I can understand the mother not wanting them to sleep together in HER house. But you're in a whole new house trying to impose your rules on two grown adults?!

[@tamikabennett3023]

Right. That is their "house" for 3 days. Controlling

[@elaine21bok]

Yes, they're taking it toooo far

[@cwhatic4u270]

Christians feels this way, but God said, if a man lay with a woman he is her husband not wanting baby daddies. We have enough of those.

[@BingingInPeace-ev3bp]

Right. It’s wild. It’s crazy how norms have changed. It definitely wouldn’t be something I would do in my family home but my family would never fix their mouths to talk about my bedroom companion outside the house but also, my family is afraid of me 😂

Horrible. I was trying to see but did the sister have a ring on? She mentioned children

[@Passion85031]

They are controlling and mentally and emotionally abusive. Shes going to have to choose and unfortunately it’s not going to be her family. And I think that would be what’s best for her. I hope she moved with her husband

[@Passion85031]

@@AprilHubbertshe need but she never said anything about a husband. I think she’s jealous of her sister. I’m only saying this based off experience because my sister is jealous of me. For example she’s in a relationship with an ex that I gave my virginity to. She’s also jealous of my sorry bd. Example he was buying me shoes as a surprise he was with her and she picked out the UGLIEST pair of tennis shoes. They didn’t even have shoestring’s. I’m 42 now I was in my early 30’s then. I love her with all my heart we are best friends at this point but I hope she deals with that issue of hers with god. I’m not in competition with anyone because I know I’m highly favored by god. So I get attacked emotionally by my family. I just pray about it and moved on

[@danyelgarcia3689]

It's not that she's prettier it's that her behavior and character shows up ugly as opposed to Bridget shows up aware, loving, giving, etc. Her sister shows up as manipulative, controlling by trying to insert herself and her opinion in places where it's completely unnecessary, begrudging and just plain unloving towards her sister. It's seems like she needs their to be a wedge between her mother and her sister in order for her to stay in her mother's good graces.

@Magique88888 remember when her family first walked up to the house the mom said in the voice over "Brijet was a very compliant child." That struck me as the thing that would be a challenge. Compliant meaning someone that followed her program without pushback. Then they acted like it was because Brijet may not be able to function without help. They have actively tried to keep her down while telling her it's for her own good.

I think the mother lives through her or sees herself in there and hates the reflection. Her family doesn’t want the chains broken and you can see she’s being set free. They don’t see the bride as an individual person or appreciate her as such.

[@JessTalkingBooks]

@@oliviamckin this is also true. They think of her as decoration, not a person. Just feels like there's more to the story with her place in the family.

[@emeliaskoog2882]

Yes, they wanted to go off on her at the blessing ceremony!

[@user-yv6ry2lc1t]

Brijet sister keeps making it about her, but no one ever mentioned her childhood. It's because of her reactions I put it together but Brijet only spoke about her. I love them together and I will give my blessing in leu of her toxic family.

[@dememurphy7859]

That's how you could tell she has issues!! She was so worried about her stuff coming out & how she looked on TV to the world she ended up looking crazy anyway!!

[@auntbee1776]

I don’t understand what her problem was she seems jealous of brijet and the brother will live in the moms house until he’s 40 with his virginity saved and secured 😑

[@trublkbelle]

Her family is crazzzzzzy. Girl go make a life with her your husband and leave those people behind. They are toxic

[@LeshaFBaby]

Her family annoyed tf outta me...its always a sister that does the most as well. She was explaining her trauma and her sister walks out denying it, girl bye!!! I see why she latched on to him and wants to be far away from them..glad she has someone to love her

[@batteleyyachtlife9957]

These two are beautiful!

[@TheMwendaa]

Agreed. Thinking the same

[@gi-gijay4114]

Her brother looks like a cartoon character.

[@dbrooks1287]

sound like one too lmao

[@lleebabyy]

And acts like one

[@TheMwendaa]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@camillelittler4284]

Using loved ones who have passed on as a manipulative tactic “on behalf of my dad”. Express that has your own opinion. And the to state that she cannot confide in her fiancee about her issues with her family is wild.

