My sweet daughter Candice...how my heart breaks for you, for the children, for all of us. Watching you suffer through this pain over the past few weeks has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. When my children suffer I suffer with them. Thank You for your courage, your strength, your Love and your talents. I thought coming out would be the hardest thing you would experience but this...this is so much harder, but know that each trial each pain you experience has and will transform you into the Incredible woman you have and will become! Thank you for what you have taught me about courage and Faith and Unconditional Love...and Thank All of you for your kind and helpful words of support, encouragement and Love! Candice you can gain strength from these loving people from all over the world, and know that your family and especially your Mama Loves you with every ounce of her Heart!
hey you guys, Don't hate Megan. remember there are two sides to every story and you are only hearing a part of mine. All people deserve to seek out their own happiness. Her version of happiness was different than mine. She's still the mother of my kids. Don't forget that you're only getting my side of the story. If she was willing to share hers, you'd feel more sympathetic to her. Don't message her- not questions- nothing. Let her find her own happiness. If Megan isn't happy, then all this pain is for nothing. I need her to be happy. Be kind. Please.
+The Berretts we respect u sooo much for this, if, i would get a life partner like u, i will consider me as a luckiest person on the face of the earth, u r not alone candice,i really love u
This is the best video. no seriously it's raw it's real and it's life. life is scary and we never know what the future will hold. I am one of those ppl who looked up to your family and guess what, I still do. you know why, because you are strong, humble and kind. you are a great mom and youtubers might have put ur family on a pedestal but they will believe because you believe. its very weird that I'm seeing this video today because yesterday at this time I was ready to throw my whole life, my family, and everything that I've worked for with my partner for the last 5 years. we don't have kids yet but we have 6 pets that rely on us like parents. I was unhappy and I thought that she couldn't adapt and grow with me as a person and as a mother to my future children. I was so torn between what would make me happy and what makes me happy. but after talking to her I realized I didn't want to leave. I want to be patient enough for her to grow into a very humble and kind person. so yes lifes happy scenarios aren't always what they seem, but life does go on so I'm sticking around for you and your family🐕👶👧👩👍 family is still family no matter if it's 2 or 200 and no matter if your related or not so everyone surround yourself with the people that love you and u can do no wrong.
Another reason to have so much respect for you. Candice as a 15 year old girl, I'm glad that there's women like you who I can say is a role model towards me.
I've been thinking about you and everything you're going through ..... And then I heard a song by Eric Church called "record year". Take a listen you might like it. :)
You're not letting anybody down, love isn't perfect, life isn't perfect. I feel as a part of the LGBT+ community we are pressured to always show only the perfect relationships, we feel we need to show that we are capable of perfect Unfailing love because everybody says it's so wrong. But you being vulnerable and honest and authentic and so so strong, that's what people will look up to because life happens sometimes and we are lucky to have you as an example of being able to push through!
Wow... you are so brave. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your story. This is truly just a CHAPTER of the whole story, it may be a difficult and sad chapter, but there is always another one when you turn the page. You have inspired me not only because of your family, but as a teacher (what I'm currently in school to become) and a mother. You will continue to inspire me JUST as much as before. The truth of your story and heartbreak and healing is just as inspiring and important as your marriage was. Every part is important. We love you. Thank you for sticking with us too. We will do the same for you!
I'm so terribly sorry. You are such an incredible woman and you have a world of people rooting for you. You don't know us but we are there supporting you and sending positive thoughts your way. 💕
I am 1.5 years out from my divorce to my wife and I know exactly where you were. I PROMISE it gets better. you are an amazing strong woman with a heart of gold for sharing and trying to help others by showing your feelings. Never stop feeling or sharing, the good, the bad, the ugly. We are here for your support
This is the most honest video I've seen from anyone on youtube in a long time. You are such a sweet, sweet soul. I am so sorry that it hurts so much. I have been there. You will get through this and you will fee whole again. Much love to you and your little family.
We love you. We are so proud of you. Our hearts are broken for you but we know you're going to come out of this stronger than ever. This is not the end. This is the beginning of a beautiful new life. Quinn and Tucker are the luckiest kids in the world to have a mom that's as incredible as you. ❤️
This. The bravery this took was incredible and I have so much respect for you Candace. You are so strong. I don't know what to say, as I am speechless. I love how honest you are in this video, even through heartbreak you are still real. Even then, you still manage to share what's in your mind so eloquently and beautifully. I have always loved the way you speak and how you express yourself. thank you for this video Candace. It means more than you know and I admire you. you are right though, happiness comes from within. if there is one thing that my brain injury taught me (bed ridden for 1.5 years) is that everything will pass. no matter how tough something is, it will pass. nothing lasts forever. that is something that has marked my life. Also, the fact that things could always get worse has always helped me put things into perspective. Being grateful for the things you do have and being thankful for your blessings is something that has kept me moving forward. Your strength is remarkable. ❤
Candice. I feel reluctant to comment on this because I don't feel like I can say anything that hasn't been said before but then I think of all the times that I have remained quiet when my heart is bursting. I have always been inspired by you. My wife and I sat here aching today and all we can think to say is thank you for sharing your truth. You have an army to hold you up. I'm sure this is true in your personal life and I'm most certain it is true of your TH-cam community. May God continue to bless you with strength, love and insight. -H&G
This breaks my heart so much ❤️❤️ I just went through a divorce last year and it's really hard, but you can do this and you'll be better for it. Just keep your chin up!!
Candice, I didn't hate this video, I loved it. Yes, it made me very sad to see you so heartbroken. But, I loved how instead of crawling into a hole and disappearing (as I would have probably done) you chose to own it and maintain your authenticity even if it's not pretty. Life isn't fair and def not always pretty but it keeps on moving. I think a persons true character shows not when everything is going well for them but when life sticks out a leg and trips them. It's what we do when we fall that counts. So thank you so much for this video, I can only imagine how hard, scary and painful it must have been for you to make this. You are a true teacher and your students and kids are lucky. I'm sending you much love and a hug. Also, you can tell from just pictures and videos how loved Quinn and Tucker. They are beautiful and happy children!
You once replied to my comment,explaining why you chose to stay in Utah despite the homophobia. I knew then how absolutely strong you are, and I have no doubt that the same strength will carry you into the next phase of your life. I know the pain is real, and nothing makes sense right now, but know that the sun will continue to rise and you will move forward with two beautiful children.
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. You're very strong to make this. You're so strong and you will get through this. I know right now it's tough, but you'll get through it. You are beautiful and she's going to miss out on an amazing woman. There's no need to be embarrassed many people go through this. Anyone would be very lucky to have you because you're just so amazing. I myself have gone through a rough break up recently and feel the same as you. Stay strong. Keep your head up. We're all here for you. There's no need to be scared we understand things are hard. We still look up to you. We still are encouraged by you. We are not let down. Gosh you're so amazing to share this. I couldn't love you more. Thank you for sharing!
What amazing courage you showed in making this video, sharing such deep feelings with us. I am so sorry for your heartache and pain right now. You have an amazing future ahead, you will find the right person, you will start to heal, find that happiness you know exists, nothing in life is perfect. You have amazing strength to share this -- people need to know that perfection, while something we all strive for, is what fairytales are made of. The reality is that we are all human, everyone is human and relationships and love are so complicated. Stories and raw truth like this -- this helps people immensely, don't stop making videos!! Our thoughts are with you...
I just watched your other video and watching this one breaks my heart. You're so strong and brave. You are my role model. You have no idea how amazing you are and how much your videos have taught me. Your kids are yours and beautiful. Stay strong it's worth it ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this chapter of your story. You're so brave and a great mom ! With such beautiful children, you can be sure your future is going to be awesome and full of hapiness and love! You will never be alone ! We love you !
My heart goes out to you and the children. It is a hard and trying time. I went through that situation 6 years ago and I had to keep going for my two children. All I wanted to say is it gets easier. The famous quote "it takes time" is so true. Sending you hugs all the ways from the UK. TC xx
I just found your channel very few months ago. I started living openly just 4 years ago. I was encouraged and even watching this I still am. You have an audience but it's still okay to only think about your little circle for a while, no matter how small.
Your bravery is unmatched. Thank you for being raw and vulnerable and I hope you know how much love is our there for you. You've helped more people than. You realize, too. I'm a straight exMormon who has been able to find authenticity largely through your story. Sure it was your whole family's story, but YOU are strong and YOU will continue. Your family will continue. Thank you, Candice. Thank you for your courage and generous heart. You've changed the world and will continue to do so. Sending so much love. 💞
Thank you for sharing. This sucks and I'm sorry. I had a similar experience a year ago and was completely blindsided. It's awful and I'm still recovering but I can tell that you have the right mindset to pull through this. No words can help this heartbreak but know we love you and appreciate you telling your story. Side note 🙌🏼 to Queen B! And your hair looks great
This broke my heart. You are so strong for sharing this. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for being authentic and know that despite your relationship status, you are a HUGE role model for many
Omg I teared the hell up :"( I just want you to know that we will always love and support you no matter what ! You didn't disappoint us okay .. Take the time off if you need to :) WE LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY & STAY STRONG .
