, but the power he has. She was looking for her come up. He's the worst type, narcissistic and selfish. Mrs. E. did the best, that she could have done. Her healing is also getting better each year. She's doing and is going to be alright! Them other 2 jackasses, they have never looked happy together to me. Oh well......they just need to stay miserable, all by themselves. She needs to continue to stay away from them Devil Seeds!!! Misery loves company! She could come to a BBQ or something like that but, I'm flying almost 8hrs., and my Mom was there first, she wouldn't be there! And no way, is she flying back all by herself. Daddy needs to and would get over himself. Toni was stupid for that move. Mama always #1, over cheating daddy!
In my opinion .... Most (all... lol) Christian's do live double lives .... they really think that the Title as christian gives them passes to sin long as they repent .... people with religious titles are the exact same as what they call sinner's .... no one is safe when we're all here together fighting temptations and everything else that comes with the realities of life ....
Think what really starts things like this is getting married too young.... never being able to have that "young wild and free" lol single life... to find yourself and get to know whats out there... so all of those urges and confusion builds up and spills into a marriage.....
Antoinette Jolie - Madame Sade the reason why people marriages lasted for so long back then is because the women didn't know anything about the Workforce, the man was the breadwinner while the woman stayed home with the children, that's why A LOT of them put up with physical, mental, emotional and sexual abuse, now n days women are also the Breadwinners so they no longer have to put up with the BS, thats why the divorce rate is so high now versus back then.
***** you must have never been married before or for not that long atleast lol.. we all know life is never that simple or stright forward... And "personal evolution" can mean anything... Like what if your husband/wife "evolves" to being gay? You cant fix something like that... Not everyone is meant to "grow with you".... Sometimes your path is to move on...
Maybe this is why she was so reluctant to Iyanla, one life coach cannot cope with another coaching then on their lives. It’s easy to see what Iyanla has said about their family dynamic. Probably just really hard to accept.
For Evelyn to help others through their issues. It seems she needs help with some of her own. She left him and it's been 15 years. At some point you have to let go and let God.
If he didnt want to marry her he should not have, but again back then. Anyway why stay with her then mess around with the other women those many years.
She is still PISSED THE HELL OFF... GOING PAST DECADES NOW, She will always be bitter if she does not let that past go... Got dam Ms E.. Although this is no exposed situation she needs to show her DAUGHTERS BETTER
Keep Michael and Wanda out of your life Evelyn. That is strange how they keep coming around you, they already infiltrated and now like they want to finish something. Hmmmm......
Evelyn is the root of the family drama! How is she counseling on healing and she hasn't healed herself
Mrs. Evelyn is a lady of class. Gorgeous, smart, lovely, all the positive adjectives in the dictionary describes this woman.
charli YES & A BLACK MAN OF COURSE TORE HER DOWN THATS HOW IT USUALLY GOES
RED SUNSHINE Enough of the CAPS everywhere.
An incredibly bitter and broken women. She has allowed her toxicity to leak onto her daughters, and that toxicity affects how they interact with their relationships with significant others and within their own sisterhood.
I personally feel like she resented Traci for still having a relationship with her father and even developing a rapport with her father’s mistress/wife, Miss Wanda. Her daughters mirrored that resentment towards Traci and they all treated her like “the ugly red headed stepchild”.
That first love will do it to you. They old school too. My Aunt married her husband at 19 and just died last year at 75. She had alzheimers and I remember her telling me that she should've left my uncle in her 30s because he cheated so damn much. They had 6 kids too. Old school women are built differently. They stay for the kids, took care of the home, kept their pain a secret. My aunt never got that true love she needed and I hope Ms.Evelyn finds her. She's worth it.
iCoCoMe He was her first love, but she was not his. Only married her because she got pregnant. Back then , that was the right thing to do. That is why, 99% of the men, CHEATED. They were not in love or HAPPY.
Lady J Some of them were just no good and greedy...They couldn't be happy with one woman no matter how good she was.
Gosh, sounds so familiar.
The sisters should not plan a family vacation with both of their divorced parents! They're not 5 year olds! They're like in their 40s and 50s cmon now..... they're mother doesn't ever have to see that man again if she doesn't want too they're not 10 years old.
Adrian James . i totally agree with you. They are trying to make their parents remain together regardless if he is unhappy and their children are grown. No one is telling their grown children how to live. smh
Adrian James True..There's a part of them trying to recapture memories of good times they had as a family. They all have children now and are grown but you can tell that they want their parents to get along. I don't know of inviting their dad knowing he's remarried to someone else and telling him not to bring his wife is a good idea. I don't know if inviting knowing how their mom feels is a good idea. Their mom tolerates his occasional presence but you can tell she's still hurt and not that comfortable around him..
