“Do not marry someone that you would not want to be divorced from!” ~ such a profound and eye opening statement 👏🏼👏🏼.
Wasn’t that a life changing statement.
🎯🎯🎯
He had nothing better to do than torture you and drag this out. It’s despicable that he did this not caring that he was harming your child. He was so jealous and jealousy is scary. Don’t get me started with his PARENTS!!!
All of it more common than people think
Yes. He is far from unique in that respect, unfortunately.
You’re hearing and believing one side of the story. This woman has had COUNTLESS unsuccessful relationships. You really believe she bears no responsibility at all?
@@RobMathMillershe has never said she held no responsibility. However, if you’d watch the previous videos or knew anything at all about how this played out you’d know he was arrested for stalking, for sending hundreds and hundreds 0f emails, verbally attacking her at their daughters school.
Just for reference, she’s had several relationships that have lasted 5+ years each.
@@RobMathMiller countless? Exaggerate much?
Just remember that when your daughter is grown living a happy successful life it is because of you and what you fought for. ❤
Well said! 💕
❤️❤️❤️
My son turned 18 March. Day after his birthday I blocked his dad on everything!!! I never have to see or speak to him again and I feel so light and free now
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
As far as the court system and her obligations she’s done. I think that’s what she meant. Sorry about your parents. Mine were the same. It was just common knowledge they wouldn’t and couldn’t communicate.
"My life is survival mode." I feel that deep in my bones. Domestic abuse survivor in childhood (dad) and then 21yrs married to a narcissistic sociopath. Thankfully he died in 2015. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks for watching ❤
Sometimes the mental things we deal with can be more difficult than the physical things. ❤❤❤
That experience of mental and emotional abuse is VALID, these types of abuse are utilized by armed forces against captives! *Bethenny is a WARRIOR, so many of us are. A woman who is protecting her child and fighting for her sanity and peace is an absolute unit, a force of nature!*
❤️❤️❤️
I hope whoever he’s dating watches these videos and runs
😮
That was a good one: “do not marry someone you don’t want to go through the divorce with”
If they wanted a healthy relationship with Brynn why did they torture you? Somethings not right in the head with that family. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Because their actions didn't match their words. They were disingenuous and only wanted to hurt Bethany...anything else they said was a lie. Jason and his creepy parents were simply awful!
Those Hoppys think BF used JH to have a child. Once it became clear the relationship was bad she finally pulled the plug on the marriage. JH felt duped (he wasn't) and started to punish BF. Plus he knew about the shady legal work he manipulated and was probably nervous it would be found out. JH knew he could not out spend her on lawyers but he could make her day to day life miserable. He felt that what ever the means neccesary he was going to make BF PAY. The Hoppy's joined together to triple team BF and drive her out of the apartment and keep BH away from BF. At this point he hated BF more than he loved BH.I hope that has changed.
Thanks for watching xo
Why do you think Jason turned out like he did apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
My guess is the little green monster was at play here.
Your vulnerability is helping this therapist heal. I spent 6 figures and 9yrs tied up in a custody fight. You are brave to be this vulnerable. Thank you
I imagine all that money was your part of the divorce where you got half of his estate that you never contributed towards. If it was your money you wouldn’t have done that.

@@user-mf3in4pv7h you must be new here! 🤦♀️😂
@@user-mf3in4pv7hdid you miss the part where she said she was a therapist!? 7 years of schooling! Try it…..she probably earned more than her ex!