I am so sorry for you! you are an amazing woman and we all are still looking up to you! you are also a wonderful mum and some day your two beautiful kids will be very proud of you! and I am proud of you because of your strength and bravery. you will survive this and you will be stronger than ever before. much love from Germany!
I'm very sorry you're having to deal with this. I am a straight woman married to a wonderful man. If he walked out on me, I would be just as heart broken. You will get through this and I'm proud of you for wanting to survive for those beautiful babies !
This makes me feel so sad, take time to heal - it took me a good few (many) months to get over a previous relationship that seemed to end in the same way, completely out of the blue and totally not how i was feeling about our relationship at the time, but time will give your head a chance to catch up with your heart and emotions, and then you'll be back to feeling good and happy again! I think it's, no YOU are, inspirational that you posted this emotional and difficult moment in your life, as it's something no one talks about but should to help others. But of course you're doing this, as you've been an inspiration to so many people. Thank you, and know that we'll all still be here to see the two little 'uns grow up!
I've seen this up for a week now but you were right.. i was afraid to click play and watch it.. but fear of the unknown was more scary than knowing what was in the video so i watched. I feel you, i commend you, and i will be sticking by. This is life. This is real. You can do this. We are all here for you. Your fight is our fight. You are not alone. We will see Quinn and Tucker as they grow older. We will be with you through this journey. You can and you will get through this. Take all the time you need. Baby steps... Rest.. Breathe.. Smile.. It may not seem so now, but it is a wonderful world. It's all gonna be all right.. You'll see... =) Love always...
One year ago i have watched this video and admired your streingt and the way you said it touched me I could feel you but I had my person at the time with me I thought man I am so happy that I have her with me I and that i have a person i can trust I went and hugged her and kissed her goodnight. Yesterday I found out she cheated on me with my brother. I felt the need to come to this channel again cuz your words expresse everything I feel. I am so sad and embarrassed and cant tell anyone and I feel lost. Thank you for the streingt to share your deepest feelings and help people like me to feel less lost and see how you can move on learn and get stronger!
I look up to you even more so now. You are incredibly strong, not an ounce of weakness can be found within you. I commented on your last video telling you I hope to be at least half of the mom you are now if one day I am one. I feel that even more so now. Keep your head up and your heart strong. We are all here for you no matter what, and I'm so so sorry that this has happened. I hope that one day you find someone who hugs you so tight all the broken pieces glue back together again. Thank you so much for showing us the truth. As a 16 year old who comes from a broken home I must tell you that your kids will be okay. They're going to hurt too, and maybe at times they'll feel at fault. I promise you though that together you guys will get through this. My mom and I did and so will you and Quinn and Tucker. I love you 💕
This is amazing! You think you have let us down, but really you haven't. I admire your realness, you're ability to see the light in the dark is admirable. the fact you have your beautiful children is a blessing. I wish you all the happiness in the world. i'll stay tuned don't worry. I have the greatest respect for you. Keep going, i can't wait to see whats in store. take your time to grieve, however much you need. Much love and hugs from Wales. x
Wow. You are so brave to take the time to make this video. You will get through this. Things will get better. And know that even though Megan's gone, I (and I'm sure many others) will stick by you. You are an amazing person and an amazing mother. If anything, this video gives me hope. No relationship is perfect, and this video shows me that no matter what happens, there is happiness within you. Stay strong.
This could've been word-for-word the exact same script (minus the kids) that I would have used one year ago when my partner of 3 years left me out of the blue after spending months unhappy and silent, on Mother's Day no less. It's unbelievable to be in this position when you think your life is the happiest and most perfect it'll ever be, but you'll become amazed with how much happiness is waiting for you, with and without her. My heart breaks seeing this video because I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone else, but seeing where I am now 370 days later and knowing how far I've come from this point is remarkable in itself. Your strength will overwhelm you, even when you don't feel like you have any left. Best of luck to you and your family
Ooohh sweet girl...I'm so sorry about your pain. I understand how you feel. Well, nobody can because your pain is just yours but I can try to figure it out. There is STILL people who look up to you...YOU ARE SO BRAVE!!! Can anyone imagine theirselves opening their hearts the way you did in this video? I don't think so; however, you did. That's great! Thank you for sharing. Good bless you so that you could keep going with that beautiful smile you have! Love - Romina from Cordoba, Argentina
O.M.G This is the most honest video ever, it is hard and will be for a whole, i don't have children but the exact circumstances have happened to me in the last 6 weeks, i too have to shut the front door to grieve because i don't want others to think different off me. Your words of encouragement help, i hope that you find happiness when your ready, please don't stop the video of you and your family
Candace, thank you for sharing your story and vulnerability with the world. the unknown of the future can be scariest thing. redefining family is so hard when your family changes. my dad left my mum (to be with a man) just under a year ago and i can see the heart break that she going through is the similar as yours, you love them so much yet the love isn't returned. i feel so blessed to have found your youtube channel what it looks like to be in a same sex family and redefining what family looks like for me in my future but then an added layer of what family looks like with my parents after separation when you went expecting it. sending love and laughter Laura
You have been on my mind since last night when I saw this video. I am a straight woman but I really looked up to your family, I could just see how much love there was and it truly inspired me. However, this video has inspired me even more. It shows me that things are not always going to work out the way we want to, but we must keep moving forward. Your strength is amazing and lately my depression has been back but this video showed me how important it is to keep fighting. I am so glad you have your two beautiful kids and I know you will find someone amazing when it is the right time. Do not give up. When you are sad, read all of these beautiful comments to get your strength back. Keep us updated because we truly care. I am sending lots of prayers from Texas, Candace. Thank you for sharing your story! Things WILL get better!!
Your honesty, sincerity and eloquence in a time of heartbreak is inspiring! I know your heart must feel broken right now and you must feel that things will never be the way you had once hoped. But with heartbreak comes new openings and cracks for the unexpected and wonderful to fill up. With sadness comes tears and after the tears comes a clarity that could have never been explained previously. With love, comes new beginnings and with that comes HOPE! Hold onto the love with everything you are! The love for your sweet babies. The love for yourself! The love that others show you through this difficult time. Hold onto the love and let it heal you and fill you back up, stronger and more resilient than before. Know that although most of us don't know you, we are sending so much love your way! Let that love hold you up until you are able to do it again on your own. It will all be OK again! You just have to hold on to friends and family until then! xoxo
Thank you so much for sharing this and trusting us with it. I'm far far away and can't help but I can pray and I will pray. You have my total support xxx
My partner and I recently broke up. And I did need to hear the narrative of a broken heart. It is hard to know there is light on the other side right now so thank you for your courage to share. I can't wait to see your journey. Xo
I don't even know what to say to this other than, I feel for you. And thank you for such an honest show of emotions. You've shown so much maturity and integrity with the way you are handling everything. Your babies are precious, hold them close.
I'm a single, former LDS, gay mom. It's so hard and I often think that the leaving partner doesn't think it through...... The pain on the children is so intense! 'I'm so sorry.... I understand your pain.
Omg this is one of my worst fears Candice. You give everything to someone and love them unconditionally and they leave and you're there heart broken, completly shattered, especially if it comes out of no where. It's one of the reasons why I fear relationships and opening my heart to someone. I'm like you Candice, I give and love with no boundries. I'm so happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I know while you are talking and sharing with us, you are healing. Sad because I wish this to no one. Love you and thanks for being so human and open about your struggles. Thank you for not disappearing!
I hope, as a therapist, that you, Megan, and the children are seeing counselors. This process has highs and lows. No one is at fault, and all of you need to know that. I have been so touched by your willingness to open your family to the world, to show that families come in all shapes, sizes, make ups. Keep moving forward. You are not responsible for how others respond to this. Despite being in the spotlight, you are all real people with real stories, real lives.
Thanks so much for the video!!! Don't worry about TH-cam, focus on yourself. I went through 6 years of relationship break up and I know how u feel and I think everything happens for a reason! I feel like if it didn't work with Megan, maybe there was a point in it, so you will have something better in store for you. Not that she is bad, I know that relationships break and now more even then before, but it's better if she left than both of you end up arguing and being unhappy. You are so strong. And I'm so proud of you for making this video. - Elena
This video made me cry, a lot, but Candice I don't know you very well but from the videos I have watched I can tell you are an extremely strong woman. Of course it's going to be extremely difficult because you thought you and Megan would be a couple for ever, but nothing is forever. You will get over this and we, your loyal fans, your family will help you through this tough time. Quinn and Tucker will be okay and so will you, just focus on your beautiful children and try to forget about the things that drag you down.