+M Lane I agree
This is a reminder that our behaviors do impact other people. We live in a society where everyone wants to just do whatever thinking it has no consequences. Every action has consequences. After all these years, this family is still a mess behind this. I do hope they will all eventually heal.
We live in a society that has lost its moral bearings. Simply because there is a shortage of Black men, it does not give us women license to go around and break up other people's homes. I know for certain that such adulterous actions can cost you years of unhappiness and an inability to find love because you broke up someone else's family. This karma can follow you for decades or even a life time. It can even follow your children's lives. All because you broke up someone's marriage. We as a people need to return to our roots. We need to follow the 42 Laws of Maat, which our ancestors placed in papyrus as a guide for us to live a righteous life. Karma is a hell of a drug!
Evelyn doesn't have to deal with him and his new wife. it doesn't mean she's not over him! she's entitled to NOT WANNA BE BOTHERED WITH A man who wasn't so MAN enough to just get an divorce instead of cheating. so y'all can really just shut up
Tamia Wells thank you
I cant believe she's a life coach with all these broken daughters
Not uncommon. There are successful people in practice who have broken homes. Preachers have devilish kids. Their life makes for reality tv
😂🤭
She better get like Beyonce momma and move on to better and stop stressing over his no good ass all of these years!
Just because Michael Braxton, Sr. moved on & re-married, it appears Evelyn Braxton tolerates him for the sake of their girls - which may NOT include the present wife.
People handle pain & grief differently & being that he was her EVERYTHING, she may not get over the full impact of how deeply he hurt her 100%.
Time heals some wounds but life moves on. No one can truly understand the deep pain she endured (the shame, the embarrassment, the church, a blow to her self-esteem, etc.) knowing the man she committed herself to was gone (and never coming back).
I know this from experience as it took 10 years to get past the shame & hurt HE caused me.
I'm in a MUCH better place, but I certainly choose NOT to engage in conversation with him at ALL cost. You can forgive, but you NEVER forget.

If you really love someone and then next thing you know you are divorcing. Its painful especially being married for so many years. But the beauty of it all is finding that inner peace. Once you have found that inner peace folks dont understand why you're calm and you just been through the hurricane of life........INNER PEACE@
Jewel Mcneil how do i find this inner peace?
This is why a WOMAN should NEVER EVER put their faith in MAN. "Braxton was my life." That right there is the mistake of most women. GOD should be YOUR LIFE, so that if and when your man cheats, you can forgive, move on and be happy and never think about that cheater again because you are to happy to think about the cheater. Evelyn has not forgiven this fool and therefore it shows on her face that she is still hurt and angry while he has moved on to marry one of his "side-pieces" and not thinking about Evelyn. Braxton is not worth her angry and un-healed heart. She is a life coach? Well she may need to "life-coach" herself and her heart . . . get rid of the anger and be a role model for her daughters. This dysfunction hd rippled down to the daughters. You can see, how many are married and how many are not? And look how much nonsense they dealt with during their marriages before they finally decided to divorce and move on. Their husbands disrespected them just like their father disrespected their mother. A "man" is only going to do what a woman allows that man to do. That is a true statement.
Boss LadyLaLa
Yes, but she wasn't a woman when she married him. He was 15 years old and she was 14. That is hardly a woman...
Boss LadyLaLa Your god is not someone you can see and touch. Evelyn was not wrong to love her husband completely and utterly. His evil doing is not her fault.
No No. Please do not think that I am saying that. I am sure that Evelyn was a good wife and mother and loved her husband. And he took advantage of her youth. She actually reminds me of my mother and my father who was sure enough a low-down cheating Braxton-type. What I am saying is, no man should be your life. Love him. Be a good wife. But at the end of the day, GOD should be your #1 priority. And when women make a man their #1 priority that is when they get hurt and can't seem to get over it. Evelyn is still very bitter and angry . . . rightfully so. Braxton was no good. But for her own sake of happiness in her heart, she needs to get over the anger. She still reflects on what he did to her and I am not down-playing her pain but for her own sake, she needs to move on and just remember that he is someone else's problem now.
+Boss LadyLaLa I agree with what your saying but women in those days were not taught to NOT make their husbands their life, just the opposite.
You are very correct. I had to reflect on my grandmother's marriage to my grandfather. And my mother and father being married. It is true . . . women were taught to stick with their husbands no matter what, even if they cheat. Don't talk about it and just let it be. (By the way, I recently watched the movie Fences with Denzel and Viola Davis). I had to think about the time that Ms. E (and my mother) lived in. I just want Ms. E to move on and be open to finding the love of her life.
