The wife of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman left the country in response to a deluge of media coverage following her husband’s latest hospitalization.
Gisele Barreto Fetterman revealed that she left her home with her children in the days after her husband checked into a Washington, D.C.-area hospital for clinical depression.
“1 week ago today when the news dropped, the kids were off from school and media trucks circled our home. I did the first thing I could think of … pack them in the car and drive,” she said in a Friday tweet

Perceptive post.
Solid marriage there!
At least he knows he can count on her when the chips are down....
She’ll make a fine Senator in the near future.
Here’s the thing. If you don’t want to get caught up in a media circus, then don’t be an actor, a singer, a politician, etc. Media scrutiny is just part of the deal with those jobs.
Tammy Wynette she ain’t.
Lula called her back
I don’t fault her for doing as she did. She has three children 12 and under, plus a household and the media to manage during this time. She probably needed to get away from the eye of the storm for a little while.
Every family and marriage is different. Maybe her staying there would not give her husband the peace and quiet he needs right now. She may be the type where the more nervous she is, the more she talks. I don’t know them.
The alleged wife drove to Canada and went ziplining with the spawn while Uncle Fester lays in a military hospital...at taxpayer expense. How much more ef’d up can this country get?!
Perzactly.
“She took the children with her.”
I didn’t say she did not take her children with her. However, after over a year of campaigning, with their parents absent quite a bit of the time, and their father suffering from the hospitalizations and the results from the stroke, to be taken on a road trip when they need reassurance and stability seems a bit irresponsible to me.
Having spent the past two years helping manage my mother’s hospitalizations and end-of-life care, I realize how important it is for a spouse or trusted family member to be in personal contact with both the physicians and the hospitalized family member. I can’t recall the number of times, a nurse or physician almost screwed up in my mother’s care, by not paying attention to medical issues that were contradictory to the prescription or treatment they were poised to prescribe to her.
Thankfully, my siblings and I were able to adjust our schedules (a shared Excel spreadsheet as to free times was a literal life-saver), so that one of use was available to be with her at all times. Escaping is not a successful solution and can, in fact, be detrimental to all involved. Those children deserve better from their parents.
Yes...you are correct about managing hospital, medical care for a loved one...24 hrs a day is best.
As the “Peanuts” cartoon (Charles M. Schulz) once wisely told us all:
“No problem is so big or so complicated that it can’t be run away from!”
“I don’t fault her for doing as she did. She has three children 12 and under, plus a household and the media to manage during this time. She probably needed to get away from the eye of the storm for a little while.

This “job” was not thrust upon Fetterman unexpectedly. He and his wife knew the ages of their children at the time they embarked down this road. Fetterman, his wife, his physicians, and the Democrat party, knew of his medical problems after his stroke. He did not withdraw to let another candidate take his place. The Fettermans, the physicians, the media, and all democrats lied about his physical and mental acuity and ability to do the job required.
The time to “get a way for a while” was immediately following his stroke. Then, after recovery, maybe he could have campaigned for another political position. But having a physically and mentally impaired democrat candidate was apparently a better option than his family looking out for his health care. Fetterman’s wife obviously has political aspirations of her own and she doesn’t mind stepping over her dead husband’s body to achieve those goals.
Unexpected!
Husband is on medication.
Husband goes in the hospital.
Wife takes kids and runs to another country.
What is she afraid that the doctors will find out?