Candice, I've been following your channel for a while and many videos have really hit home for me emotionally. But this one, I believe, is the most hard-hitting. It's a lot easier to share the happy times than it is to share the heartbreaking ones, especially when you'd rather do anything but. However I think the message you're spreading is amazing and needs to be shared. Sometimes things end unexpectedly, and the only choice we have is to move on. I'll absolutely stick with you on this journey, and I know that many others will as well. You are, and will always be, more than enough.
I really appreciate this video. I'm going through the same thing now. Was with her for 6 1/2 years and have a son together... I know how bad it sucks! I just hope I can get over this bad situation too.
There are no words I have for how much I admire you. You're real and honest. You have a beautiful family. I am so sorry that you're in pain. Those sweet little darlings will love you unconditionally. Keep your head up and your heart strong. Thank you for sharing parts of yourself, even the painful ones, with us.
I am so sorry... It breaks my heart to see you heartbroken yet, it gives me hope that you are so strong. I know what it feels like, my partner and I broke up too and it is still very raw and some days I feel lost. My hope is that the knowledge that the darkest part of the night it is right before the sunrise. I too have 2 incredible boys, they are 28 and 26 years old, and the lighten up my life. Remain strong, cry when you need to, it does not make you weak, but it soothes your soul. I will keep on watching your videos and look forward to see when you smile again because you have healed. Blessings and hugs with much love!
Hey Ms. Green. I really understand you right now. I'm going through the same thing, but you're very brave & strong. You're the best teacher I ever had, & a true role model to me, all my writing & creativeness blossomed with your help. I know you can do anything you want, cause you always showed that nothing is impossible to do. I believe you'll find a new adventure one day, nothing is ever wrong with you. I thought I was the problem, that I could be better. But, truth is I can't, & you can't either. Because, you're yourself. There is no one who could be you, nobody has your memories, DNA, or uniqueness. You're a beautiful soul. I still love you, your family, & Ms. Berrett. Keep being you, keep being the wonderful person you are.
I am so sorry that this happened. As a gay woman in her early 20s, your family has been an inspiration to me and will continue to be. While it's devastating to see such a beautiful family in such pain, I think everyone realizes that we are all human and no one is perfect. Your willingness to continue to vlog and show that even when things don't work out the way originally planned, life can and will go on, is truly courageous. You are so brave. Never be ashamed or scared of sharing your truth. Sending love and positive vibes your way. Stay strong for those kiddos Mama.❤️
It's not your responsibility to keep up to other's expectations. A lot of people look up to you, but you don't need to apologize to them for something that is not your fault. I promise you that you're not letting anyone down. You still have two beautiful kids and you still are an amazing person. Draw strenght from the ones who are close to you. You'll make it. I'm sending you a virtual hug and all my love from italy
My wife and I have always looked to you and Megan. This doesn't change anything. You still both are amazing people and are raising two beautiful children! Things change. Struggles are real. I was crying right along with you. Thank you for your transparency ❤️
I came across your TH-cam channel a while back and was really inspired by it. It gave me light and a hope. But I think you can still do that, you can still be an inspiration. You can still show us how to continue on with out lives and do greatness even when things don't work out the way you want them to or thought that they would. I hope you do still continue with your TH-cam channel and your story. You still have a lot of hope to share.
We totally feel your pain and wish this wasn't so. But like you said - sad things happen. We are sending you love and support and want to see you come through this. Be brave, be scared, be sad - but don't be down on yourself.
I am so so sorry. You are so brave for posting this video. You need to take care of you everyone else will be alright and everyone watching this is better for witnessing your strength and hearing your story
my heart goes out to you , you are such a strong and brave individual . you are an amazing mother and woman ! I wish you all the luck and love getting through this tough time ! you are an inspiration . Thankyou for being brave enough to share such a raw emotional vlog.
Dear Candice, we are so sorry but you shows with this video the courage you have to go through this hard chapter in your life. Quinn and Tucker are your reasons for hope and struggle. Hugs from Perú
this is heart breaking. i'm really sorry you're going through this but i'm confident you'll be ok! you've been here for us when we needed it now it's our time to be here for you! you're beautiful and brave, hang in there. this too shall pass! love from italy
Candice, the amount of courage it took for you to make this video speaks volume of the kind of mother, individual and woman you are. You are loved by so many and you will be happy. This isn't the end; happiness and love will find its way back to you..but guess what? It's already there in the form of your family, friends and children. You are beautiful inside and out Peace and love
I hope you read this but I want you to know that out of all the you tubers you resignate so strong w me you are brave,sincere, authentic and passionate. I want to thank you for sharing your life with all of us strangers! I am sorry to hear about your heart ache but that relationship was not why I joined your channel.. I admired you for your passion and sincerity for being open and gay in such a conservative place like Utah! I am thankful for having stumbled across your channel you have giving me hope on just being more comfortable in my own skin! Although you may feel embarrassed about your relationship please dont it is only a part of your story to what you have giving to so many of us !!! So thank you!
Candace you have given a voice to so many people (including myself) and for that I cannot thank you enough. When I first came out I thought that everything I've ever wanted (mostly to be a mum) would be taken from me, you showed me it doesn't have to be that way. Nobody is perfect and I am certainly not expecting you to be perfect, your human after all. I am so sorry for you that your heart is breaking you really do not deserve this pain. I am a big believer in everything happening for a reason. We may not understand the reasons right away and that's frustrating but it's okay. You are a wonderful person and I really think that as i said this is happening for a reason and that amazing things are are going to come your way in the future. You have the most beautiful children who couldn't ask for a better mother
Candice, you could never let us down. Your family was a beautiful model of what our lives could look like and no one can take that away. You will continue to be a role model for a lot of young people, like me. I come from a broken home and I can guarantee you that as long as you love your kids as much as you do and continue to tell them how much you support them every day, it will all work out. Your videos inspire all of us and nothing can ever change that. You are so strong for making this video and I wish you the best in life. You will get through this. You have taught us all a lot about happiness and being ourselves. You have made many of us smile and believe in ourselves. Stay strong. We love you! -M
I'm so sorry to hear about this, Candace. May your heart be healed. May your kids be blessed. You will get through this. Thanks for being real and sharing the truth through this whole situation!
God bless all of you.. You, Megan and the kids. I pray that he will give you more strength and love during this time of difficulty. Whatever your path is I'm sure it will be a beautiful one. You still remain one of my favourite families on TH-cam.
i can't pretend i know what you are feeling Candace. but what i can say is that i had gone through something like that once. Yes, it's gonna feel like the world is ending. But it gets better. Everything happens for a reason and for the best. Like you said, one year before, u would never have thought you would be at this stage and i am positive that next year you wont believe how far you have come from here. Raise that head high and know that you have the strength to get through this. Much Love
Don't worry about your children. Plenty of parents have divorced but remained STRONG co-parents and I know from first hand experience. I am 100% sure that you guys will make everything work for the better in one way or another, together or apart, for the better. Rely on your faith. We are ALL here for you.
Words cannot describe how much I want to give you a big hug. You are truly an inspiration. It's hard to know what to say during this situation. All I can say is that we are here for you. Whenever you need a big Internet hug. We are here. You are so beautiful and so loved Candice. I am praying for you and your family.
I guess you can say for the past couple days I have been binge watching this channel. In a matter of moments i fell in love with the story. And when I clicked on this video, I didn't even look at the title. And then it began the tears and the fidgeting with the wedding ring and my heart sank. And it took the whole video, for me to really know why my heart sank so much. And it's because a part of me for the past couple days was happier; I felt lighter. And then this video came and knocked the lightness away. But even as I am typing this I am realizing that even though is sucks, it makes the relationship all the more normal. Which gives me faith that one day my future relationship will be just as normal as the heterosexual couple sitting next to me. There is so much pressure to show everybody that gay families are not bad, and that its not going to ruin children, that we forget the parents are just humans. We can't put all this pressure on them to succeed. The fact that the romantic relationship has ended sucks, but know we as the viewers have the chance to watch as both of you guys put your children first, we get to see a side of you we haven't had the chance to see yet. I'm not the best with words, but please know Candice I still see you as a role model, and I still believe in Megan. I believe that you both will love your children with all your heart and soul, and that's all anybody can ever really ask for. So thank you for this video and I can't wait to see the growth and strength I am sure you both will show.
Whatever the circumstances, you always give me hope. I can't wait to find out what your future, and your family's future, holds. Thank you for always being honest and for sharing this heartbreaking part of your life with us.
You're beautiful, inspiring and brave. I'm happy that you have those two little ones to keep you going. I wish love and light for you. Thank you for this video and thankyou for deciding to continue to spread your light.