Nobody will ever be able to outsmart or outpower Bethenny. Her dedication to always doing what right for Brynn- even if at times it went against the legal system is what makes her the BEST mom any child could ask for. Because of so many of moments alone and scared, Bethenny has become an empowered and also an empathetic voice, leading the way for Brynn and so many others. I am so grateful that you set such a positive example… not just Brynn, but for everyone! Thank you! 🙏
❤️❤️❤️
🌹This divorce series is by far the best advice, most raw experience and enduring inspiration I have ever heard. This is valuable information that women of all ages need to hear. Thank you Bethenny for continuing to inspire me. ~Love&Light♥️Carli xx
Thanks for following along! Keep listening ❤️
I can really empathize with having no family and having to do it alone. It’s so hard and no one gets it.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Yes, I echo that too. Thanks for reminding me. The way she validates the isolation you feel. So powerful. I would be the family less one too so that hit different. So many insights. But they hurt her too much. My heart breaks for the pain she was feeling in public. While having to do it alone.
I watched every second of you on housewives. It was 100% evident when you referenced being without your daughter how much of an impact it had on you. I felt that through the TV.
He was despicable. And his parents sounded like a nightmare
And you know this how? Why do you automatically believe her side of the story ONLY!
Why DON'T you?
@@RobMathMiller You know how we know? 10 years! It wasn’t her that kept the divorce going. She said she wanted to amicably end it for the sake of their child. Don’t be obtuse. This isn’t that difficult. TEN YEARS!
Is that you Jason?
@Rob Miller Try to keep up.
My Ex visited his mother without me. When he came home, he said his mother was fine. I found out, she had spilled pasta water all over herself with 3rd degree burns. He never mentioned it because it meant nothing to him. I knew right then, if not before, he was the wrong man for me.
That is messed up
Or didnt mention it because he was...... responsible for it happening?????
Horrible. It shows a genuine lack of care or concern. Zero empathy.
My ex fiancé left his father “on ice” in the morgue for over a month because he wasn’t sure if he was going to get his inheritance. he had the money to do a proper service, but he didn’t.
The extended family had to step in because he didn’t want to pay for his funeral. Soon after, I loved witnessing karma when he found out he didn’t get a cent and was expecting millions.
Also, I knew then, that if he would do that to his own father, he would do that to me - he was already treating me poorly and I was beaten down mentally. This was the kick for me to finally leave once and for all.

It’s gotta be done the Katie Holmes execution “Eject Eject Eject” emergency exits plan.
I know motherhood is important to you, but I can't wait until you can go into detail about your ex experience. Covert narcs try to destroy every single aspect of your life. You are a survivor. You did it! Thank God! You have every right to feel bad. I think the psychological abuse was way worse than physical abuse.
I have the same issues. My mom still tells me I’m bad all the time. With age I have come to be able to look at my life and tell myself I’m not bad, I’m actually lovely.
Hi. Im so sorry you've gone through that! But im certain you would not allow other people to say cruel things like that to you. Just because she has the title of 'mother' does not mean she's allowed to either.
❤️❤️❤️
Sounds like a nightmare you cant wake up from, as you go insane from the gas lighting and the feeling of isolation and paranoia. Everyone needs a copilot, an advocate next to them in life, to stand as a witness in the dark times.
I’m so grateful that you are sharing your experience. It has humanized mine. I see you. I hear you. I believe you. This kind of vulnerability, transparency and openness will change lives. I wish I would’ve had this to listen to going thru my abusive divorce 10 years ago. This is so cathartic and healing. Thank you. God bless you. From one mom to another: I’m so proud of you.
❤️❤️❤️
Imagine that 70% of mothers feel like this every day. This is more normal than people think. It amazes me of the luxuries others have and don't realize it or dont care
Probably more! But you nailed it when you said “More normal than you think”!
I witnessed two good friends each have amicable divorces and was convinced this would be my story too. Not so. When I told my ex that I wanted a divorce he said, “If you think I’m going to make this easy on you, you don’t know me at all.”
Contrast this to my current spouse who replied to his ex when she asked for a divorce- he told her, “Let’s make this as quick and painless as possible for us and the sake of our child.”
I remember trying to follow the rules, even when he didn't. With a smile on his face, he would pick up the kids while I was freaking out inside. I get your truth, Bethenny. I'm sorry.
