When the child has more maturity than the parents.
Tell that to my dad who thinks he knows everything
No. When a child THINKS they know everything and can’t be told anything. This broad is a total bag.
@@sjlee100wonder why they have daddy issues? it’s almost like the dad was a terrible person😂
Than the father*
Spoiled
I was emancipated at 16. Quit school, and luckily I already had a job. My friends dad had a tiny, crappy apartment I rented for $185 a month. Bought a piece of crap car for $300. And I began my adult life. Got my GED. Moved up in the industry I was in. Worked like a dog. And I bought my first house in my 40's. Not an easy life...but it's mine, and I've done the best I could.
A lot to be proud of, there’s no pride in being handed something, no sense of accomplishment
You go!!! You should be proud 👏
I have just a little over a year until I'm 40, high school dropout at 16 while working 2 jobs but did eventually get my ged. I'm still trying to clear up some messy financial situations alone, that weren't created by myself alone. I've recently felt hopeless about ever getting a house vs this old trailer but your words remind me that a lot can still happen past 40. Thank you. You should totally feel good for what you've accomplished. I tip my hat to you, bravo. ❤
God bless you.
@@RachelR11 Keep your chin up. It wasn't until I was 43 when, for the first time, I sat back and thought...I'm gonna be okay now.
Stay positive, work hard, and move forward.
Honestly, it seems like Brett was smarter at 15 years old than most adults are.
She had wealth and a mother who helped her during this proces. Why are you giving her so much credit.
@@angeloc7486 that doesn't mean that she wasn't smart
@@JDthegamer209 never said that she wasn’t.
You can't make decisions when you're a child. The people who allowed this should be in jail. Child abuse!
@@0x54n4 Or, maybe it's not a good idea to put your kids through the pain of a messy divorce, which forces them to take matters into their own hands like this. She had a lawyer on her side anyways, it's not like she woke up one day and emancipated herself on her own.
And the fact that even though she had a rough experience with families but still believes in parents and families having a say for their child is amazing
Well, it is quite often like this, me and my fiancee had terrible background, and he is the best father I could ha e dreamt of, we built a strong healthy happy famille, so much love and laughter in our home ❤️
Amen
It's the difference between a woman healing herself or turning to feminism.
@@jacliveshere dude, I am still a feminist. Use your brain.
@@79Clochette my comment was not about you. But you made it about you. We are talking about Brett Cooper who is not a feminist. This is why I said that. But keep proving my point more ....
Goes under the classic line "not every parent deserves a child, but every child deserves a parent"
What about children who have murdered their parents?
@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 strawman argument
@@lechestain2048 No, it’s an edge case you didn’t account for. I didn’t distort your argument, I brought up a valid case where what you said may be questionable.
@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 the vast majority of cases where kids murder their parents theres a factor of neglect from the parents (sexual physical, or mental, etc.) Not saying that justifies the actions of murder but that is the motive for a lot of children who have murdered their parents.
@@lechestain2048 Still no excuse for murder unless it’s literally self defense. In which case it’s hard to argue they deserve anything. Some people are given the worst hand and turn out ok while others are given every opportunity and end up in jail.
She was really lucky to know someone close who could help.
It wasn't luck, there's no such thing. It was a blessing from God
Its not hard when that momma had dude on standby ready for her.
@@chickbowdrie4750that luck IS the blessing from the Lord. That is the blessing that he gave Brett to help her in her horrible times 😊
@bacxz3399 but saying it's luck doesn't give God the glory. Generally ppl refer to luck as some random good force when it was God's favor. As the Bible says, all good blessings come down from the Father of Lights
@@chickbowdrie4750
Go suck a bible. She was clearly lucky to know someone who worked as a lawyer who could help her out.
the fact that a woman with such a father still speaks facts about equality is truly amazing. respect.
Same thought
Literally my first thought. You'd think that she'd be some hardcore feminist who hates men and honestly she'd have a valid reason for it but she instead falls into the minority of women who actually defend us dudes. I salute her
Wow. Imagine that. Wow. Groundbreaking. Just.. wow. Amazing. So so amazing. Brett for President not like other girls just WOWOWOWWEOWOWW
Because people who’ve actually been through things don’t constantly complain
Umm really? A lot of her views are dehumanizing to people who identify outside of archaic traditional values. I think Brett is a beautiful and precocious person, but a lot of her views are deeply cold and I can’t follow someone like that.