[@lizslusher6345]

And her saying on behalf of her dad… isn’t that not everyone else’s dad as well…how can you speak for him? Everybody’s relationship with their dad is different. Whether you are siblings or not sheesh…the audacity for me.

[@qzzzs]

Andre and Brijet definitely give sibling friendship than romance at least they have a spiritual bond

[@LaCreshiaify]

I definitely disagree with this. They were trying to show respect to her religiously conservative family. I see the spark, chemistry, and closeness. They way her fiance stood up for her was very affectionate

[@Justine2U]

Oh absolutely not. They give lovers, they’re just surrounded by judgmental, obnoxious Christians.

[@KnowWhat]

I feel like they were not comfortable showing PDA because of their families….especially the bride’s family

[@helena3631]

He’s giving 🏳️‍🌈

[@XC20248]

Always wanted to see this episode. A display of enmeshment/lack of boundaries. Brijet's family was hmmm...esp the sister is the typical holier than thou hypocrite. Edit: Her family is crazy

[@maureencoley4160]

I think her sister is jealous of her😮.

[@jessicatobias9371]

Big time ​@@maureencoley4160

[@brenetdavis240]

They need a mental evaluation like seriously

[@queen4c414]

I’m glad they took the blessing ceremony away.

[@shirokuriah]

First of all how can two.people be this gorgeous, beautiful and they love the Lord ❤ i mean how Andre was treating Bree just elegant... Like they are the perfect couple and then to have their family not acknowledge this is very unfortunate...

[@erikabush9222]

Break free girl Break free girl

[@ukbluebell09]

Brijet needs to cut ties with her family for now because they didn't enter into this process with a clear heart and pure intentions and you don't want bad-mindedness "blessing" your marriage.

[@patricep.9382]

Bridget's family is sounding fake, controlling and pathetic. Their father wants his daughter to be happy, relax.

[@tgber8126]

They r saying that coz the dead can't talk they're horrible

[@mrsthang3783]

That mother is controlling honey Chile….You see how brijet brother walking round looking like one of the Jackson 5 honey he bet not cut that Afro she will disown him

[@shawnee0718]

​@@mrsthang3783😂😂😂😂😂 you are wrong for that.

[@lizslusher6345]

@@mrsthang3783this hilarious 🤣🤣

[@naturallymoi8171]

​@@mrsthang3783wait a minute 😂😂😂😂

[@SthandwaM]

The sister stomping off while Brijit was pouring her heart out was selfish. She clearly expected the world to stop for her. I'm sooo glad no one paid attention.

[@efigreen3311]

What am I missing?? How Brijet expose her family by telling her story of SA??! Is it editing? Mama gonna have to cleave and leave!

[@BeautifulSamaria]

I'm confused too. There's more that's not being mentioned.

[@fp8237]

The shame of her being raped it's too much for them they don't want to be judged by the public or their church etc even though it's her story and her life.

[@amulen-lalafwirsiy7134]

“Blind loyalty is toxic,” says the sister who ignores her sister’s SA and shames her in the name of their deceased father lol yikes

[@guerlinemacean3684]

Terrible. She should be ashamed of herself. What about the part she hopes her kids don't see this video. 🤔

[@auntbee1776]

I love Andre’s mother. She’s so respectful of Brijet and she has a lovely spirit. I wish them both the best and all blessings.

[@invadingminds]

That sweet soul needs to enjoy her new life and leave them in the dust. Sometimes you have to leave ppl where they are so that you can continue to heal and keep your peace. That "mom" only apologized because she's on tv, she didn't mean it at all.

[@esthermuthoni4355]

It's a blessing that she has found happiness with Andre to find relief from her family

[@jazzydlite]

They eloped a year ago 💜. There is a video on YT. I Pray for this couple and he hope continues to cover her! Im glad she found her path to healing. God loves us all even in our imperfection! Thankful for Grace

[@brigittebailey5501]

So glad to read this! I was hoping they got married and moved on with their lives.

[@gordon8276]

Her family is so self-righteous!

[@americuswatt645]

This is the worst family ever.. what kind of mother would say those types of things to her daughter after what happened to her. Run girl and never look back... that is not love at all

[@carolinagirl2428]

Im soooo glad that the bride had the courage to express herself during the session with her family session. Continue healing, Ladybug. Sending love and support!❤