“The cracks become craters”…OMG that is so freakin true!!! I couldn’t see it bc he was my mom if that makes sense. I couldn’t see it. Ladies pay attention to EVERYTHING. It’s not the big things it IS the little things. Thank you Bethenny!!!❤😢❤
Thanks for watching!
You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it-Denzel Washington - I learned this the very HARD way from age 44 to 48.
Growing up in an abusive home, I think one might be more tolerant of rotten behavior, to our own detriment.
My divorce was terrible but everyday I thank God my children were grown and I didn’t have to deal with Family Court. I can’t imagine that nightmare! 😢
Thanks for watching xo
I’m so sorry you went through this. I have a similar experience and I went to two years of hell getting divorced. The hell the ex caused started in 2009 and got so bad in 2013 and 2014. The ex tried to kill me in 2014 and that flipped a switch in me and made me leave! The ex involved his family and they hated me for whatever made up reasons they came up with. He and his family (especially his mother) tortured me!
The ex continues bothering me and demanding money from me till today … which is absolutely crazy, especially since he is college educated and has other professional credentials, yet absolutely REFUSES TO WORK!
He’s not a man at all and his main goal is to still try to abuse me.
Would love to see you interview Tina Swithin from One Mom’s Battle. She’s an amazing advocate. Thank you for sharing. My life was destroyed by my ex and I will never recover from the legal/financial/verbal/mental abuse and years of continued control by having to co-parent with someone who has no interest in co-parenting, but sees a family court order as a way to continue their abuse
I waited 27 years of being married to a mentally and spiritual abuser. I waited until my daughters were out on their own. I knew he would make our lives a living hell if I left when custody was an issue.
I was so lost and confused by the time I served him with divorce papers that I just gave him everything. I just wanted out. I needed out for my sanity.
It’s been 14 years since the divorce and I can honestly say I’m finally feeling free of him.
I know you’re helping someone today Bethany.
And for what it’s worth, I saw you. I saw you suffering. Every time you were on your show or housewives, I could physically see you were not doing well.
Shame on his family for endorsing his abuse.
Donna
Love that you watched ❤️ Share with other women!
I have seen this a 1000 times. The woman feel trapped and when they can finally leave they all walk with nothing. It is so sad that a man can make us so desperate to escape we are willing to have nothing and start over.
Give me strength. 28 years of narcissistic abuse.
@@jillr75918 years here 😢
Donna, me too I left with what would fit in my car, 2 yrs later I finally got an apartment, lived in my car for a long time, I don't trust anyone who offers help, I feel it's a trap of I did for you now you gotta do for me,I don't want caught up, I just felt with it and scratched my way up from a hole and now I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel,this time last year I was so broken especially emotionally, I have healed over time and am at 50 yrs old just starting out like I'm 25, but having a bed and bathroom a kitchen,I'm Soo thankful, I have escaped I am ok I am doing it ! And I'm free and have peace inside.
Btw that man had a car accident before divorce was finished I had ran away too soon , his family said I abandoned him and kept everything the house the insurance ECT ....I didn't know it had happened and it was all over by the time I found out
Every judge in America: When 2 adults refuse to act like adults during separation, they pay other adults to decide their & their children’s fate. Ridiculous.
These detailed episodes are my favorite! I swear, years ago with all the tabloid news on your divorce and never hearing about it from you I'd say, "one of these days she's gonna be able to let it all go and tell us what the hell was really going on." I'm so glad you're telling it now but I'm sorry you had to live through it at all. I played the long game once and it was pure hell!
❤️❤️❤️
What a testament to courage, strength, stamina and integrity, Bethenny.
There were/are countless of us who would had swooped you up in our collective arms had we known. You're a blessing. Keep speaking truth! We see, hear and acknowledge your beautiful essence. 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for watching xo
God bless you Bethany. I am 38 and wish I could take my life by the horns like you have. Be proud of what you have accomplished! You have a selfless and encouraging story.