The fact that Brett went through all this trauma and still isn’t afraid to spit fax.
Trauma ? I’ve been through far worse than she has yet no one’s supported me through it
@@grovesy333 1. Then maybe you should try posting videos and just try in general for more recognition. And 2. Just bc someone else is being supported for their struggles that doesn’t undermine your struggles. Also why are you so offended by a comment that doesn’t concern you?
@@galarianrapidash9483 You can’t say nothing about anyone silly pokemon child ahahaha what do you know about trauma at all to comment on anyone’s life what you going to do throw your pokeball at me ?
@@grovesy333 how does my hobby of Pokémon have anything to do with this? How do you know if I haven’t gone through any trauma? The fact that you came out of nowhere and started belittling people because you feel bad about your life just shows a lot about you if you thought that calling me a Pokémon child was going to annoy me then you are very wrong. And because I actually have been through trauma, I take this thing called therapy. You probably don’t know what it is. But I do really advise it.
@@galarianrapidash9483 Yeah well you can take your advice somewhere where it’s wanted child phahaha you haven’t been through trauma in your life I smell BS
Cant legally fight over effect as a dependent if she isnt one. That actually cuts half of a divorce legal battle out
@@ivannieves154 why are you being creepy

@@ivannieves154 you’re not creepy at all, one of the least creepy men on the internet actually. wish you well and hope you find a great girl.
@@Maxsmackhow is it creepy to compliment someone?
She was awfully intelligent to pull this off at such a young age. She knew right from wrong very well.
It was her mother's idea, wasn't it obvious??
Except the girl is very damaged. Easy to see she has daddy issues. Stay away if you are a man!
@@Gwildor2020 not only that, if she is so trad why not married yet?? Suspicious
@@Gwildor2020do you even know who Brett cooper is💀 she’s prolly the furthest from daddy issues
@@stephanie_sunflower trad does not meant must be married by 21. She’s only 21 and her life is just starting
My parents have been married 3 times. Each time it was because my father lost control of his addictions, each time he said okay have the house and the kids I need to find help. Each time he fixed himself my mom took him back. That’s maturity. Okay I need to leave before I ruin this family I’m giving it all to you I will be back. Beautiful story that’s lead me to the point where I have unending forgiveness to anyone willing to admit defeat
Now that's awesome.
my respects to you and your family God bless ❤️✝️
You can see it in her eyes, this is tough for her to talk about. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Brett... but look at you now. You're crushing it. Onward & upward 👍
When the 15 year old hires a lawyer you know you fucked up
Edit: I'm 30 with a public defender in a D.O.C halfway house which is still literally jail I'm going to start a channel showing how we living in a department of corrections halfway house. Shi is crazy. I wanna show the people where there funding and tax money are going
I have shorts up on my page about me at the halfway house just informational thanks you for all that subbed
Another edit: I got a sentence modification and got everything thrown out and the habeas corpus has been filed and pushed through we are sitting with the d.o.c lawyer next week. I'm pretty sure it comes from taxes that the state has to pay me. They should they sentenced me illegally everyone who took part in giving me 18 months jail time for failure to appear ONLY everything else was thrown out because it was from 2014 everyone who took part should get there life stripped from under them get there car impounded and have to sit in jail.
Luckily I'm a man and all this nonsense made me a stronger person and all this fighting with the state taught me allt about are government.

I was 4 when my parents divorced. Went with my mom because she loves me and my dad divorced her because he didn't know how to take care of me when my mom had to go out to buy food or groceries or work. He would just put on headphones and leave me alone in the room until my mom got back. Also they spent time apart. My father was falling for another woman and my mom was falling for another man. Both at the same time.
Love this comment. ❤

When children are becoming adults- time for the country to cease to exist ! RIP USA
@@elenamessick5617 Desperate times call for desperate measures. Not everyone gets the luxury of a proper childhood. Many children live on the streets and have to fend for themselves. It's depressing, but it's reality. Be grateful for what you have.
brett’s life has been really complex and i’ve only seen bits and pieces. i like how objective and open she is and how she still shows appreciation for the positive sides of her parents after she got some distance from the situation. we love and respect you brett, and i hope life is easier in the future ❤
This was the best for her and her family❤ She is so bold and full of integrity. I'm thankful that she decided and was able to share her story for the world to hear.