You are beautiful inside AND out. Don't be embarrassed, but it's ok to be scared because it's in these situations that we see the person that we really can be. You have 12,107 friends just on TH-cam. We would never think you were a fraud. We still look up to your family. It makes no difference from a heroine point of view if you are still in a relationship or if you are in a successful co-parenting relationship. Please don't delete your channel as the message is still relevant. I'm in the UK so your message reaches around the world. We love you. Lucy staffordshire England xxx
Remember the first time I saw a video of your family and I thought wow that's a perfect family wish one day I have one like yours. Today... I now I wish to be as strong as you. Life isn't perfect but now I just finished watching all your videos and I'll say it again... YOU 3 (YOU AND YOUR KIDS) ARE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND WISH I HAVE ONE LIKE YOURS.
It's really sweet that you still, even during this hard time, think about us... about people who watched your family grow and prosper.. don't forget that we are still here and we send you the energy, and positive vibes for you to carry on... I know it is hard now but also I know that it's alway darkest before the dawn...life has it's ups and downs and it goes like this all the time... so take your time to be sad but never forget that you have two beautifull children and eventually it gets better ;)
I hated hearing this. You and Megan were my role models and hope for the future and you both still are. Life isn't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. Thank you so much for sharing this and deciding to keep your channel. Stay strong and I wish you and those beautiful babies all the best.
I was waiting the whole video to hear you telling us that this was a joke... I can't believe it!!! I am so sorry... All our support from Spain. You were and still being a great family model for my partner and me. Good luck both of you!!
Got through the whole thing finally...hard to watch, but you had already opened up to me in an unexpected way that one day...I had always wanted to meet you two & a few months earlier, maybe longer than that when you were still pregnant with Tucker I saw you leaving Bed, Bath & Beyond as I was coming & wanted to say hi & show support but opted not to in fear of just being another person doing the same thing..I figured i'd never have an opportunity again, but when we met in line at Target I wasn't expecting the response when I said hi & mentioned I enjoyed your videos...you know the stuff I have said to you, so not going to repeat it because it was just for you...but your bravery, vulnerability and openess is something strong, not weak..relationships are easy to leave when bored, frustrated, stagnant, etc but difficult to work through, work at..There are always 3 sides to every story so to speak, the 2 involved & the truth, so although there is hurt, anger &, frustration on both sides, try to keep in mind the friendship & love you have had & use that to treat each other with respect while working though whatever the new "you" is...you don't ever owe anyone any explanation even if you chose to be public, whatever you discuss, keep doing it your way. You may or may not end up back together..its so early on in this process that all the emotions are new, raw, up & down..you did this video beautifully. I think respecfully, with restraint, tact & class but still were truthful..when she is ready she may provide her side, maybe not. Just always put yourself in the place of the other person & do what you would want them to do, say what you would want said about you or not say...I am sending you positive energy everyday, to you, Megan, the kids & your family, Im always hear to listen & thank you for being open with me that day. Im so glad I know such a great person.
Thank you for being so open, and so honest. You are inspiring to everyone and don't EVER feel like you have let any of us down. Your story is important...every single part of it and I'm so honored that you allow me and so many others to be even the tiniest part of it. Life will knock you down and you will have to find ways to pick yourself up and find strength you never thought you had. But know that there are people behind you, people who you may not even know, who are cheering for you.
I've just stumbled across this video a week after the exact same thing happened to me. I thought my girlfriend and I were so happy. We were planning to move country together soon and get married soon and then totally out the blue she told me "I don't think I love you anymore. I don't want to stay in this relationship" The worst part is she told me by text, she couldn't even say it to me in real life. I wanted to talk about it and work out the problems but she is too stubborn. I'm utterly heartbroken and I miss her so much. I just can't believe that I thought we were both so happy when she was only looking for a way to end it. I hope in the future it gets better because right now it really sucks
Ms. Candice I know how it feels to have someone leave my Dad a few months ago just up and left us and our mom with everything wrong and we've had to fight for everything since. It was totally heartbreaking the first few months to know that after 17 years he could just leave but it's all for the better and you should see it as that too. I'm sorry for everything that's happen but it all does for a reason and life does continue I was watching then and I'm still here no matter what :)
You have everyone here's support! I had to go thru this in January of this year. You get over it. I thought I never would. I love you and #thequinn AND Tuck!
I'm so glad that you've chosen to share this part of your story. This part is just as important, valuable, and beautiful as the others to share with the world. I know it hurts, but I can tell that you're going to come out of this stronger than you ever thought you could be. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Candice. Keep your chin up. You've totally got this.
Thank you so much for opening up. I don't think I will ever be able to understand the pain you are going through but I'd like you to know that u have your family's support and our support 150% of the way. You are truly an inspiration. Blessings go out to you and to your family. Please let us help you! Let's start a new chapter under a completely new light! Also.. One more thing I'd like to add is that you are pretty and you are beautiful and wonderful and smart and brave and I'm not just saying these things. It's true. We all see it. you will get through all of this. :) we are definitely sticking around :)
You both seem like two strong, amazing women. It's just how it works sometimes. I've been in Megan's shoes and the guilt can be overwhelming. But forcing yourself to stay in a relationship is equally damaging for both. Obviously I don't know her story, but leaving is sometimes the best thing and ALWAYS the hardest thing. I hope you guys find peace and make it all about those kiddos. Probably doesn't feel like it right now, but everyone will heal and life has so much more to give you both.
There's nothing much that I can say, but I feel compelled to say something. I'm 19. You are such a strong woman, I see women like you all the time. Women who conquer, overcome and do what's best for themselves and for their kids. It's easy to show the world the high points in life but hard to show yourself picking up the pieces. I know a few things about heartbreak, but the most important is; there is so much beauty, love and happiness on the other side of it. You will always be surrounded by love. You have your kids, a dog, and the love of some many people. You will heal, you will be become stronger. Much love, from a random fluffy.
Accidentally I came across one of your video when you were with her, that was so beautiful, but then I read this video's title, made me "should I watch this video?", and I'm so glad to watch this video. Exactly 2 years ago this video was uploaded, I'm so sorry for what happened to both of you. Watching this video makes me want to give you a big hug. And you, you're really a strong woman and I believe you've became even more stronger now day by day, you're very lucky for having two adorable beautiful angels. I wish more happiness in your life and for your little family ❤❤❤❤ Big love for you from your new subscriber from the other side of the world ❤❤❤
My heart is breaking for you Candice. You are so much stronger than I could ever be in a situation like that. I am in actual awe of your bravery and your honesty. Thank you so much for being willing to share with us. You know you can take as much time as you need and we will all be here for you. Please don't ever feel like you're letting us down. I know for me personally, I did look at your family and see what I wanted my future to look like, but that's the thing about the future... it's no one else's to plan. I have total faith in the fact that you and your family will continue to smile and, in turn, make others smile right along with you. But PLEASE don't ever feel the need to apologize for anything. Life is messy and complicated and hard as hell sometimes, but you have two incredible babies to share it with and I know they see that light you described shining out of them, shining right back out of you. You are everything to them and that, in itself is an accomplishment. I have been a subscriber for quite awhile, and I will continue to remain one because I cannot wait to see you conquer life with your beautiful babies by your side. I hope you find peace in the fact that you continue to be a model for what I want my future to look like. If I am as strong and brave and passionate as you someday I will consider my life to be a success, no matter what my circumstances are. Thank you for being there for us Candice. I'll continue to be here for you. Sending so much love from MA. -Kalie J. xoxo
"Keep your head up, keep your heart strong" by Ben Howard is what helped me through my last break-up... Believe me you are going to get through this and the time after will be so much more appreciated. You do not have to be prettier as you are the most beautiful human being inside and out. It is hard but you are right your two children are giving you strength - a breakup with no other responsibilities is sometimes a huge meltdown. Take it on a day-to-day basis, admit the feelings you have (even if it is after a year), let them be... Your are going to get out of this much stronger, better and - in the end - happier.
Hey Candice. Someone really close to me suddenly left me pretty recently. I remembered watching your videos about your divorce a couple years ago and even though it's a different situation they really resonate with me right now. I keep coming back to this video and your when the fairytale ends video. they help me a lot right now to process and give me hope that I'll be okay. so thank you so much for sharing it means a lot
You are incredible, and we appreciate you sharing this difficult time with us. This is real life, too and that's okay. You are not letting us down. We are sad, but with you 💕

My sweet daughter Candice...how my heart breaks for you, for the children, for all of us. Watching you suffer through this pain over the past few weeks has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. When my children suffer I suffer with them. Thank You for your courage, your strength, your Love and your talents. I thought coming out would be the hardest thing you would experience but this...this is so much harder, but know that each trial each pain you experience has and will transform you into the Incredible woman you have and will become! Thank you for what you have taught me about courage and Faith and Unconditional Love...and Thank All of you for your kind and helpful words of support, encouragement and Love! Candice you can gain strength from these loving people from all over the world, and know that your family and especially your Mama Loves you with every ounce of her Heart!