I don’t understand how Bryn can have a great relationship with him knowing what he did to you. Cuz being good to her doesn’t negate how he was with you. She will have to realize this at some point and realize how NOT OKAY that was.
or maybe it was more her than him!
People don't really feel others pain anymore, and she's young still, needs to have him in her life . However when she's older and has children she'll find out and then she'll understand and apologize for not seeing how bad it really was for her mom .
Bethany going to be breathing down her son in laws neck , make him already sign divorce papers for later lol
It’s like my parents divorce. My dad treated my mom not so great. I find it very off putting but I’m not married to him. I’m his daughter-different relationship. You learn to separate the two. He’s been a good dad to me just like Brynn’s father has to her.
We don’t know all of it. I have a feeling she sees it. Also I think she’s young it’s complicated and we should leave that part alone.
A good father and a bad husband -both can be true.
Hey.... I still have all my binders showing laying out the shenanigans that went on. My oldest is 30, youngest is 28. I haven't looked at them for years but I know where they are. It's proof of the crap, the garbage and frustrating BS. I see you. You see me. Thank you B
Yes! Spot on! Like so many of us, I spent 10 years suffering in the help of my abusive marriage in SILENCE. Nobody knew what I was going through. This was followed by a 7 year of divorce hell. Again, I dealt with it pretty much on my own while juggling life. I wish I could have had this kind of message to listen to and to feel like I wasn't the only one suffering like this. I know these videos are helping women today.
So important to share with other women. Keep listening, spread the word!
I need the rest of the notary story and his mom. How on earth was she able to prove the apartment was never really his?!
I’m still stuck on this as well! I hope Bethenny goes back to this to describe how it transpired.
He silenced her. I watched a video she reposted after taking it down ..the part where she says he called her a piece of shit , that was removed when it was reposted. It sucksss i wanna hear the story i fucking hate him
She says it in the video called "Power Struggle Triggers" between minutes 16 and 18.

Survivor of 23 years of torture. My kids are the best humans I know. I did it all for them. I am older and alone but at least I am free. I believe you!
ugh freedom from them is a gift…
Keep listening ❤
When you said “you know what you’re getting with me”. Amen to that!
Children see EVERYTHING.. and they remember.. so sorry you went thro this 😔
❤️❤️❤️
I'm not crying 😢, you're crying! You get me ev damn time! I've lived this HELL & am Clawing my way back from it 7 yrs now. THX SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!!❤
Thanks for watching ❤️
I lived this for 18 years. Everything was to torture me and unfortunately my child. I’m in trauma therapy now to deal with it. His parents had the money for attorneys, I did not. Everything we said to each other was in writing. It was sick. The mental abuse was torture.
I think this cathartic for Bethany to talk it out. Now it's done, put it in a box and bury it. New beginnings, new future. Enjoy what you have now with your sweet Daughter 🎉❤. Sending hugs from Rosie O 🏴

Women want the truth also!
I’m going through this now. Divorcing a narcissist after 23 years and it is hell. No court but having to live with him until our house sells. It sucks.
There is such a thing as Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
You're so right. People take up resources and abuse the system and everyone else suffers for it. I think the women who make false accusations and claims need to be held accountable in a major way to send a message bc we may not want to believe it but it's very common!
I have a very similar story. It causes PTSD
There’s the stress and the criticism by the whole world every minute and trying to mother. I completely get it. It’s magnified for u in the press and social media and the court of public opinion
I commend you for not speaking out before now. I’ve been through a divorce and everything you’re speaking of is traumatizing. You waited to speak your truth and that speaks so much about the parent you are and how much you love your daughter!
Thanks for watching!!
All I can say for sure is, right now, your daughter seems extremely well adjusted and confident and just puts a big smile on my face and I dislike most people I see on here these days
Right she’s such a well rounded, sweet, child. You can just tell. She did a good job w her absolutely.
Aww, thank you!