This is why he should NOT be on their tv show. Why is he benefitting from their fame. Its one thing to forgive him, but that's where it should end. This is continually being thrown up into Miss Evelyn's face as well. I'd tell the producers to shove it ( they probably suggested it anyway, for ratings)
What Tamar Braxton need to be doing is writing a song about her daddy layin low and spreadin it
w i d e. Now that's a hit song thanks to Ms. E. No copyright infringement intended.

When a man marries you Cause of a pregnancy, that marraige, is over before it starts.
Not always. Marriages back then lasted because people stuck it out. Not like now though. People go into the marriage with the attitude of if they don't like it then they can Keats get divorced.
I agree with you Lady J.Evelyn's young life was ruined.She endured a lot to try an keep up appearances.Times were different back then.So much shame was put on a young woman for being pregnant&unwed.Young men were also put in positions that they weren't ready for.Being a father&husband are two very big roles.A lot of women suffered for the better good.Rather than pressure&shame young people when they make choices they aren't ready for parents have to be understanding&supportive.A lifetime of hurt&anger they could've just been parents instead of husband & wife.
Very sad situation. Good for Mrs. Braxton for being a successful woman in spite of her husband's choice to not be a faithful family man. Shame on the women who settled for a low self esteem and low worth. I believe she has moved on but with caution, who wants to repeat history? Just because she have no desire to be around Mr. Braxton and his mistress, doesn't mean she isn't over him. She must have been asked to address or share this information for the show, that is why it is being talked about. Thanks for posting this video. My heart goes out to all the women/men and families who didn't have to go through this but because of someone's selfish choice, they did. This happens to men too, we just don't hear much about it.
Life is just not fair if you let it control you
You didn't even mention the fact that Miss Evelyn was a Licensed Cosmetologist and did hair for years....
Where the secrets At?? You ain't telling us nothing we don't already know. 👎👎
I’m a million years late but I surly was waiting on her to tell the secrets.. that lets go deep took me back to where she started. Evelyn married a 304. But I’m about to start watching the show 😂 i guess I’ll find out why everyone hates Ms. E
EVENLY DESERVES THE WORLD!!!! NOT ANOTHER WOMAN SITTING IN HER FACE WITH HER HUSBAND. EVENLY IS MORE RIGHTEOUS THEN HER EX-HUSAND.
None of us is Righteous, no not one.. The Most High says this..
Tina Knowles.. left her husband after he had another baby, Beyonce and solange was very grown and very successful!! Tina got remarried and ain't thinking about her ex lol
FreeSpirit Love how tf U know??? Lol
PhillyGirl 1 it's not a secret unless u live under a rock!
FreeSpirit Love But you see she got a replacement. Evelyn can't find one cuz we have a very very very limited pool of our men to chose from.
See Evelyn can coach other's on their life however, when she needs her life coached it's a problem.
My Dentist has a Dentist🌸
Say word. Lol. So true
Thank you for this post. I've always found Evelyn Braxton to be interesting. She is a beautiful woman, and I hope she finds love again.
Me too. But, the chances are extremely slim for a 69 yr old. Heck! 20 yr olds can't find love in the Black community.
Amen!
missninabug But, she is a beauty and I'll continue to send up positive energy for her to find that man who can't live without her.
@Shirley Queen, me too. Sometimes it seems like men are never satisfied, they get a good girl, but she still isn't good enough.
The word minister is not equivalent to actual righteousness and holinessness. Braxton's behavior as a church pastor is still happening today, especially in small town churches.
Damn Pappa Braxton only married her because she was pregnant! He didn't love her, because he was stuck with her. So many Christians make this horrible mistake and regret it years later.
Mr. Braxton was a Christian? I guess you are right because many so call Christians do the same thing. Throw the rock and attempt to hide their hand until they get caught! Christian Churches are full of them from the pulpit to the deacon board, to the congregation!
I TRULY UNDERSTAND ABOUT HOW DIVORCE CAN BE VERY PAINFUL.... GOD SAID IF I FORGIVE YOU THEN YOU CAN FORGIVE OTHERS.... SO HOW CAN YOU COUNSEL SOMEONE WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN FORGIVE.... LET IT GO EVELYN.... PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT ON IN THAT HOUSEHOLD.... ONLY THEM & GOD.... BUT GIRLS YOU HAVE BOTH YOUR PARENTS SO PLEASE ENJOY THERE PRESENTS WHILE YOU CAN AND LET THAT OTHER STUFF GO.... EVELYN PLEASE TRY TO LET THAT ANGER, HATE, PAIN, HURT GO BECAUSE IT WILL EAT YOU UP JUST LIKE CANCER.... DON'T LET THAT SPREAD THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.... LET IT GO PLEASE!