Never knew Ben Shapiro was a bad dad
Lmao this comment needs more likes
Holy, I thought I was the only one who thought she looked like him
And her mommy was a test tube. Ben's donors really created her in a lab to be a female zoomer version of Ben
Just want to let everyone know only two genders exist. I can’t tell all of you have no idea what accountability means. Also I be Yall parents are confused lgbtq rainbow people
I’ve been saying she’s female Ben Shapiro for the longest tine 🤮
I wish I had the resources and help to emancipate myself as a kid, my dad was out of the picture and my mother was physically abusive. Good for Brett for getting it done.
Rip
Getting emancipated isnt difficult and you dont need to get your own lawyer- but as a child how would you know what to do right? Children can call and have themselves placed into foster care, chikdren can inform a spcial worker and judge who they wish to live with or request emancipation. The judge will asign the child a lawyer and the social worker will assit in getting the child qualified for emancipation- ie housing, income, and school - must be met
@@1hanagima it’s extremely difficult and rarely approved and some states don’t allow emancipation. Massachusetts for example doesn’t have it.
The big thing too is you have to prove you can financially support yourself which is rate for a 15 year old meaning she was likely already wealthy.
I am sorry to hear that. My parents divorced when I was ten. They didn't have a legal battle because my dad didn't fight for me and my brother.
I got emancipated by the army it just takes a certain path in life to get there
Good for her. My parents just pretended everything was all my fault and they didn't know any lawyers and no one in my extended family did anything to help.
My moms side didnt believe my sister and I when we said she was a drunk. Eventually I opened up at some group therapy thing and what I said ended up getting my dad full custody.
Wish i had the option to do that as a kid, narc "parents" and their "family" structures are hell to endure
I’m 51, but tried to emancipate myself at age 16 due to severe child abuse. The judge threw me out of the courtroom saying I’m spitting in my moms face after she raised me. This was in New Orleans where the judge in juvenile court was used to dealing with problem kids and not a cult raised introvert who was very sheltered. I left home on my 17th birthday.
Im from Abbeville and I get where you’re coming from. I remember when I was teenager and being falsely accused of things just because an adult claimed it was true with no evidence. This state is too conservative to care about mental health and basic human rights.
At 16 can't you leave home though?
JW?
How are you now?
@@picklethepepperyou can leave home at any age really, but how are you going to live without a source of income, a place, or really a way to live that usually requires you to be over the age of 18 anyways. Many people wish they could leave but can’t because they would just die outside, unless they have a source of support already.
My mom wanted to force me to drop out and pay bills for her and her kid she had with her boyfriend. There was a shit ton of abuse and nonsense...I said no. Plain and simple. She checked out of the hotel with her daughter the next day and left me there. The manager wanted to call the police on her but I explained that I didn't want him to. I needed out and if being left there was my only escape option I had to take it. Never went back...been on my own since. Ended up getting my ged...worked on a farm then for a restaurant then landscaping...lived on couches and in my car...had my son...went to college...now I have a great career and she is still her same self. The way Brett said...because of the things that you are doing...that's real. People don't have to tolerate your behavior.
You are just an incredible person. You're amazing. Just incase you have't heard that recently. I just wanted to remind you how awesome and badass you truly are.
Im happy it worked out but calling the police could have saved you a lot of mishaps and heart ache- once cps gets involved you had the right to request emancipation and would have been placed at a friends, relative, group home etc until you got your place. you would have received a monthly check and would have been required to stay in school while the state payed for your aparment, car, and car insurance. You would have had the right to maintain adult foster care until 21 if you wished. A lot of teens fight foster care becuase they think they have no say in their own lives but foster care is an amazing safety net for kids working towards emancipation ❤
@@migzy4704 thanks man. That's really nice of you to say.