I can feel the torture you went through. As you talk about it you a remembering other times of torture so much so you aren’t finishing a thought. I can’t imagine the torture you have endured. No one should have to endure this. You are an amazing mother. Thanks for sharing this, it has to be so hard bringing up this trauma. 🥰
Bethenny i hear your message. society must see the scale of spousal abuse. my ex was a pain in the ass, but he is a good guy & brilliant father- i do personally believe that people like me shudnt clog up the legal system..my ex is a sensible man..what you endured was that of a madman. much love & admiration from Scotland.❤
Thanks for watching ❤️
I grew up in an alcoholic household. It was scary, I was never safe. I bye the grace of god, made a great decision to marry opposite of my father. God rest his souls . I forgive him. Thank you for you honesty and realness in telling you story. I really respect you as a woman and a mom. God be with you!❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching ❤️
Mental torture is a whole other thing imo, horrific
I feel this to my core! I am so sorry Bethany that that cruel human being is so incredibly sick that he felt he had to torture the mother of his child! You are one very strong woman, and an amazing mother!
❤❤❤
When Dennis died, it was Jason’s turn to have custody of Bryn. Bethenny asked if she could change the schedule so that Bryn could be with her. Jason refused. That’s only one example of his rigidity and lack of understanding. He is a sick and pathetic excuse for a father.
I wonder if the awful father and grandparents bad mouth Bethenny at ever opportunity? Does Bryn hear this?
Wow! I didn’t hear about that. What an ass. That’s the example of hating your ex more than loving your child 😢❤
I wish she would invite a clinical psychologist to this vlog to explain how the psychological weapons at play to win in the end. Men want to win. I'm not the expert so it would help for women unmarried and divorcing to understand the different male -female perspectives.
Horrible person.. Jason is just a total pos. Happy he has a good relationship with her but the torture he inflicted on you should be punishable.
Is there an equivalent award to an Emmy, Tony, etc( not saying she is acting about any of this) for UA-cam content? This series is so raw and vulnerable, and so helpful for so many people. Bethany, never question your worth beyond your financial worth. You are a diamond. You have weathered so many storms in your life. You will be blessed ten fold for what you do for people. Breathe! You are enough and you are seen, truly seen.
There's an award for content creators, I believe specifically for UA-cam (?), but I just can't remember the name for the life of me! But yeah, I could definitely see her getting that for this series! Hopefully people on her team will submit it or whatever it is you need to do.
A precious, rare raw, uncut diamond 💎
❤❤❤
I have always loved you Bethany and after hearing the TRUE story , im shook. Thank God you did the right thing for your daughter. I just cant express the mad respect i have for you!!❤❤
OMG! The phone ring and stop. The manipulation, the control. Jaxon was 1st gaslighting you and 2.making you jump through hoops.
This made me bawl. But helped me to know I’m not alone. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
On the show with J you could see you were absolutely miserable and knew you made a huge mistake and I'm so sorry you went through this..
I wish there was a WOMENS ADVOCACY group to HELP WOMEN navigate the legal system!! For FREE!! WHEN I make my 1st million, I will organize some HUGE and WIDELY KNOWN, ALL OVER the world, and ALSO SAFE HOUSES, with free THERAPY and ANGEL NETWORKS for funding to start over!! WOMEN should be helping WOMEN!!
Keep listening ❤️
You should definitely end with an episode on how to heal after it’s all finally over. Also an episode on how to navigate with the children during such a contentious time.
Didn’t Jason also stalk you outside of Bryn’s school and then got a damn restraining order? That says a lot about his character.
I’m happy that you’ve come out - and went through torture during my divorce.
Leaving is the most dangerous part. There’s many cases that parents have lost control and things spin out of control.
I used to think that you were so mean on the show. After being in a relationship with a malignant covert narc for 7 years, I believe every word you are saying about your ex husband. You get subjected to so much reactive abuse, gaslighting, and feel crazy. I get it! He psychologically raped you and terrorized you. Nobody understands you on the outside. They just call you the abuser because you are reacting to their psycho behavior. I was born in darkness too and you get into a relationship with covert narc, and you will never be the same again.
