      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.

But they hurt her too much. My heart breaks for the pain she was feeling in public. While having to do it alone.

    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.

    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.

    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.”

    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!

    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.

    Bethenny, I cannot even tell you how impactful these are. Please keep doing them because we really need them as women. I as well married a “nice guy” who turned into a torture nightmare. He bombed me and I didn’t notice and a few years later everything I did was wrong, and he almost brainwashed me into thinking that. I started a business securities, education and licensing as in series 65 and series 7. My background is in financial planning and wealth management and he told me I would never be able to do it. I finished my MBA and my business is going. We just initiated divorce and it’s been a nightmare.
    I wish I would have known that you’re telling us now. I can relate beyond belief and keep putting these out there. I’ve always been a huge fan of yours for the past few years and read your book and watch you speak. Please keep it coming!!

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

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.

    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..

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Bethenny, this series around the topic of & you sharing your experience (which I feel no words can correctly express what you & your daughter went through...) In my own opinion, anyone contemplating getting married could do with watching first. If it helps them to write down questions legal or otherwise to get answers to prior to moving ahead with marriage, yee ha. You are likely helping many many more people than you may have previously thought.
    You are amazingly strong, passionate & resilient. 🤗

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.

    I wish I could reach through RUclips and see you in person and tell you that I understand, I KNOW THIS TRUTH. I LIVED IT TOO. I’m so sorry and my heart goes out to all of us that lived through this.
    I learned in my divorce that I am the o my one I can truly rely on. I have friends, I am remarried (and it’s wonderful), I have family- but the only person I can truly rely on is myself. I heard this when I was going through my divorce hell and it’s become my motto, “The Devil whispered to me ‘The storm is coming.’ I turned to the Devil and replied, ‘I AM THE STORM!’” I no longer live in fear and I know my own strength for the first time in my life. I don’t wish this on anyone, but I wanted to let you know I see you and hear you and I understand. Others only see pieces, only we know the entire truth and hell we survived. Keep on keeping on mama ❤

And the man they knew in public was quiet and charming so…I finally realized after years and years, that no body really cares. You cannot understand unless you have experienced it.

Unfortunately, you didn’t have great role models in that way. But, also how those childhood experiences affect who we pick in relationships. I applaud you for intentionally doing better for your own daughter. May you find peace and happiness moving forward.
