Does anyone else find that strange.

The man is suffering from depression and instead of his family rallying around him and visiting - they leave.

from her own twitter account:

We drove straight into … Canada (and lovely Buffalo NY) (Pro Tip: always have passports ready just in case you have to run away ) We talked about lots of hard things and how we will all have to face hard things. About the need to be gentle … with all and with ourselves.​

He should get into a brain rehab program that uses neurofeedback. Antidepressants are unlikely to cure the problem. Somebody of his status should be getting better care.

She took their young children, (Ages 8, 11, and 13) to Niagara Falls for a couple of days. There's nothing strange about that at all. Sen. Fetterman is going to be hospitalized for quite some time. Do you expect his wife and children to be at the hospital every single day? The children still have to go to school and life has to go on. His wife taking their kids somewhere to have fun and to get away from all the media hype and stress of their father being in the hospital is not only normal, it's good for their health and wellbeing.

I have always heard that when someone is having a psychiatric evaluation as an inpatient family is asked not to visit for a week or so.
Given some of the certifiably loco behavior I have observed in several Congress members, I appreciate Fetterman's commitment to his recovery.

A woman takes care to give her children extra attention while they are being subjected to a very stressful time in their lives and you’d like to make political hay over it?
Have a nice thread.

The reader will note:

I said nothing political in nature and merely made the observation that at a time when the man needs his family - they go on vacation.

From the link:

“He is visiting with staff and family daily, and his staff are keeping him updated on Senate business and news,” he said.​
What family is visiting? Certainly not his wife and kids.

Yes, and sad. One’s spouse comes first in one’s life after God, and then the kids.

On the face of things she seems like a lousy wife and very selfish, narcissistic person.

I wouldn't presume to judge their behavior. People with mental health problems need time away from their families, sometimes, so they can focus on their therapy.

How are you certain that his wife and children haven't visited him since he went into the hospital on February 15th?

Yes, she took their children to Niagra Falls for a couple of days. What about the other 12 or so days he's been in the hospital? How do you know she hasn't visited her husband during that time?

You don’t understand the scriptural admonition, friend.
Judging by your description of his wife as “lousy,” “selfish,” and “narcissistic” for taking their kids on a trip while their dad is in the hospital…. edit

From reading the actual link provided:

No update was released on the status of Gisele Fetterman, the senator’s wife, who last week noted on Twitter that she fled to Canada when her husband was hospitalized.​
Do you information proving it was just a couple days and they have returned?

Reading her twitter feed, it doesn’t sound like they’re still there.

Giving her children some dedicated time to talk about what is going on with their father, have some fun away from their home that was full of press waiting to invade their lives, taking time to show them love. This is what you call lousy, selfish, and narcissistic?

There must be something rotten at the heart of this because Fetterman took the place that should be occupied by someone prepared to make America great again.
I'm afraid of what's going to happen to this country without a tv huckster in elected office.