💯💯💯
Reactive abuse is literal hell. My husband went through it for 16 yrs. And like most narcissists she claimed to be the victim. She is a terrible person. (Not Bethany.)
It's tremendous what people can do to eachother.
100% Amen.
100% True is hard to watch the raw emotion when she talks about it but GOD if she feels like this now, in real time she must have been a controled (cause she had to work and live) wreak inside.
It was all control, and it’s sickening. At some point parents you do have to do what’s best and document. When I finally stopped following certain rules and put my foot down and showed I wasn’t scared the “game” changed!! Negotiating less money, negotiating a better child schedule plan, etc., if your doing that and they aren’t budging, then it’s a game to them! You can be a normal person like myself, but the control to them is greater than their love for the child! Show no emotion because if they know you want something or certain day or something planned, they will withhold your child….they don’t go by an rules but expect you too!
Thank you for making yourself vulnerable and helping other people out who are going through this.
I’m more disgusted with his parents….. but as they say ‘the apple falls under the apple tree’.
Only getting her side of story, we all know there are 2 sides!!
@@chiefswife1212 Actually there are 3 sides. Hers,his, and the truth!
Will you ever share your thoughts about WHY you think your ex did all those horrible things, dragged things out for so long, hated you sooooo much? I know would only be conjecture, but would be interesting to hear your thoughts.
I'd like to hear B's thoughts about that as well. Especially as it's been considerable time and she can see the big picture.
Because he's a narcissist, that's why. This is what they do. This is who they are. It's all about hurting the partner, taking advantage, psychological torture, gaslighting 24/7. She decided she wanted out and he thought OH YEAH??? He's a narc and that's why he did what he did.
@@zariballard exactly this. If someone has never been in a relationship with someone with a cluster B personality disorder, they will never understand.
And if you were ever unfortunate enough to be in that situation with someone like that, myself included, as it’s happening to you lt completely scrambles your brain. which is exactly what they want. They derive a sick pleasure from power, manipulation, and control.
Thank God, I am free.
I'd like to hear from Bethany, thanks!
She said he specifically targeted her, wanted to be famous and the money. Once she wanted to leave him she took “the shiny things away” as she said on a reunion. And people don’t handle that well. He wanted to destroy her as his plan to take her money and get fame did not work out for him as she is just too smart !
This is brutally honest, raw and deep. You are a warrior!
❤❤❤
Jealousy is such a dark almost demonic thing to witness, especially when it’s towards you 😬 all I can think is “damn they’re miserable”
Wow when you said “it was embedded in my head, i’m bad mother”. That sentence right there hit me so hard it took my breath away. That is exactly how I felt and was treated… Wow.
I’m going through this agony right now (no child involved, thankfully) but yes, I have been living the rest of the full catastrophe, every single day, for years, and I get it. I sometimes want to scream “There is no one who understands this hell” The injustice is staggering, the lies, the manipulations, the veiled threats, and it’s a desperate and lonely place to be. Thank you for bravely sharing. ❤
Keep listening ❤️
I’ve always liked you! Since the early RHONY I will forever remember you being a great roller skating queen!
Ive also always been blue collar no matter how Ive tried.
Thinking money solves everything. Just brings different problems I suppose.
I happy for you. What you have come through so publicly is pretty amazing! You go gurl!
I can hear the pain in your voice. No amount of money can fix the heartache of being separated from a child. Your resilience is commendable ❤
❤❤❤
Bethenny, you should take a poll on how many people would still choose marriage & having kids now verses when they got married/had kids.
It would be a good topic for your discussion on marriage/divorce. It might open some young ppls eyes to not rush into marriage..
Wow! And he looked like a nice person. Never judge a book by its cover. If people show you who they are, believe it. How someone can treat the mother of his child in such a way is incomprehensible and disgusting. All the best Bethenny!