☦️
This happened to me but I was 25, my mom and dad were talking about their separation with me instead of each other, it’s a horrible situation whether you’re used as a pawn or a therapist the children no matter what age needs to be left out of it! Glad you got your emancipation and that you’re still close with your mom🩵
for a second i thought she said, “amputated myself” 😂😭
As a father, I am so disappointed in Brett's father. My now ex-wife tried to use my son as a weapon against me in the divorce. I refused to engage in that battle. Sadly, that meant that I lost all but supervised visitation with my son, and my ex doesn't even comply with that, but I hope that someday I can speak to him and make him understand that I only ever wanted the best for him, even if that hurt me grievously.
Worry not, one day you will get that chance. A good son makes sure that the attention from his father is deserved. He does not take it for granted. Your son I’m sure loves you very much. It is a difficult time, however I have hope that he hopes to reconnect with you too.
Skeptical. As smart as she is, I've seen plenty of divorces and it's almost always the mother who manipulates the children into believing that their fathers are monsters.
@@shawnsnow6413as much as I agree that it’s the norm, to be skeptical about this is pretty ridiculous. It could be 95% of the time which it’s not, but the details Brett gives and with the conviction she does tells me the father was at fault it this situation.
I can’t begin to imagine that pain. I’m so sorry for your situation, and I hope that you and your son will be able to come together in understanding sometimes in the future. Stay strong dude❤️
I doubt your story here. If you had a lawyer, you wouldve gotten shared custody if you wanted to. A lot og guys move far away and get jobs with weird hours so they cant actually parent properly.
I got emancipated at age 17. My mom and dad divorced when I was like 5. Had very little to do with dad,, saw him every other weekend until my early teens then nothing. My mom left my step dad when I was 15. Didn't tell me where she went. I was a dishwasher at a little mom and pop restaurant. Didn't have anywhere to go home to after work. Owners of the restaurant let me stay with then. Lived with them until I turned 17, got emancipated and legally recognized as an adult, rented my first apartment while working at big o tires as a tire changer. My childhood is what made me become the parent I am today. I wouldn't change a thing.
You are amazing 🥺

If anyone is in trouble and needs a lawyer, minors can request lawyers be appointed at the cost of the State. They’re called a Guardian ad Litem, and you just need to file a petition with the Juvenile Courthouse in your local area. 👍🏻
Most underrated comment.

Now makes sense why Ben Shapiro is not claiming her as her own daughter ... this is the perfect TikTok drama!
She looks like a female ben shapiro
Can totally relate to that. As the older brother, both my parents pulled me into their BS. Even before they got the divorce I was the one breaking up the fights. It really effects the kids. Especially when you have to explain to your sister why mom and dad are fighting 🤦♂️
Sorry you had to go through that
🥺 No child should have to go through.
@@negativeiqpoints396 all good. Doing fine for myself now 😄👍
your a really good persom
As an older brother, I watched my older sister go wild and my mother try to take my brother away against his will in front of my dad.🥶(She lied about going out to eat and had his stuff packed in the trunk.)
At times, I didn’t trust either, and for good reason.
I gotta say, when I hear her speak so calmly yet resolute I think she means the truth about her dad.
I watched my sister become a demented compulsive liar when my parents separated, and I have bad flashbacks when I hear someone say one parent did the whole thing.
One parent is usually more responsible, but to an uninvolved child there is no way of knowing who was right and who was cold blooded.
I wanted to emancipate myself at 16 going on 17, since I worked and provided myself food/clothes/ gas ECT and went to school full time I just wanted out of my abusive situation. I couldn't find a lawyer to help me. Thankfully I got out of my home soon after. Now I don't speak to either parent. Best decision of my life, it's been over 11 years since I spoke to them, still no regrets.
I'm hoping to be emancipated next year do you have any advice?
Where was this?
U are still hurting
I’m so sorry that your parents put you in a situation where not talking to them for 11 years equals your happiness. You deserved and still deserve the love and support people feel from a parent and I pray you find amazing people in your life that bring healing, happiness and love.
I feel you.. hope you living a peaceful life now
She is literally the most mature person I’ve ever seen
So being condescending is mature to you?

@@Lucy-mo7fh I'm just saying,,there's nothing mature about being a self righteous bully

Also, what does this video have anything to do with bullying? It’s about being emancipated bro💀
Wow...went through the same, didnt know that could even be done. My hat is off to you.