Michael is soooooo disrespectful. To his Daughters. Of course I Believe That Ms. E has forgiven him. But As a Woman. I wouldn't want to be on vacation with My Ex & his side chick. No Matter What. I feel as if Ms. E is sharing her own story to help other ppl.💝💝💝
Denise Hunter Yes, thank you. Speak that truth!😘
Evelyn like eveyone one of us has had her share of skeletons, demons and her on cross to carry/bare. At the end of the day...ALL FALLEN SHORT!!!!! Nonetheless, I cast no stones for the fear of GOD, that large rocks will be thrown back at me. Evelyn appears to be a lady who did her best in raising her children. She made mistakes like every other mother, now moving on to do/be her best self. Evelyn, you have my blessings!!!!!!
Thank you
@@denzelbostic7219 My pleasure!
A very balanced comment. One of the best comments on this thread. Thank you.
Time to get the hell over it and move on..
I feel so sad for Miss Evelyn but I pray to God that he heals our heart but God has moved her in many places the first shall be last and the last shall be first I give God the honor pray because he still blessing her in her life she's beautiful she successful and she's a strong-willed mine woman God bless you thank you for the video
THIS JUST PROVES NO MATTER HOW GOOD WE BLACK WOMEN ARE THAT BLACK MAN ALOT AINT SHIT USE ABUSE CHEAT & BLAME US FOR EVERYTHING EVELYN YOU ARE A GREAT BLACK WOMEN& A GOOD MOTHER HES THE ONE WITH THE ISSUES NOT U 💗
I dont think it's cool for her to sit around telling her marital business to her daughters and they talk about it all the time. It's really necessary to tell them the details of the counseling sessions and that he was with other women in their bed? Talk to a friend, a counselor, a pastor, but your daughters? This is why they can't move on from it, constantly rehashing it and constantly finding out a new layer of yuck. Warn your daughters about how some men can be yes but all of this other stuff is just too much. It was a long time ago and they're acting like it all happened yesterday!
ceceoo3 I understand what you're saying BUT these are not "children" she's talking to. I mean, they ACT like children, but all in all they ARE adults! I dont see a problem with it. My sister knows almost every detail of my mother and her fathers marriage but that didnt make her treat her father nor my mother any differently. I just think the braxton sisters are very immature and have a lot of growing up to do honestly. Tamar in particular.
TheJasminep88 Your right, if they were young children or teens it wouldn't be good to share that with them. But like you said they are adults going through their own relationship struggles and problems as adults nothing gets sugar coated anymore you see how life really is and you see people for what they are and what they do so nothing is wrong with her telling them about it. They are adults and they know what's what.
Michelle A that's right!!!
My favorite reality mommy....Salute Ms. E
Man I wish she will get over her marriage that why her family is so unstable. Live her life an let her girls live there dammm!!!!
when your mother hurt you hurt. some hurt your mother they are hurting you.
Cassandra Nelson Exactly Cassandra
A good woman Evelyn your a strong beautiful woman.💖
What do anyone expect from a Male child that has not matured?
Both of them young, still finding
their way. Married, parents no
time to get to know themselves,
or the roles they are playing in
the home and away from home.
Titles do not make you, maturity
makes you!
To many times we move on feel
good, look good emotions, that is
destructive. As you see with the
BRAXTON FAMILY, those ego
Demons had a hold on in their
demise of their relationship.
Children do not keep husband
and wife together!
Continually having children in s
Dysfunctional home sets problems amongst the children.
Their first mistake was getting married at 18, second mistake was him marrying her because she was pregnant. Third mistake was him staying too long after he knew they shouldn't have been together. Religion and church folks causes people to live secret lives and not accept the truth. Pressure from church folks teaches you to stay in a marriage that never should've been in the first place. Evelyn needs to accept the fact that they never should've gotten married and accept her part. She got pregnant at 18 and in sure her father pushed them to get married to try and cover up the pregnancy. Braxton should've stood his ground and said no to the shotgun wedding. Just a big mess!
Danielle Silas It wasn't uncommon for women to get married at a young age back then. It was the norm.. to get married and have children, especially if you were pregnant. I'm not saying it was always under the best circumstances but it was pretty commonplace because the mindset was different. She's from that " stand by your man no matter what" generation of women,wives,and mothers. Publicly the women would maintain the appearance of being a happy family and close knit unit but the reality behind closed doors or out of the public eye was much different. They were both young and he was her first everything. Women back then were mostly encouraged to stay in the marriage and turn a blind eye to the cheating. She eventually realized her own worth and parted ways with him. You can tell that there's still so much hurt and anger about what he did to her,and their family.
Not a lie was told
Danielle Silas : You are forgetting one big thing; this was 1966, she had no real choice.
