Set her past mistakes aside, and this lady has been a great mom to Brandon this entire journey. Her concerns in the beginning were more than valid, she flew all the way out to them to be at the wedding, she offered an olive branch and her genuine heart to Mary, she was chill about munching on frogs, and she got real with Brandon when she saw him being in the wrong against Mary.

Honestly, she’s a real one.

    I thought she was incredibly kind and empathetic to Mary. She told of her concerns for their age and that they’ll have to work at it but also that she knows Mary will be a good mother.

      You have to also remember Mary doesn’t have a mom and has said that “everyone leaves her”…she and Branden bonded over parental trauma but seeing how his mom has come back and is trying to be a better parent seems to have softened her a bit. She sees it’s possible for ppl to change and she probably just really needs a mom…Mary needed this conversation badly. I have def not been a fan of either of them but I see the changes and hope they stick

        It’s also sweet to see how Mary was so receptive to her love as well and acknowledging how much she needs it.

          There’s an episode where he talks about the details of his family. I can’t remember but it sounds like he was in his early teens and was caring for her other children but then that all broke up and the young ones were cared for elsewhere and Brandan was adrift.

          Because she became an addict and eventually child protective services came and removed Brandon and his siblings from her house. Now years later she is clean and trying to rebuild the relationship