I have nothing but applause for her
As someone who has divorced parents and indeed have used me and my sister as a pawn in their issues, it’s great to hear that she got what she needed, in this case the emancipated minor status.
It's not WHAT you know. It's WHO you know.
This for every oppressed, mistreated, manipulated 15 year old who DOESN'T have a family friend who's a lawyer.😔
Exactly! At 15 I would've had no idea what to do in that situation and had no idea emancipation was even a thing.
Yes, and I am guessing that the family friend is no longer 'a family friend'.
It’s both. There are many lawyers that do pro bono work very often and if you do due diligence you can get it done. She did both and that’s why she’s where she is today. Just because you know a lawyer dosent mean you know how to get emancipated. You have to have the maturity to talk to your parents about it and go to a lawyer alone at 15 which is where most kids will fail.
@@monklord6098 There aren't any lawyers that do pro bono work. What are you smoking?
@@filthycasual8187 Clearly you didnt even read what i said lmao. If you actually take the time out to find lawyers who do that you will find them.

Think it is good that people share their stories like this.
So sorry you had to endure this Brett. I would've had no idea with how you handle yourself. I attributed your maturity to a wonderful family background. I am beyond impressed with how you're handling your life. Just amazing.
Incredible back story. I have waaaay more respect for her. So much love, Bret. I'm sorry you've endured so much.
When my parents seperated my dad in desperation wanted me to help him get back with my mom. I told him I'm your daughter and I'll be here for your while my siblings live with my mom but its not my job to fix this broken marriage. I went to church with him, go to the parks, and just spend time with him as he healed. 12 years later, both my parents are well and cordial to one another. We all even get together during major holidays and special occasions.❤
Fantastic!
She's so responsible and mature, going to her parents with this. She's figured out how to advocate for herself at such a young age.. many of us never get there. No surprise that she's now an advocate for others, speaking out about issues. She's an incredible woman. I hope my daughter is strong like this one day...
The girl is a walking red flag with huge daddy issues.
Brett is definitely someone that girls could/should look up too
@@nasa6267 she was an actor at the time she was getting paid.
Children can't be responsible and mature. It's biologically impossible.
They were manipulated and groomed into this ideology by conservatives. It's child abuse, plain and simple.
I'm sorry you went through something so difficult, so young 😔 🙏.
To go through so much and still have her head screwed on straight really says a lot! Hopefully she also ends the cycle
Bret just pulled a Matilda lol
The girl who played Matilda, Mara Wilson, is Ben Shapiro's cousin.
It gets even worse when you remember that her dad didn't even want her. Like, he hated her even before being born, and even wanted to drag her away from her mother just to hurt that woman... That guy sounds like a complete jerk... No wonder she almost doesn't talk about him... That's horrible.

@@BombonribonIt is insane that people portray the mother as a bad guy when she supported her daughter in this, almost as if the father wanting a messy divorce was right
I find it amusing that everyone hasn't heard the father's side of the story, as one of the adults in the situation, but will immediately jump to the mothers defense. When the entire story is known, then judgment can be placed.
@@LogicalCanadian I hope you use this logic when you hear men’s stories too… ask about the mother’s side
I feel for you. At about the same age 15-18 my parents were going through some of their biggest fights even with my mom leaving for a week or days several times. I wished I could’ve been anywhere else because they always want you to take sides. How can people that say they love you expect you to take sides?
At least my parents are still together but that made high school hell. I’m sure high school had to be very difficult for you as well
Her maturity and logic to approaching things is amazing at 21
Oh my goodness I’ve never known someone else who was emancipated!! I got emancipated when I was 17 (actually day after my birthday). My parents had gotten divorced, and custody was given to my mom who was incredibly psychologically abusive. My older sister was a paralegal and helped me get everything in order.
Well, you stand on my shoulders because I tried to too. This was late 1980s. The judges saw me coming and they realized they knew my parents. They said, “No, you many not.” Then behind the scenes they said, “Of course…get as far away as you can.”
Make no mistake. There were financial motives. She didn’t have to claim her parent’s income for college and could get funding for college.
Whole another level of respect for her!
I don’t respect her
If I had known that at fifteen I would have done the same.
You would have had to know a lawyer personally willing to work pro bono. Just in case you're wondering lawyers for family law go anywhere for about $250 to $500 an hour.