Tamar Seemed To Be The Closest To Mrs. E So That Might Be Why Tamar Hurt So Much In The Last Episode..
Daysha Benson I agree... Tamar is the baby of family after all.
she seems like a sweetheart
They ALL lived/living a double life.
From that Ilyana episode, I see where Tamar gets that terrible attitude.
Never give your life to someone else--give your life to God..
WE ALL GET LIFE'S LESSONS!! I LIKE THE BRAXTONS, AND. I LIKE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
people get me with these "truth" shows giving information on "what they heard."
NaturalBeauty0708 lol ikr!
Ms. Evelyn is rude & abrasive! She’s not kind to the help!
At some point, she knew he was cheating. As a woman, you just have those feelings an intuition. If he constantly bringing a female co-worker around that is suspicious. No she kept getting pregnant in hopes he would choose her in the end. Black women are strong and can handle things but most will address their man if he is not doing right. With that being said, if Mr. Braxton had a whole other life with a woman, he had to be absent in theirs at some point. And with 6 kids you never had a problem with him coming home late or him helping with the kids. I'm not condoning his cheating ass because what he did was completely wrong and the other woman could have let him go. I just think Ms. Braxton need to forgive because it's clear she hasn't because she hasn't dated or remarried. She doesn't want Mr. Braxton and his new wife in her "space" even at the cost of her children not seeing their father. It is keeping anger in her heart while pressuring her children to leave their father alone. If she would find a new true Christian man she wouldn't be worried about her ex because she would be happy again. She would be saying I thank him for giving me these beautiful children who are doing great in life to a point.
They got the wake up call on papa he was exposed for real. He was a hypocrite living a double life. Take no owner ship for his messiness He should have been crying more than anyone . God bless Ms Evelyn she is a OG. Talk bout he never loved her when did you figure that out after how many babies Sir
He took ownership for what he did. But it's been so many years it's time to move on
They act like they never knew their fathers wife, but why does the stepmother know Tamars nanny name and why would Logan call her Ms. Wanda
cpatterson22 they don't act like they didn't know her. They just don't hang around her because of how she became his wife.
cpatterson22 right this isn't the first time this woman's name and the story of infidelity came up. we're just getting more to the story. remember season 1 or 2 when Ms. E confronted the dad and accused him of "layin it low and spreadin it wide." I'm sorry but that was something to hear right there. Tamar is very close to her dad and so is Tracy. Tracy actually said she keeps in touch with the dad and his wife, including visits. I'm good don't ask me to do it cause I'm not. Sorry!
cpatterson22 why would he not call her Ms.Wanda ?
HELANNA DEAR I was saying they made it seem like they never interacted with the wife (besides Traci) before, so how does Logan know who she is and by name
cpatterson22 so true. I was wondering about that
miss evelyn is a true capicorn once they done they are done than they are ice cold
sugafoot820 omg Yesss that's so true . I'm a Virgo and I understand how Towanda feels like . ⚘
sugafoot820 Right....
sugafoot820 lol that is true. we are icy
RickySals Lol. I'm a Virgo too and when Towanda said what she said I heard her loud and clear! It's just that easy for me. SMH. Interesting
Evelyn ain't got No Damn Secrets....
Their Dad is a JERK!!!
He was DEAD WRONG to his family
He is a typical black preacher! So be glad it is over and you had the courage to move on, Evelyn
Way to put all preachers in a little black box.... My father is a preacher and is cut totally from a different cloth. His walk with the Lord is real and he would never hurt the Lord by breaking his vows to him or my mother. They have been together for 40 Years. They have had their troubles of course but what marriage hasn't. Where there are many black preachers as you call it, I say black men but yes, there are a lot of men who cheat, there are still good men out there who love the Lord and honor their walk and commitment to him and their wives... Don't lump all black men/ men into one box they are not all the same.
skinnygyrl 37 I feel you on that sis!
Rhonda Collins True that's the problem they look at the man and not the man Jesus when will people learn you don't go to church for man you go to seek Jesus
skinnygyrl 37 Peep she said "typical black preacher". If this is not your father, that just means that he is an exception. However, a very large proportion of black preachers are pimps, players, and thieves.
I pray for this family. He needs to apologize to each of them for his adultery sins. The girls carry this hurt into their own marriages.
He has apologized. But until their mother lets go they won't
We always hear about Toni, Towanda, Traci, Trina, and Tamar, but what about their brother Mikey was he not affected or was everything ok with him.
Doris Lee that's what I was thinking when they were on iyanla.... Sometimes I think he's the dopted cousin not the brother.
