I don't think anyone should fault her for leaving her family and doing BB. Everyone needs or wants the money. Kids will be taken care of as they have their dad and I'm sure other family members. Just because others (including myself) would find it unbearable to be away from contact with your kids and family for 3 months, others can gain strength on the fact that IF they win, it will benefit their family. There was one guy, cant remember his name, who was going to use his money to help mentally impaired kids and ended up in jail for not paying taxes or something like that. Whatever the reason for people playing the game really doesn't matter as it is GAME and in the end, the winner can do whatever with their winnings. IMO only Now, after all that, she is playing the game pretty well. She admitted she can cry in an instant and she is pretty much running the house. FORGET THIS POST. Thought I was in Helen's post. LOL