If this case is contested you're looking at a probably $10,000 case to emancipate yourself.
Somehow she got lucky and her dad willingly signed the emancipation papers.
If your parents don't willingly sign it's going to be a contested case.
@@seemlesslies you’re 100% correct. Sure it sounds easy enough but where is a 15 year old supposed to get thousand of dollars. She got lucky to have a lawyer who was willing to work pro bono.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 white privilege at it finest 😂😂😂😂
That’s hard. I can’t imagine having to deal with parents like that.
I can definitely relate to what she is saying. I also emancipated myself when I was 16. For the very same reason she spoke of.
awareness is something few people have
I had to get emancipated at 17 halfway through my senior year of high school. I had moved in with a friend and my parents were back in court over upcoming cost of college expenses for me. I refused to move back in with my mom and my dad lived an hour away. So the judge allowed me to be emancipated to end the conversation about college expenses. I finished my senior year living in my friends backyard shed. Living on the brink of homelessness for the first 4 years of adulthood was an experience but it taught me who my real friends and family were. Now 28 and married owning multiple properties, I don’t think I would’ve had the grit to accomplish what I have if I had moved back home.
being able to own multiple properties at 28 in this housing market where people struggle to get even one is actually crazy. Even with your grit and independence, it’s still insane that you could build that from what was basically worse than nothing? Good for you tbh but also how
@@che55ie nothing crazy. Just had the benefit of being in an affordable housing market at the time. I had moved to phoenix and then Chicago for short stints and realized how unaffordable to the middle class those places were. Ended up moving back to indianapolis where I am from. I bought my first house right outside downtown Indy 7 years ago when I was 21. I paid $42k for a move in ready 2 bedroom little house. Then bought the current one we live in 3 years ago with my wife. Did this by barely scraping the down payments together each time and not taking out other unnecessary debts. Kept the original house as a rental for passive income. That home has tripled in value but the point is here that you can still buy starter homes here under 200k. I don’t make a crazy amount of money. Just budgeted appropriately and prioritized what I wanted.
My parents just started going through a divorce about two weeks ago. They’ve recently started talking to their attorneys. Don’t know what’s gonna happen next just wish I was an age where I didn’t have to live with them while it happens.
You're also an egg.. so that makes it even more difficult
How old are you? My parents divorced when I was 3
I'm sorry to hear man
I'm sorry I am sure it will be difficult. However, I do want to remind you, what is happening is not your fault.
Sorry to hear that. You deserved better.
You can only emancipate under just causes, not just because you don’t want to be told what to do.
Dammmittt I'm so sorry ...you have been going thru so much since young ....and I'm truly sorry for you lost in your baby twin bro bro.....I'm so happy for you that you goals and dreams are shining likeba star ⭐....keep up your extrodinary work.....high five...🙌
There's a line in Beowulf that I am reminded of: Brett, at 15, _wintered into wisdom_
Mad respect, she is a treasure to be protected at all costs
Ok

Are you woke?
You certainly talk like a wokie.
I’m onto you.
Looking at her end up all okay after all this is almost comforting.
That’s sad. Nobody should have to go thru this
Didn't know this was an option as a kid. I was forever the pawn. If I was being honest with myself, I didn't even realise it properly till I was about 16.
I was so loyal to my mother that I just forgave everything and let it keep happening.
But after she left me with a stranger I had met just that afternoon, in a town in was in for just 3 days for nearly 2 weeks. Clarity hit me like a tonne of bricks.
FYI; I'm good now, this shit don't bother me too much, got a family and a home, I'm doing good
She left you with a stranger for two weeks? Man the cruelty of some parents in this world. Sorry that happened to you, and I’m glad you’re good now
You are so strong Brett. I love all that you do.
Not being a native speaker, I thought emancipation was constipation when I saw the thumbnail 😂
You are so awesome Ms. Brett! Keep doing you…
Thought she was Ben Shapiro's daughter the first time I watched her.
Sister actually
@@Bowiiihowdylol
Man, this explains SO much about her. (Fathers, love your daughters and love them well.)
@@waltermh111 lol you clearly didnt listen to the woman if you think the father is the good guy in this.