He's not with the shits
He doesn't want any part of it. Those women are chasing fame Toni is the true star
Okay I was thinking I was gonna hear something new😤🤔
Ms. E is going to have to forgive Braxton. She has yet to do that. I'm sure it's hard but it's the only way she can free up that bitterness that she has.
Anisha Renee She say she has and I can believe she has. I don't blame her for not wanting to be around her ex-husband and around an old friend who be stabbed her in the back. One can forgive someone but not be around them.
Anisha Renee Yes..she said she has forgiven him but that doesn't mean you should be buddy buddy...and be in each others lives like what he did was nothing to be devastated over.
Southerngirl0828 Exactly! Cheated for years on in and then married a friend.
Myss_Qwe_Tue_Yue Israel She stayed all those years knowing that he was cheating. As women we set the standard for how we're treated by what we tolerate. She's mad that he cheated but infuriated that he actually had the nerve to fall in love with one of the women he cheated with. That's where much of her anger stems from...It wasn't just the physical act but fact that this other woman had his heart at some point. Evelyn Braxton and him were childhood sweethearts. They were young when they got together and she was in love and expected it to last forever. He probably was in love with her at one time also..Sometimes things change. I'm not excusing his deplorable actions but its been a long time..Forgiveness and closure is what gives a person the true emotional and mental freedom that they seek. Being bitter blocks blessings and even future love from finding you.
719kai719 She said, "I knew men cheated, but I didn't think Michael was." I have to give her the benefit of doubt about, "Knowing" he was cheating and strictly because 'HE IS/WAS A PASTOR'. I don't think her, "Anger" comes in from not one reason you stated, but for the 'FACT WANDA AND MS. E WERE FRIENDS. If Ms.E was that womam you're making her out to be then, 'SHE WOULD NOT HAVE LEFT', and Braxton would have been married to Ms. E still. He wanted his cake and eat it too and she wasn't having it childhood love and all.
I am trying to figure out why these grown women need to go on vacation with their parents. They act like they are kids. Grow up let your mom deal with your father when she wants to. If they want to hear his side why bring his wife talk to him alone.
candace turner They do act like they are still little children tho.
Yay glad to hear your still on here.
Oh wow Evelyn was a coloratura Soprano like Tamar. Maybe why her and Tamar they so close Tay got Momma's Voice.
Damn he wasn't shit from day one...DAMN!!!
Braxton is wrong on more levels than one (and I am not only talking about infidelities), but how he demands respect from his children just because he's their father. He is a selfish man and only considers his own feelings and in a lot of way that mentality reminds me of my own dad.
Myss_Qwe_Tue_Yue Israel yes, me too.
your mother's favorite. Although my dad is deceased and I fully understand the point of forgiveness before its too late (I am thankful for the opportunity to forgive my father before he died). I couldn't help but see my dad in Mr. Braxton's actions as far as the, "Respect me because I am your father and you don't give me an ultimatum" mentality, and then to justify his actions by, "I'm a man" took the cake (talking about Thursday's episode).
It's bringing up Evelyns past nightmares and feelings and its just shitty of the girls! SHIT Mama needs a serious man for a date and poor woman's gonna need a long vacation from this shitshow vacation these girls brought her on#SHAME ON BRAXTON
Nicole Castillo I don't understand. In general, the girls seem to care little for their mom when she is the one who stood by them. Ms. E was hurt to her soul that the girls are bringing Wanda in as part of the show now. They are killing off their mother's character all because their father is "fun" and Ms. E is not. She is fair and strict. If that Wanda scrunch face is now a part of the show, then I'm thru watching the Braxton Family Values. The ratings will go down with Wanda on there cuz most viwers love Ms. E.
Shirley Queen Amen to that!!!
Their loyalty to their mother is unearned. She stirs the pot a lot. I think she lies also.
Lara O'neal Child, TY! I can't with their mother. She takes I AM THE MOTHER to far!
There honor to there mother is all right...Never tell someone to dishonor there parents...God says in his "Ten Commandments" to honor your mother and father a commandment is an order from The Most High God.
Thats alot you are basically saying that they shouldn't respect her.
if their mother are there supposed to be loyal to her, whether or not she's made the best decisions times were much different back then. I know I will always be loyal to my mother regardless of any mistakes she may have made raising her children we're all human and make mistakes no mother or father is perfect
I think she is so preoccupied with her looks and her hurt and disappointments to really be able to be any kind of help to her kids or anyone else.