I watched your video of when you and Candice had the interview..you're an awesome mom ❤
Took a strong person to make this video. Life is beautiful but it isn't always perfect. Focus on the beauty and don't try to make it perfect. ❤️
I think Candice needs to move to NY so you three can be best friends and Lenn can be best friends with Quinn and Tucker!!!
hey you guys, Don't hate Megan. remember there are two sides to every story and you are only hearing a part of mine. All people deserve to seek out their own happiness. Her version of happiness was different than mine. She's still the mother of my kids. Don't forget that you're only getting my side of the story. If she was willing to share hers, you'd feel more sympathetic to her. Don't message her- not questions- nothing. Let her find her own happiness. If Megan isn't happy, then all this pain is for nothing. I need her to be happy. Be kind. Please.
+The Berretts we respect u sooo much for this, if, i would get a life partner like u, i will consider me as a luckiest person on the face of the earth, u r not alone candice,i really love u
This is the best video. no seriously it's raw it's real and it's life. life is scary and we never know what the future will hold. I am one of those ppl who looked up to your family and guess what, I still do. you know why, because you are strong, humble and kind. you are a great mom and youtubers might have put ur family on a pedestal but they will believe because you believe. its very weird that I'm seeing this video today because yesterday at this time I was ready to throw my whole life, my family, and everything that I've worked for with my partner for the last 5 years. we don't have kids yet but we have 6 pets that rely on us like parents. I was unhappy and I thought that she couldn't adapt and grow with me as a person and as a mother to my future children. I was so torn between what would make me happy and what makes me happy. but after talking to her I realized I didn't want to leave. I want to be patient enough for her to grow into a very humble and kind person. so yes lifes happy scenarios aren't always what they seem, but life does go on so I'm sticking around for you and your family🐕👶👧👩👍 family is still family no matter if it's 2 or 200 and no matter if your related or not so everyone surround yourself with the people that love you and u can do no wrong.
Another reason to have so much respect for you. Candice as a 15 year old girl, I'm glad that there's women like you who I can say is a role model towards me.
You are truly the biggest person I've ever come across
I've been thinking about you and everything you're going through ..... And then I heard a song by Eric Church called "record year". Take a listen you might like it. :)
You're not letting anybody down, love isn't perfect, life isn't perfect. I feel as a part of the LGBT+ community we are pressured to always show only the perfect relationships, we feel we need to show that we are capable of perfect Unfailing love because everybody says it's so wrong. But you being vulnerable and honest and authentic and so so strong, that's what people will look up to because life happens sometimes and we are lucky to have you as an example of being able to push through!
Wow... you are so brave. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your story. This is truly just a CHAPTER of the whole story, it may be a difficult and sad chapter, but there is always another one when you turn the page. You have inspired me not only because of your family, but as a teacher (what I'm currently in school to become) and a mother. You will continue to inspire me JUST as much as before. The truth of your story and heartbreak and healing is just as inspiring and important as your marriage was. Every part is important. We love you. Thank you for sticking with us too. We will do the same for you!
Well said 😊
i couldn't have said it better!❤
I'm so terribly sorry. You are such an incredible woman and you have a world of people rooting for you. You don't know us but we are there supporting you and sending positive thoughts your way. 💕
I am 1.5 years out from my divorce to my wife and I know exactly where you were. I PROMISE it gets better. you are an amazing strong woman with a heart of gold for sharing and trying to help others by showing your feelings. Never stop feeling or sharing, the good, the bad, the ugly. We are here for your support
This is the most honest video I've seen from anyone on youtube in a long time. You are such a sweet, sweet soul. I am so sorry that it hurts so much. I have been there. You will get through this and you will fee whole again. Much love to you and your little family.
We love you. We are so proud of you. Our hearts are broken for you but we know you're going to come out of this stronger than ever. This is not the end. This is the beginning of a beautiful new life. Quinn and Tucker are the luckiest kids in the world to have a mom that's as incredible as you. ❤️
This. The bravery this took was incredible and I have so much respect for you Candace. You are so strong. I don't know what to say, as I am speechless. I love how honest you are in this video, even through heartbreak you are still real. Even then, you still manage to share what's in your mind so eloquently and beautifully. I have always loved the way you speak and how you express yourself. thank you for this video Candace. It means more than you know and I admire you. you are right though, happiness comes from within. if there is one thing that my brain injury taught me (bed ridden for 1.5 years) is that everything will pass. no matter how tough something is, it will pass. nothing lasts forever. that is something that has marked my life. Also, the fact that things could always get worse has always helped me put things into perspective. Being grateful for the things you do have and being thankful for your blessings is something that has kept me moving forward. Your strength is remarkable. ❤
Candice. I feel reluctant to comment on this because I don't feel like I can say anything that hasn't been said before but then I think of all the times that I have remained quiet when my heart is bursting. I have always been inspired by you. My wife and I sat here aching today and all we can think to say is thank you for sharing your truth. You have an army to hold you up. I'm sure this is true in your personal life and I'm most certain it is true of your TH-cam community. May God continue to bless you with strength, love and insight. -H&G
+Taleof2wives Thank you
This breaks my heart so much ❤️❤️ I just went through a divorce last year and it's really hard, but you can do this and you'll be better for it. Just keep your chin up!!
Candice, I didn't hate this video, I loved it. Yes, it made me very sad to see you so heartbroken. But, I loved how instead of crawling into a hole and disappearing (as I would have probably done) you chose to own it and maintain your authenticity even if it's not pretty. Life isn't fair and def not always pretty but it keeps on moving. I think a persons true character shows not when everything is going well for them but when life sticks out a leg and trips them. It's what we do when we fall that counts. So thank you so much for this video, I can only imagine how hard, scary and painful it must have been for you to make this. You are a true teacher and your students and kids are lucky. I'm sending you much love and a hug. Also, you can tell from just pictures and videos how loved Quinn and Tucker. They are beautiful and happy children!
You once replied to my comment,explaining why you chose to stay in Utah despite the homophobia. I knew then how absolutely strong you are, and I have no doubt that the same strength will carry you into the next phase of your life. I know the pain is real, and nothing makes sense right now, but know that the sun will continue to rise and you will move forward with two beautiful children.
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. You're very strong to make this. You're so strong and you will get through this. I know right now it's tough, but you'll get through it. You are beautiful and she's going to miss out on an amazing woman.
There's no need to be embarrassed many people go through this. Anyone would be very lucky to have you because you're just so amazing.
I myself have gone through a rough break up recently and feel the same as you. Stay strong. Keep your head up.
We're all here for you. There's no need to be scared we understand things are hard. We still look up to you. We still are encouraged by you. We are not let down. Gosh you're so amazing to share this. I couldn't love you more. Thank you for sharing!
What amazing courage you showed in making this video, sharing such deep feelings with us. I am so sorry for your heartache and pain right now. You have an amazing future ahead, you will find the right person, you will start to heal, find that happiness you know exists, nothing in life is perfect. You have amazing strength to share this -- people need to know that perfection, while something we all strive for, is what fairytales are made of. The reality is that we are all human, everyone is human and relationships and love are so complicated. Stories and raw truth like this -- this helps people immensely, don't stop making videos!! Our thoughts are with you...
aww so sweet
I just watched your other video and watching this one breaks my heart. You're so strong and brave. You are my role model. You have no idea how amazing you are and how much your videos have taught me. Your kids are yours and beautiful. Stay strong it's worth it ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this chapter of your story. You're so brave and a great mom ! With such beautiful children, you can be sure your future is going to be awesome and full of hapiness and love! You will never be alone ! We love you !
My heart goes out to you and the children. It is a hard and trying time. I went through that situation 6 years ago and I had to keep going for my two children. All I wanted to say is it gets easier. The famous quote "it takes time" is so true. Sending you hugs all the ways from the UK. TC xx
I just found your channel very few months ago. I started living openly just 4 years ago. I was encouraged and even watching this I still am. You have an audience but it's still okay to only think about your little circle for a while, no matter how small.
Your bravery is unmatched. Thank you for being raw and vulnerable and I hope you know how much love is our there for you. You've helped more people than. You realize, too. I'm a straight exMormon who has been able to find authenticity largely through your story. Sure it was your whole family's story, but YOU are strong and YOU will continue. Your family will continue. Thank you, Candice. Thank you for your courage and generous heart. You've changed the world and will continue to do so. Sending so much love. 💞
Thank you for sharing. This sucks and I'm sorry. I had a similar experience a year ago and was completely blindsided. It's awful and I'm still recovering but I can tell that you have the right mindset to pull through this. No words can help this heartbreak but know we love you and appreciate you telling your story.
Side note 🙌🏼 to Queen B! And your hair looks great
This broke my heart. You are so strong for sharing this. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for being authentic and know that despite your relationship status, you are a HUGE role model for many
Omg I teared the hell up :"( I just want you to know that we will always love and support you no matter what ! You didn't disappoint us okay .. Take the time off if you need to :) WE LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY & STAY STRONG .