@@justonetime6179he didn’t say that’s what he thought AT ALL. As a matter of fact what he said was a cautionary statement in reaction to the dad NOT being a good father. Reading comprehension is key.
Agreed. Once you catch tidbits of her life, it makes sense. She’s had (or still is) a lot of therapy and seems to have been a liberal fem. All probably because of her father only convincing her men are terrible.
ridiculous. A child should never have to go through something like this. But regardless its still her mom ans still her dad
She had been earning more than minimum wage for some years at that point too
The more I learn about this woman the more I respect her.
Yes. You like most are gullible to the brainwashing by word of mouth.

I didn’t know Brett went through half this shit till this podcast. Crazy!
And that's why she's so mature and can think for herself in such a strong moral way. Good on you, Brett. Tho I'm sorry for what you had to go through. No child deserves to go through that.
while in Asia we're 40 and still living with parents and siblings xD
She’s so mature
And beautiful

Better Call Saul
I would love to have had a friend like her. She is such a breeze of fresh air.
This hurts my heart so much. Brett is such a bright and thoroughly lovely woman. I hope more than anything for her she can find a good and loving man to heal some of that hurt.
Imagine if every 15 year old had a “family friend” that was a lawyer lol
She was an actress in Holywood, it's not a stretch to imagine.
@@Jims5543wtf is she
@@lilbladeknight ?? Brett Cooper? IMDB is your friend.
@@Jims5543 Chick was in 3 shows and movies nobody has ever heard of, she's everything but not Hollywood lmao
@TheMarslMcFly how many shows and movies have you been in? I have been in zero. Therefore she was in the Biz.
It's a trait of being psychotic to think you're more smarter and more mature than everyone, especially at 15
I did yhe same thing at age 12! I didn't officially emancipated myself, however I went to my parents, told them they are not being good parents (lots of domestic violence and meth addictions) told them I'd be better off living with grandma, packed my bags and my mom actually ended up moving OUT and joined me. I saved her life that day.
You can tell which parent loved you the most.❤
A friend of mine in high school emancipated herself from her family in high school. Her name was Janae. Both of her parents were garbage, and she wanted and needed to move out. She was 15 years old. She did it so she could legally get her own place and be allowed to get a full-time job to support herself. She was granted emancipation. Her parents didn't even try to stop her, and her mother showed up to the court hearing drunk and high, and just called her a selfish piece of shit for NOT supporting her habits. The judge charged her mother with public intoxication on the spot. 9 months later, and Janae fought and won custody rights to her younger brother and sister, at the time 11 and 8. She raised both of them throughout high school, while working more than full time, and doing all of her homework. The teachers allowed her to have relaxed scheduling both for deadlines and for attendance, once they realized her situation. One of the toughest, kindest, and most resilient women I've ever known. Janae, wherever you are, you were and are beautiful. I still think about her even now, almost 2 decades later. You saved your brother and sister. And yourself.❤
She says im not very close wit my dad. U dont say😂
Emancipation doesn't mean you don't have parents 😅. It just means you are responsible for yourself and they can't make any legal decisions for you. They are still your parents.
you:🤓
Technically correct, but I would not still refer to a freed slave's former owner as their master. It would be in similarly poor taste to refer to her former owners as parents.
@@JP-sx7fq they aren't owners kids do have rights just limited ones
Doesn’t it also mean she can live on her own if she has the means to support herself? Or did she just get emancipated to not have to be used in the divorce proceedings while still living with her parent?
@riddlesangerissues3127 it means she's free to act as an adult. So yea she can move out and everything. It also means she's totally responsible for herself legally so she if she get sued for some reason it is on her not the parents now.
Wish everyone was that lucky.
Her story is just like mine, ahole dads have an impact on kids. just remember to respect and love your moms the way your dad couldn't 😢😢
Sometimes dads can love you too
yes ive seen good dads too, its just that i dont have o good one@@OGMercator
Amazing young lady. I'm genuinely very proud of you. Listen to you every day. I wish you much success.
silver spoon gets a lawyer at 15 lolol hahaha
With Bret being a child actress and having a difficult home life, it's amazing how mature and level headed she is. I can see why the DW invested in her talent.
Pdophile Matt Walsh probably had her early
She deff has a lot of issues. You just don't see them
