00:00We all had a chance to see your conversation with Diane Sawyer, which really was amazing.

00:06You revealed that Bruce is living separately, but where he can get help from professional caregivers.

00:11And also, as you say, in a safe and calm environment.

00:15But it kind of created a debate online.

00:17Yeah, I know it would.

00:18What do you want people to know, though, about that?

00:21You know, I think that, again, like what you said, it was a hard decision for us.

00:25But that was the safest and best decision, not just for Bruce, but also for our two young girls.

00:31And, you know, it's really not up for a debate.

00:35You know, now I know that Bruce has the best care 100% of the time.

00:39His needs are met 100% of the time, as well as our two young daughters.

00:43So I'm not going to take a vote on that.

00:46But you knew it would cause some debate.

00:47I knew it would, which is why I shed the light on that.

00:50Because I feel like caregivers are so judged.

00:53And it just goes to show that people sometimes just have an opinion versus really having the experience.

01:00And I'll say that, you know, dementia plays out differently in every household.

01:03If you've seen, you know, one case of dementia is one case of dementia.

01:07So you have to do what is right for your family and what is going to keep your loved ones safe, as well as your young children.
