> After Strahan noted that the decision „kind of created a debate online,“ Emma, 49, admitted she „knew it would.“ But at the end of the end of the day, despite it being „a hard decision“ for the family, it „was the **safest** and best decision — not just for Bruce, but also for our two young girls.“
Safest the keyword here.
> „And, you know, it’s really not up for a debate,“ she continued. „Now I know that Bruce has the best care 100% of the time. His needs are met 100% of the time, as well as our two young daughters‘. So I’m not gonna take a vote on that.“
According to strangers on the internet, the family is supposed to drop everything they’re doing in life to care for him 24/7
This is one of the scariest things I can imagine. I feel so bad for his family and loved ones.
Imagine being a huge movie star and not remember it???
Let the professionals take care of him. His loved ones actually get to spend time with him instead of taking care of him.
They are very fortunate to be able to do this. Being a care giver is extremely hard on you mentally and physically.
Oh man, I couldn’t agree more.
Having had relatives with FTD, they can switch on a dime. One moment they’re lucid (though language was strained/gone) and another they were 7 years old waiting for their father to pick her up from the park… a man who died in 1962. They could be sweet as pie and then at another moment swing a fist. Bruce is healthy and probably strong as an ox. Attacking his wife or kids because Bruce isn’t there is unfair to Emma or their kids or Bruce.
I 100% support her on that.
Anyone who says this has never taken care of a loved one like they are proposing she should.
My mom has the same thing. It’s rough on adults to be around especially during sundown time.
I can’t imagine how hard on young children this would be. Living in the house? Definitely impairing their lives.
People want to think he’s aware and maybe unhappy that he lives separately now. He isn’t and doesn’t care.
>it’s really not up for a debate…. So I’m not gonna take a vote on that.
90% of the world NEEDS. TO. READ. THIS. PART. And think about it every fucking time someone else does something….
Why does this keep popping up? Are people actually upset with this?
My parents did something like that.
Yeah, it was incredibly difficult, but they knew that and took responsibility for that.
Yeah, people criticized my mom a lot.
It meant many years of hardship. Dementia was just part of that.
But nobody in my family regrets the decision.
When my brother called to tell me that my dad had passed away, I told him my dad died in the best way he could imagine. And our family became much stronger in the process because we all kept supporting each other.
Doctors and other health professionals helped a lot. A doctor even said that we took care of him better than the hospital could. Hospitals have tons of patients. We focused on one person, my dad.
So, I’m not against that decision, unless I see more reason to be against it.
When you live your life online….
nor should it be up for debate. jeez folks. you’re not living their lives, get over yourselves
People aren’t starting this, but people with dementia also often do sexual things to themselves or others that they wouldn’t normally do. You don’t want dad walking down the hallway naked, jerking it.
Not saying that’s happening here. But there are sometimes safety reasons to do this.
Anyone who criticizes this has not had to care for someone full time, especially not a dementia patient. My parents‘ neighbor had dementia. His wife and son had to dedicate their lives to caring for him, because they couldn’t afford professional help. They were stressed out and exhausted 24/7. Their entire house had to be „dad proofed“ which didn’t really work. He’d say mean things, he’d have outbursts of anger, he tried to leave the house all the time, he tried to steal another neighbor’s car because he thought it was his car. The amount of physical and emotional strain it put on his family was immense.
As a full time caregiver for my wife who has advanced Parkinson’s, it’s nobody’s damn business what she does. If I had their money I would probably hire help too
She shouldn’t have to defend this. She’s got young kids at home who are probably traumatized enough from losing everything they knew of their dad in this manner. It’s safest and healthiest for everyone involved, Bruce included.
Anyone talking shit has never had to be a caregiver. I honestly hope they never have to be. I don’t regret being a caregiver for family but it leaves scars
He has dementia. Dementia is a traumatic disease for the family. He has young kids who don’t need to be subjected to the horrors of dementia.
This is what would be what’s best for him.
I have no idea what’s going on with them, *and it’s none of my business,* can we leave these people alone?
The only people complaining about this are people who’ve never had to deal with dementia up close.
This is not our information to know or judge
Family is going through enough shit for people to have to question everything. Let the family do what the family agreed to do.
They continue to act like they are the first people to ever encounter dementia.
I kind of never want to hear any news about Bruce Willis and his family ever again.
Just let them deal with his health in peace. It’s not gonna get better. I don’t need to know about where they put him or how they’re dealing with him on a given week.
They’re lucky to have the financial means to be able to do that. Most aren’t so lucky.
I hate these debates so much. It’s no one’s business but the family’s. We tried to help my grandma as much as possible when my grandpa got really bad, but at some point she just stopped sleeping properly because he was so unpredictable and she was so worried about him all the time (now, at 92, she’s thriving on her own). People who haven’t had personal experience with dementia just shouldn’t comment.