Wow Bethenny I'm so sorry! No one deserves to go through that ❤
❤️❤️❤️
He didn't want to divorce and he lashed out. Terrible. I hope you're in a much better place. I always wondered what happened. I'm so sorry for this torture Bethenny but you've always been so strong and I appreciate your sharing this with us. I love seeing your relationship with Bryn on IG. It looks like she's the sweetest daughter and you're the best mom! I think your relationship is beautiful. ❤
Side note, I love your friendship with Alex on the Rhony show. It looked genuine and you girls were the most alike and low maintenance.
Aww, thank you xo
So heartbroken that you went through all of this. This vlog is going to be so powerful for so many people.. Love you B!
Keep listening ❤️
Your Ex was such a dick. You don’t have to marry again… you can have a successful relationship without the paperwork. ❤
I hear you 💕 It is very hard to articulate trauma and feelings around divorce without feeling petty, sad, traumatised, gaslit , scared etc and words can't (sometimes ) make anyone around you understand the core of what is ripping you apart. Sadly It can be triggering for the rest of your life out of the blue. What you just hope in the end is that the relationship with your child or children is one of love and understanding because after all most of the time that's all we were fighting for to begin with ♥🙏 xx
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
Imagine the all the women who don't have the resources to fight a psycho through the system. You just give up. You can't skip work to talk to an attorney. You don't even have an attorney. So you believe you're the worst mother and you give them everything. The little that you had. You just leave it. You let them make the rules and you try to play by them. It's a nightmare.
So true. So so true.
Can really see how much you adore Brynn❤everything you have done ...putting youre daughter first her well being and making sure she has a good relationship with her other family members...shows youre pure love for youre child .You are fkn awesome Bethany ...if you see this comment remember you are an inspiration and when shes older Brynn will respect and appreciate everything you have done for her❤❤❤big hugs from uk 🫶🙏✨

This is my favorite version of Bethany! So important and hopefully empowering ❤❤
Now if you could only learn to spell her name!
Love that you watched ❤️
You are so brave Bethenny. I have been watching you over the years. I am very grateful for your vulnerability. I just wrapped up my two year divorce *not ten years* but it was five years of deep pain & perseverance (relationship-divorce). You carry so so much wisdom from all of your experience and you share it in such a way that it feels like you are pouring your heart and soul out to a best friend. Your testimony is going to help so many. I am truly sorry for all of the heartbreak you have suffered, from the recent loss of your mother to all of the torture in your marriage and divorce. I'm praying all of God's best on the journey ahead, for you and Brynn.
Aww, thank you xoxo
Bethany whilst I respect everything you achieved and everything you went through…you were in a privileged position with assistance and have finances to stay in hotels/buying apartments. I went through 10 years of horrific divorce with no money, with no means to pay for expensive lawyers and lost my twin daughters in court to their father who then poisoned my children against me. Acknowledge your financial privilege which most of us do not have
She has watch the other videos
You can be a billionaire and still be abused verbally and mentally.
I’m pretty sure we can acknowledge she has money and is privilege and it was still hard.
We are a middle class working family and had to save for months just to see our grandson after 6 months of not seeing him. My son's ex hates him more than she loves her child. It's so difficult to go through, having 0 contact with the little guy. We finally have visitation with him, I'm just so happy he's only 2 years old and we can start making memories with him ❤️
Thank you so much for reliving this horrific experience you are going to help so many women and I hope it helps you heal even a little and feel validated that you never ever deserved any of the treatment you received. So many of us women suffer in silence and you are giving us all a voice
So important to share with other women. Keep watching, spread the word!
This is heartbreaking Bethenny, I am so sorry you had to go through this.
❤️❤️❤️
I congratulate you for loving Brynn so much that she has a good relationship with her dad. Much love and respect to you, I have always admired your fight. You deserve happiness and to be just loved for you x
❤️❤️❤️