I am so sorry for you! you are an amazing woman and we all are still looking up to you! you are also a wonderful mum and some day your two beautiful kids will be very proud of you! and I am proud of you because of your strength and bravery. you will survive this and you will be stronger than ever before. much love from Germany!
I'm very sorry you're having to deal with this. I am a straight woman married to a wonderful man. If he walked out on me, I would be just as heart broken. You will get through this and I'm proud of you for wanting to survive for those beautiful babies !
This makes me feel so sad, take time to heal - it took me a good few (many) months to get over a previous relationship that seemed to end in the same way, completely out of the blue and totally not how i was feeling about our relationship at the time, but time will give your head a chance to catch up with your heart and emotions, and then you'll be back to feeling good and happy again!
I think it's, no YOU are, inspirational that you posted this emotional and difficult moment in your life, as it's something no one talks about but should to help others. But of course you're doing this, as you've been an inspiration to so many people.
Thank you, and know that we'll all still be here to see the two little 'uns grow up!
I've seen this up for a week now but you were right.. i was afraid to click play and watch it.. but fear of the unknown was more scary than knowing what was in the video so i watched. I feel you, i commend you, and i will be sticking by. This is life. This is real. You can do this. We are all here for you. Your fight is our fight. You are not alone. We will see Quinn and Tucker as they grow older. We will be with you through this journey. You can and you will get through this. Take all the time you need. Baby steps... Rest.. Breathe.. Smile.. It may not seem so now, but it is a wonderful world. It's all gonna be all right.. You'll see... =) Love always...
One year ago i have watched this video and admired your streingt and the way you said it touched me I could feel you but I had my person at the time with me I thought man I am so happy that I have her with me I and that i have a person i can trust I went and hugged her and kissed her goodnight.
Yesterday I found out she cheated on me with my brother. I felt the need to come to this channel again cuz your words expresse everything I feel. I am so sad and embarrassed and cant tell anyone and I feel lost. Thank you for the streingt to share your deepest feelings and help people like me to feel less lost and see how you can move on learn and get stronger!
I look up to you even more so now. You are incredibly strong, not an ounce of weakness can be found within you. I commented on your last video telling you I hope to be at least half of the mom you are now if one day I am one. I feel that even more so now. Keep your head up and your heart strong. We are all here for you no matter what, and I'm so so sorry that this has happened. I hope that one day you find someone who hugs you so tight all the broken pieces glue back together again. Thank you so much for showing us the truth. As a 16 year old who comes from a broken home I must tell you that your kids will be okay. They're going to hurt too, and maybe at times they'll feel at fault. I promise you though that together you guys will get through this. My mom and I did and so will you and Quinn and Tucker. I love you 💕
This is amazing! You think you have let us down, but really you haven't. I admire your realness, you're ability to see the light in the dark is admirable. the fact you have your beautiful children is a blessing. I wish you all the happiness in the world. i'll stay tuned don't worry. I have the greatest respect for you. Keep going, i can't wait to see whats in store.
take your time to grieve, however much you need.
Much love and hugs from Wales. x
Wow. You are so brave to take the time to make this video. You will get through this. Things will get better. And know that even though Megan's gone, I (and I'm sure many others) will stick by you. You are an amazing person and an amazing mother. If anything, this video gives me hope. No relationship is perfect, and this video shows me that no matter what happens, there is happiness within you. Stay strong.
This could've been word-for-word the exact same script (minus the kids) that I would have used one year ago when my partner of 3 years left me out of the blue after spending months unhappy and silent, on Mother's Day no less. It's unbelievable to be in this position when you think your life is the happiest and most perfect it'll ever be, but you'll become amazed with how much happiness is waiting for you, with and without her. My heart breaks seeing this video because I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone else, but seeing where I am now 370 days later and knowing how far I've come from this point is remarkable in itself. Your strength will overwhelm you, even when you don't feel like you have any left. Best of luck to you and your family
Thank You Kalyna
Ooohh sweet girl...I'm so sorry about your pain. I understand how you feel. Well, nobody can because your pain is just yours but I can try to figure it out. There is STILL people who look up to you...YOU ARE SO BRAVE!!! Can anyone imagine theirselves opening their hearts the way you did in this video? I don't think so; however, you did. That's great! Thank you for sharing. Good bless you so that you could keep going with that beautiful smile you have! Love - Romina from Cordoba, Argentina
sometimes the reality, the sincerity and the narrative of a broken heart needs to be told.... You are such a poet.
O.M.G This is the most honest video ever, it is hard and will be for a whole, i don't have children but the exact circumstances have happened to me in the last 6 weeks, i too have to shut the front door to grieve because i don't want others to think different off me. Your words of encouragement help, i hope that you find happiness when your ready, please don't stop the video of you and your family
Candace, thank you for sharing your story and vulnerability with the world. the unknown of the future can be scariest thing. redefining family is so hard when your family changes. my dad left my mum (to be with a man) just under a year ago and i can see the heart break that she going through is the similar as yours, you love them so much yet the love isn't returned. i feel so blessed to have found your youtube channel what it looks like to be in a same sex family and redefining what family looks like for me in my future but then an added layer of what family looks like with my parents after separation when you went expecting it.
sending love and laughter
Laura
Wow that make me cry... Please be strong you are not alone you have this two beautiful kids! You are amazing women!!
You have been on my mind since last night when I saw this video. I am a straight woman but I really looked up to your family, I could just see how much love there was and it truly inspired me. However, this video has inspired me even more. It shows me that things are not always going to work out the way we want to, but we must keep moving forward. Your strength is amazing and lately my depression has been back but this video showed me how important it is to keep fighting. I am so glad you have your two beautiful kids and I know you will find someone amazing when it is the right time. Do not give up. When you are sad, read all of these beautiful comments to get your strength back. Keep us updated because we truly care. I am sending lots of prayers from Texas, Candace. Thank you for sharing your story! Things WILL get better!!
Your honesty, sincerity and eloquence in a time of heartbreak is inspiring! I know your heart must feel broken right now and you must feel that things will never be the way you had once hoped. But with heartbreak comes new openings and cracks for the unexpected and wonderful to fill up. With sadness comes tears and after the tears comes a clarity that could have never been explained previously. With love, comes new beginnings and with that comes HOPE! Hold onto the love with everything you are! The love for your sweet babies. The love for yourself! The love that others show you through this difficult time. Hold onto the love and let it heal you and fill you back up, stronger and more resilient than before. Know that although most of us don't know you, we are sending so much love your way! Let that love hold you up until you are able to do it again on your own. It will all be OK again! You just have to hold on to friends and family until then! xoxo
Thank you Page! Beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing this and trusting us with it. I'm far far away and can't help but I can pray and I will pray. You have my total support xxx
My partner and I recently broke up. And I did need to hear the narrative of a broken heart. It is hard to know there is light on the other side right now so thank you for your courage to share. I can't wait to see your journey. Xo
This was so incredibly raw and beautiful. You're so strong and will continue to be a huge inspiration to many. Thank you for sharing. 💕
I don't even know what to say to this other than, I feel for you. And thank you for such an honest show of emotions. You've shown so much maturity and integrity with the way you are handling everything. Your babies are precious, hold them close.
I'm a single, former LDS, gay mom. It's so hard and I often think that the leaving partner doesn't think it through...... The pain on the children is so intense! 'I'm so sorry.... I understand your pain.
Omg this is one of my worst fears Candice. You give everything to someone and love them unconditionally and they leave and you're there heart broken, completly shattered, especially if it comes out of no where. It's one of the reasons why I fear relationships and opening my heart to someone. I'm like you Candice, I give and love with no boundries. I'm so happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I know while you are talking and sharing with us, you are healing. Sad because I wish this to no one. Love you and thanks for being so human and open about your struggles. Thank you for not disappearing!
I hope, as a therapist, that you, Megan, and the children are seeing counselors. This process has highs and lows. No one is at fault, and all of you need to know that. I have been so touched by your willingness to open your family to the world, to show that families come in all shapes, sizes, make ups. Keep moving forward. You are not responsible for how others respond to this. Despite being in the spotlight, you are all real people with real stories, real lives.
Thanks so much for the video!!! Don't worry about TH-cam, focus on yourself. I went through 6 years of relationship break up and I know how u feel and I think everything happens for a reason! I feel like if it didn't work with Megan, maybe there was a point in it, so you will have something better in store for you. Not that she is bad, I know that relationships break and now more even then before, but it's better if she left than both of you end up arguing and being unhappy. You are so strong. And I'm so proud of you for making this video. - Elena
This video made me cry, a lot, but Candice I don't know you very well but from the videos I have watched I can tell you are an extremely strong woman. Of course it's going to be extremely difficult because you thought you and Megan would be a couple for ever, but nothing is forever. You will get over this and we, your loyal fans, your family will help you through this tough time. Quinn and Tucker will be okay and so will you, just focus on your beautiful children and try to forget about the things that drag you down.
