FINDING A NEW COMPANION

Dan, 64, felt depressed while looking at how Alzheimer slowly took the love of his life away from him. After a while, he started a relationship with Alex Lerner, 53, who also helps Dan and Dana take care of Barbara.

The man set clear that he is in love with his girlfriend, but that he loves Barbara, too, “it’s just a different type of love now.” Unfortunately, several people consider that what Dan is doing is completely negative as he is “betraying” his marriage vows.

CRITICIZING HIM IN “THE VIEW”

One of the people who criticized Dan was “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin, who said that she and Barbara were friends and that she couldn’t agree with Alex having her own bedroom in what was supposed to be Barbara and Dan’s house.

Another member of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg, also shared her negative thoughts on Dan but for a different reason. According to the actress, Dan shouldn’t have let “The Washington Post” take video of Barbara in her current condition as she didn’t want to see her friend like that.

“I have not seen them here. They don’t call my family. I see them talking on TV and how do you know what your supposed ‘friend’ would want?” revealed Dana, who has been living in her parents’ home for three years already to take care of Barbara.

“I only wish someone in your immediate family has Alzheimer’s so you can see feel and experience the pain of millions of people across this country so you can know first hand what it’s like to care 24/7/365 for someone who can no longer care for themselves!”

Apart from that, he confessed to People that Barbara told him to “live, to go on.” Dan and his girlfriend Alex are expected to appear on “The View” to defend themselves, too.