I guess they have that old crotched ass man on the show for ratings, but those girls need to grow up cuz that man abandoned them for 8 yrs. Every show needs a villain. That side piece he got now can't be no good cuz she got involved with a married man with 6 children. Oh the karma there. The show is demoralizing with Braxton on it. It teaches men the prosperity in mistreating women. Now he is bringing his crunched up face side piece on the show to finish destroying Evelyn. This might just send her over the edge. She is a good and very strong woman, but...She gave him her life and she is alone all of these years and will probably never find anyone. Braxton is nothing but an evil demon and not a good one. I hope that the trap that he is setting up for Evelyn, he falls into it instead. The girls need to consider their mother's health and stop risking it for ratings.
Shirley Queen
Emotional health is equally important to face and handle. I am so glad the Braxtons are publically addressing this situation for their true inner healings of their feelings. They're also helping countless others to deeply heal.
Shirley Queen
Hi. My statement was about his daughters's, son's, & ex-wife's healings.
Again! What sort of healing are you possibly referring to? There is no healing in what this man is flaunting in the face of his wife and children.
Shirley Queen
Hi. How this family can heal is by going thru each one of the grieving steps (for any type of loss), at each one's own pace, as follows:
7 STAGES OF GRIEF (SNIPPETS)
Through the Process and Back to Life
So why bother with stage models at all? Because they are a good general guide of what to expect.
___________________________
**Outsiders do not understand this, and feel that it should be time for you to "get over it" and rejoin the land of the living. Just knowing that your desire to be alone with your sad reflections at this time is normal will help you deal with outside pressures. You are acting normally. They just don't "get it".
__________________________
"The 7 Stages of Grief"
*SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
*PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.
You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
*ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame... on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion. You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair...
*"DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.
During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.
*THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life..., your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
*RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
*ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. **Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.
You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.
You have made it through the 7 stages of grief.

I know all about Maslow's Hierarchy
what was the secrets???
we heard all of that on the show.
It seems to me that Ms. Evelyn wants, and is moving on, but her daughters keep trying to bring them together for family occasions, and they're forgetting the fact that both parents have new lives, (the father is remarried) moving in different directions. He can have a relationship with the daughters, separate from their Mom, but it seems like the daughters don't want to face the fact that the family unit between the Mom and Dad is broken. I believe the daughters can have a relationship with their Dad and his "new wife" if they choose to
Ella Presley I so agree
That woman is mean. Period.
LORD REBUKE THOSE WHO WANT A POSITION IN GOD'S CHURCH/BODY AND DONT FEAR THE LORD! THIS SLOPPY HYPOCRISY IS MAKING CHRISTIANITY LOOK A MESS.. NOT GOD. THE LORD GOD IS HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS THE PERFECT JUDGE.. FEAR HIM!

I feel he really hurt her an that hurt cut her deep ,never put any man before ""GOD"" he had the power to walk away , keep his zipper closed but mother braxton has to let it go you will not forget but you have to forgive to be forgiven life is much to short to be walking around mad because someone did this our that to you in your past you better live your life an make the best of it because we have no ideal when GOD will pull our time card !!!!!🌹🌹🌹⏰❤☺
Debra Thompson It's like that song says-you can run on for a long time run on for a long time run on for a long time, but sooner or later God will cut you down.
This was stuff I already know I thought it was a different secret. 😏
ms. evelyn will be just fine!
Really!?!? Still waiting on the secrets.
I understand that things like this can be devastating BUT it's been 15 or 16 years since he cheated and married the mistress... When will the healing begin... How miserable one must be to stay stuck in the past
He's THEIR father, he doesn't need THEIR approval... He cheated on Evelyn NOT his kids... His ability to be an amazing father had nothing to do with his infidelity to his wife... But as they said, they cut him off after the affair , because they felt that this other woman was the problem. I don't condone cheating, I think it wrong, but they've missed out on their father for 16 years because of it. A girl needs her daddy, it doesn't matter how old we get ❤

EB needs something as powerful as what her daughters got at that dinner in Mexico. Her daughters started strongly healing that night -- not during those empty 16 yrs B4 then.
Actually, he DID cheat on his wife as well as the children. He betrayed the whole family when he took up with these women and left and got married. His actions didn't just hurt Evelyn, it tore the nuclear family apart.
It's always the ones preaching the gospel that have the most b.s going on eternally! This is why I dont and WONT praise most of these bible thumbing Christians because they preach about forgiving and can't do it themselves. Ms Evelyn needs Ms Iyanla to fix her life because she definitely needs healing! P.S: Idk how Papa Braxton was getting all these women back in the day because he looked horrible back then! (My opinion)
TheJasminep88 Weellllll one could look at it that way. I think it's more they're used more by God as preachers and such but the devil is coming at them just as hard for the very same reason. A regular Christian with not as much responsibility may not have as many struggles and vices as someone in leadership. Does that make it ok to cheat or whatever? Of course not, but take a walk in a leader's shoes and you may be able to understand. To much is given, much is required... And also, just because leaders fall short gives ppl no excuse to not do what they are supposed to do or be obedient to God's Word.
