Emma shared a video to her Instagram on Friday (August 29) responding to the reactions she’s gotten for their ABC special.
“What I knew is that by sharing some of our intimate information that we would see these two camps. It would be people with an opinion versus people with an actual experience,” Emma said in the video. She went on to say that caregivers regularly face judgment for the decisions they make in how to best care for their loved ones.
“Everyone will have an opinion, but you have to remind yourself that most don’t have the experience to back it up,” Emma continued. “Even if someone is closely familiar with dementia or the condition you are caring for, they aren’t in your home, so they don’t know how your person is behaving or your family dynamics.”
Emma recently shared an update on Bruce amid his dementia diagnosis.