Candice, I've been following your channel for a while and many videos have really hit home for me emotionally. But this one, I believe, is the most hard-hitting. It's a lot easier to share the happy times than it is to share the heartbreaking ones, especially when you'd rather do anything but. However I think the message you're spreading is amazing and needs to be shared. Sometimes things end unexpectedly, and the only choice we have is to move on. I'll absolutely stick with you on this journey, and I know that many others will as well. You are, and will always be, more than enough.
I really appreciate this video. I'm going through the same thing now. Was with her for 6 1/2 years and have a son together... I know how bad it sucks! I just hope I can get over this bad situation too.
There are no words I have for how much I admire you. You're real and honest. You have a beautiful family. I am so sorry that you're in pain. Those sweet little darlings will love you unconditionally. Keep your head up and your heart strong. Thank you for sharing parts of yourself, even the painful ones, with us.
I am so sorry... It breaks my heart to see you heartbroken yet, it gives me hope that you are so strong. I know what it feels like, my partner and I broke up too and it is still very raw and some days I feel lost. My hope is that the knowledge that the darkest part of the night it is right before the sunrise. I too have 2 incredible boys, they are 28 and 26 years old, and the lighten up my life. Remain strong, cry when you need to, it does not make you weak, but it soothes your soul. I will keep on watching your videos and look forward to see when you smile again because you have healed. Blessings and hugs with much love!
Hey Ms. Green. I really understand you right now. I'm going through the same thing, but you're very brave & strong. You're the best teacher I ever had, & a true role model to me, all my writing & creativeness blossomed with your help. I know you can do anything you want, cause you always showed that nothing is impossible to do. I believe you'll find a new adventure one day, nothing is ever wrong with you. I thought I was the problem, that I could be better. But, truth is I can't, & you can't either. Because, you're yourself. There is no one who could be you, nobody has your memories, DNA, or uniqueness. You're a beautiful soul. I still love you, your family, & Ms. Berrett. Keep being you, keep being the wonderful person you are.
I am so sorry that this happened. As a gay woman in her early 20s, your family has been an inspiration to me and will continue to be. While it's devastating to see such a beautiful family in such pain, I think everyone realizes that we are all human and no one is perfect. Your willingness to continue to vlog and show that even when things don't work out the way originally planned, life can and will go on, is truly courageous. You are so brave. Never be ashamed or scared of sharing your truth. Sending love and positive vibes your way. Stay strong for those kiddos Mama.❤️
It's not your responsibility to keep up to other's expectations. A lot of people look up to you, but you don't need to apologize to them for something that is not your fault. I promise you that you're not letting anyone down. You still have two beautiful kids and you still are an amazing person. Draw strenght from the ones who are close to you. You'll make it. I'm sending you a virtual hug and all my love from italy
My wife and I have always looked to you and Megan. This doesn't change anything. You still both are amazing people and are raising two beautiful children! Things change. Struggles are real. I was crying right along with you. Thank you for your transparency ❤️
I came across your TH-cam channel a while back and was really inspired by it. It gave me light and a hope. But I think you can still do that, you can still be an inspiration. You can still show us how to continue on with out lives and do greatness even when things don't work out the way you want them to or thought that they would. I hope you do still continue with your TH-cam channel and your story. You still have a lot of hope to share.
We totally feel your pain and wish this wasn't so. But like you said - sad things happen. We are sending you love and support and want to see you come through this. Be brave, be scared, be sad - but don't be down on yourself.
I am so so sorry. You are so brave for posting this video. You need to take care of you everyone else will be alright and everyone watching this is better for witnessing your strength and hearing your story
my heart goes out to you , you are such a strong and brave individual . you are an amazing mother and woman ! I wish you all the luck and love getting through this tough time ! you are an inspiration . Thankyou for being brave enough to share such a raw emotional vlog.
Dear Candice, we are so sorry but you shows with this video the courage you have to go through this hard chapter in your life. Quinn and Tucker are your reasons for hope and struggle. Hugs from Perú
I wish you were my teacher in high school because you are so real and are a beautiful soul. It will be okay.
this is heart breaking. i'm really sorry you're going through this but i'm confident you'll be ok! you've been here for us when we needed it now it's our time to be here for you! you're beautiful and brave, hang in there. this too shall pass! love from italy
Candice, the amount of courage it took for you to make this video speaks volume of the kind of mother, individual and woman you are. You are loved by so many and you will be happy. This isn't the end; happiness and love will find its way back to you..but guess what? It's already there in the form of your family, friends and children. You are beautiful inside and out
Peace and love
I hope you read this but I want you to know that out of all the you tubers you resignate so strong w me you are brave,sincere, authentic and passionate. I want to thank you for sharing your life with all of us strangers! I am sorry to hear about your heart ache but that relationship was not why I joined your channel.. I admired you for your passion and sincerity for being open and gay in such a conservative place like Utah! I am thankful for having stumbled across your channel you have giving me hope on just being more comfortable in my own skin! Although you may feel embarrassed about your relationship please dont it is only a part of your story to what you have giving to so many of us !!! So thank you!
Candace you have given a voice to so many people (including myself) and for that I cannot thank you enough. When I first came out I thought that everything I've ever wanted (mostly to be a mum) would be taken from me, you showed me it doesn't have to be that way. Nobody is perfect and I am certainly not expecting you to be perfect, your human after all. I am so sorry for you that your heart is breaking you really do not deserve this pain.
I am a big believer in everything happening for a reason. We may not understand the reasons right away and that's frustrating but it's okay. You are a wonderful person and I really think that as i said this is happening for a reason and that amazing things are are going to come your way in the future.
You have the most beautiful children who couldn't ask for a better mother
Candice, you could never let us down. Your family was a beautiful model of what our lives could look like and no one can take that away. You will continue to be a role model for a lot of young people, like me. I come from a broken home and I can guarantee you that as long as you love your kids as much as you do and continue to tell them how much you support them every day, it will all work out. Your videos inspire all of us and nothing can ever change that. You are so strong for making this video and I wish you the best in life. You will get through this. You have taught us all a lot about happiness and being ourselves. You have made many of us smile and believe in ourselves. Stay strong. We love you!
-M
I'm so sorry to hear about this, Candace. May your heart be healed. May your kids be blessed. You will get through this. Thanks for being real and sharing the truth through this whole situation!
God bless all of you.. You, Megan and the kids. I pray that he will give you more strength and love during this time of difficulty. Whatever your path is I'm sure it will be a beautiful one. You still remain one of my favourite families on TH-cam.
i can't pretend i know what you are feeling Candace. but what i can say is that i had gone through something like that once. Yes, it's gonna feel like the world is ending. But it gets better. Everything happens for a reason and for the best. Like you said, one year before, u would never have thought you would be at this stage and i am positive that next year you wont believe how far you have come from here. Raise that head high and know that you have the strength to get through this. Much Love
I was so afraid after all the signs, i'm really really sorry for the both of you. Also really proud and thankful that you shared this, stay strong!
Don't worry about your children. Plenty of parents have divorced but remained STRONG co-parents and I know from first hand experience. I am 100% sure that you guys will make everything work for the better in one way or another, together or apart, for the better. Rely on your faith. We are ALL here for you.
Words cannot describe how much I want to give you a big hug. You are truly an inspiration. It's hard to know what to say during this situation. All I can say is that we are here for you. Whenever you need a big Internet hug. We are here. You are so beautiful and so loved Candice. I am praying for you and your family.
I guess you can say for the past couple days I have been binge watching this channel. In a matter of moments i fell in love with the story. And when I clicked on this video, I didn't even look at the title. And then it began the tears and the fidgeting with the wedding ring and my heart sank. And it took the whole video, for me to really know why my heart sank so much. And it's because a part of me for the past couple days was happier; I felt lighter. And then this video came and knocked the lightness away. But even as I am typing this I am realizing that even though is sucks, it makes the relationship all the more normal. Which gives me faith that one day my future relationship will be just as normal as the heterosexual couple sitting next to me. There is so much pressure to show everybody that gay families are not bad, and that its not going to ruin children, that we forget the parents are just humans. We can't put all this pressure on them to succeed. The fact that the romantic relationship has ended sucks, but know we as the viewers have the chance to watch as both of you guys put your children first, we get to see a side of you we haven't had the chance to see yet. I'm not the best with words, but please know Candice I still see you as a role model, and I still believe in Megan. I believe that you both will love your children with all your heart and soul, and that's all anybody can ever really ask for. So thank you for this video and I can't wait to see the growth and strength I am sure you both will show.
Whatever the circumstances, you always give me hope. I can't wait to find out what your future, and your family's future, holds. Thank you for always being honest and for sharing this heartbreaking part of your life with us.