TheJasminep88 sorry, I had to re-read your post. That's good that you don't put leaders on a pedestal, they're just humans at the end of the day.
Tia Antoinette happy you re-read it..
TheJasminep88 Agree with you 💯!! It's not so much about how fine he is, but the power he has. She was looking for her come up. He's the worst type, narcissistic and selfish. Mrs. E. did the best, that she could have done. Her healing is also getting better each year. She's doing and is going to be alright! Them other 2 jackasses, they have never looked happy together to me. Oh well......they just need to stay miserable, all by themselves. She needs to continue to stay away from them Devil Seeds!!! Misery loves company! She could come to a BBQ or something like that but, I'm flying almost 8hrs., and my Mom was there first, she wouldn't be there! And no way, is she flying back all by herself. Daddy needs to and would get over himself. Toni was stupid for that move. Mama always #1, over cheating daddy!
In my opinion .... Most (all... lol) Christian's do live double lives .... they really think that the Title as christian gives them passes to sin long as they repent .... people with religious titles are the exact same as what they call sinner's .... no one is safe when we're all here together fighting temptations and everything else that comes with the realities of life ....

It's the blood that saves you will never be perfect in your righteousness
Think what really starts things like this is getting married too young.... never being able to have that "young wild and free" lol single life... to find yourself and get to know whats out there... so all of those urges and confusion builds up and spills into a marriage.....
Jon'Vie Well, a Lot of Ppl During That Time Marriages Last Super Long. That's Just an Excuse
Antoinette Jolie - Madame Sade the reason why people marriages lasted for so long back then is because the women didn't know anything about the Workforce, the man was the breadwinner while the woman stayed home with the children, that's why A LOT of them put up with physical, mental, emotional and sexual abuse, now n days women are also the Breadwinners so they no longer have to put up with the BS, thats why the divorce rate is so high now versus back then.
***** you must have never been married before or for not that long atleast lol.. we all know life is never that simple or stright forward... And "personal evolution" can mean anything... Like what if your husband/wife "evolves" to being gay? You cant fix something like that... Not everyone is meant to "grow with you".... Sometimes your path is to move on...
They momma look good for her age
ok, soooooo, where are the secrets??? this is stuff that's already out there..
Ms E IS a beautiful woman he should be shame of himself the wife he have now have nothing on Ms E
Emma Jones But he chose the "other" woman who has "nothing on Ev". Let that sink in. It's more than looks
She has no bastard children or grandchildren love Ms E a real woman
Not many men can cheat without being figured but Mr. Braxton was good if he was able to do it for 9 years before she knew of it.
No Good deeds Goes UnPunished Galatians 6:7-9 Colossians 3:25
Hebrews 13:4. James1:13-18.
Dang he looked old back then!!
Brigitte Jenkens
He was a pastor....
The women are always after them.
Maybe this is why she was so reluctant to Iyanla, one life coach cannot cope with another coaching then on their lives. It’s easy to see what Iyanla has said about their family dynamic. Probably just really hard to accept.
Mr. Braxton has a lot of blood on his hands smh
For Evelyn to help others through their issues.
It seems she needs help with some of her own.
She left him and it's been 15 years.
At some point you have to let go and let God.
WTF did I just watch?
lmao same
If he didnt want to marry her he should not have, but again back then. Anyway why stay with her then mess around with the other women those many years.
dora williams
Life was different back then.
She is still PISSED THE HELL OFF... GOING PAST DECADES NOW, She will always be bitter if she does not let that past go... Got dam Ms E.. Although this is no exposed situation she needs to show her DAUGHTERS BETTER
cdubb and a pastor too holding on to that anger...ooh, she's in danger of hell fire
Shirley queen you just said a mouth full !!!!!
Toni look just like her mom did when she was younger. They all favor her, but I think Toni look like her the most.
Ladenna Young Toni is a transgender. Don’t take my word for it. Research it . It’s all there.
This was beyond disrespectful
You can find this same info on Wikipedia you guys. Click bait
somebody should have told Tamar about her makeup
Chocolate I like it I guess it was the lighting not everyone likes dramatic makeup but I like it
It not even the right color it's gives off a pale look,not natural,but to each it's own
Keep Michael and Wanda out of your life Evelyn. That is strange how they keep coming around you, they already infiltrated and now like they want to finish something. Hmmmm......
markeetawins Not strange! Scripted TV! Evelyn should have found love and moved on with her life. She's bitter and sad!
Miss Everlyn beautiful the girls get there good looks from there mum💕💕tamwars like her dad..😊😊
Sarah sankey
Yeeeeeeeeeees