You're beautiful, inspiring and brave. I'm happy that you have those two little ones to keep you going. I wish love and light for you. Thank you for this video and thankyou for deciding to continue to spread your light.
You are beautiful inside AND out. Don't be embarrassed, but it's ok to be scared because it's in these situations that we see the person that we really can be. You have 12,107 friends just on TH-cam. We would never think you were a fraud. We still look up to your family. It makes no difference from a heroine point of view if you are still in a relationship or if you are in a successful co-parenting relationship. Please don't delete your channel as the message is still relevant. I'm in the UK so your message reaches around the world. We love you. Lucy staffordshire England xxx
Remember the first time I saw a video of your family and I thought wow that's a perfect family wish one day I have one like yours. Today... I now I wish to be as strong as you. Life isn't perfect but now I just finished watching all your videos and I'll say it again... YOU 3 (YOU AND YOUR KIDS) ARE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND WISH I HAVE ONE LIKE YOURS.
You still inspire me and undoubtedly always will. Thank you for being brave enough to continue sharing your life story
It's really sweet that you still, even during this hard time, think about us... about people who watched your family grow and prosper.. don't forget that we are still here and we send you the energy, and positive vibes for you to carry on... I know it is hard now but also I know that it's alway darkest before the dawn...life has it's ups and downs and it goes like this all the time... so take your time to be sad but never forget that you have two beautifull children and eventually it gets better ;)
Omg.. Stay strong please ❤️ You're such a great person and Im sure you can do this.. 😞
I hated hearing this. You and Megan were my role models and hope for the future and you both still are. Life isn't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. Thank you so much for sharing this and deciding to keep your channel. Stay strong and I wish you and those beautiful babies all the best.
I was waiting the whole video to hear you telling us that this was a joke... I can't believe it!!! I am so sorry... All our support from Spain. You were and still being a great family model for my partner and me. Good luck both of you!!
Got through the whole thing finally...hard to watch, but you had already opened up to me in an unexpected way that one day...I had always wanted to meet you two & a few months earlier, maybe longer than that when you were still pregnant with Tucker I saw you leaving Bed, Bath & Beyond as I was coming & wanted to say hi & show support but opted not to in fear of just being another person doing the same thing..I figured i'd never have an opportunity again, but when we met in line at Target I wasn't expecting the response when I said hi & mentioned I enjoyed your videos...you know the stuff I have said to you, so not going to repeat it because it was just for you...but your bravery, vulnerability and openess is something strong, not weak..relationships are easy to leave when bored, frustrated, stagnant, etc but difficult to work through, work at..There are always 3 sides to every story so to speak, the 2 involved & the truth, so although there is hurt, anger &, frustration on both sides, try to keep in mind the friendship & love you have had & use that to treat each other with respect while working though whatever the new "you" is...you don't ever owe anyone any explanation even if you chose to be public, whatever you discuss, keep doing it your way. You may or may not end up back together..its so early on in this process that all the emotions are new, raw, up & down..you did this video beautifully. I think respecfully, with restraint, tact & class but still were truthful..when she is ready she may provide her side, maybe not. Just always put yourself in the place of the other person & do what you would want them to do, say what you would want said about you or not say...I am sending you positive energy everyday, to you, Megan, the kids & your family, Im always hear to listen & thank you for being open with me that day. Im so glad I know such a great person.
Thank you for being so open, and so honest. You are inspiring to everyone and don't EVER feel like you have let any of us down. Your story is important...every single part of it and I'm so honored that you allow me and so many others to be even the tiniest part of it. Life will knock you down and you will have to find ways to pick yourself up and find strength you never thought you had. But know that there are people behind you, people who you may not even know, who are cheering for you.
Thank you for all of this. So brave to share this story that too many people have gone through as well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've just stumbled across this video a week after the exact same thing happened to me. I thought my girlfriend and I were so happy. We were planning to move country together soon and get married soon and then totally out the blue she told me "I don't think I love you anymore. I don't want to stay in this relationship" The worst part is she told me by text, she couldn't even say it to me in real life. I wanted to talk about it and work out the problems but she is too stubborn. I'm utterly heartbroken and I miss her so much. I just can't believe that I thought we were both so happy when she was only looking for a way to end it.
I hope in the future it gets better because right now it really sucks
Ms. Candice I know how it feels to have someone leave my Dad a few months ago just up and left us and our mom with everything wrong and we've had to fight for everything since. It was totally heartbreaking the first few months to know that after 17 years he could just leave but it's all for the better and you should see it as that too. I'm sorry for everything that's happen but it all does for a reason and life does continue I was watching then and I'm still here no matter what :)
You have everyone here's support! I had to go thru this in January of this year. You get over it. I thought I never would. I love you and #thequinn AND Tuck!
I'm so glad that you've chosen to share this part of your story. This part is just as important, valuable, and beautiful as the others to share with the world. I know it hurts, but I can tell that you're going to come out of this stronger than you ever thought you could be. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Candice. Keep your chin up. You've totally got this.
Thank you so much for opening up. I don't think I will ever be able to understand the pain you are going through but I'd like you to know that u have your family's support and our support 150% of the way. You are truly an inspiration. Blessings go out to you and to your family. Please let us help you! Let's start a new chapter under a completely new light! Also.. One more thing I'd like to add is that you are pretty and you are beautiful and wonderful and smart and brave and I'm not just saying these things. It's true. We all see it. you will get through all of this. :) we are definitely sticking around :)
You both seem like two strong, amazing women. It's just how it works sometimes. I've been in Megan's shoes and the guilt can be overwhelming. But forcing yourself to stay in a relationship is equally damaging for both. Obviously I don't know her story, but leaving is sometimes the best thing and ALWAYS the hardest thing. I hope you guys find peace and make it all about those kiddos. Probably doesn't feel like it right now, but everyone will heal and life has so much more to give you both.
There's nothing much that I can say, but I feel compelled to say something. I'm 19.
You are such a strong woman, I see women like you all the time. Women who conquer, overcome and do what's best for themselves and for their kids. It's easy to show the world the high points in life but hard to show yourself picking up the pieces. I know a few things about heartbreak, but the most important is; there is so much beauty, love and happiness on the other side of it. You will always be surrounded by love. You have your kids, a dog, and the love of some many people. You will heal, you will be become stronger. Much love, from a random fluffy.
Accidentally I came across one of your video when you were with her, that was so beautiful, but then I read this video's title, made me "should I watch this video?", and I'm so glad to watch this video.
Exactly 2 years ago this video was uploaded, I'm so sorry for what happened to both of you. Watching this video makes me want to give you a big hug.
And you, you're really a strong woman and I believe you've became even more stronger now day by day, you're very lucky for having two adorable beautiful angels.
I wish more happiness in your life and for your little family ❤❤❤❤
Big love for you from your new subscriber from the other side of the world ❤❤❤
My heart is breaking for you Candice. You are so much stronger than I could ever be in a situation like that. I am in actual awe of your bravery and your honesty. Thank you so much for being willing to share with us. You know you can take as much time as you need and we will all be here for you. Please don't ever feel like you're letting us down. I know for me personally, I did look at your family and see what I wanted my future to look like, but that's the thing about the future... it's no one else's to plan. I have total faith in the fact that you and your family will continue to smile and, in turn, make others smile right along with you. But PLEASE don't ever feel the need to apologize for anything. Life is messy and complicated and hard as hell sometimes, but you have two incredible babies to share it with and I know they see that light you described shining out of them, shining right back out of you. You are everything to them and that, in itself is an accomplishment. I have been a subscriber for quite awhile, and I will continue to remain one because I cannot wait to see you conquer life with your beautiful babies by your side. I hope you find peace in the fact that you continue to be a model for what I want my future to look like. If I am as strong and brave and passionate as you someday I will consider my life to be a success, no matter what my circumstances are. Thank you for being there for us Candice. I'll continue to be here for you.
Sending so much love from MA.

"Keep your head up, keep your heart strong" by Ben Howard is what helped me through my last break-up...
Believe me you are going to get through this and the time after will be so much more appreciated.
You do not have to be prettier as you are the most beautiful human being inside and out. It is hard but you are right your two children are giving you strength - a breakup with no other responsibilities is sometimes a huge meltdown. Take it on a day-to-day basis, admit the feelings you have (even if it is after a year), let them be... Your are going to get out of this much stronger, better and - in the end - happier.
I am sticking around. coz you are a ball of a strong and brave woman...and you still inspire me to be more strong. youre very inspirational.
Hey Candice. Someone really close to me suddenly left me pretty recently. I remembered watching your videos about your divorce a couple years ago and even though it's a different situation they really resonate with me right now. I keep coming back to this video and your when the fairytale ends video. they help me a lot right now to process and give me hope that I'll be okay. so thank you so much for sharing it means a lot
You are incredible, and we appreciate you sharing this difficult time with us. This is real life, too and that's okay. You are not letting us down. We are sad, but with you 💕
