true friends are hard to find these days...... she's a good friend.
At least he doesn't drink and drive! I feel for him been there done that. I give him respect for excepting help
He has to be drunk Togo to rehab. They will have to put him On benzos to safely detox him. Alcohol is a very dangerous drug is one of the MOST dangerous drugs to detox from. He has to be tapered off Valium etc....to basically not die. Some sponsors will go pick up sponsees and take a beer with them to give to the Alcoholics to avoid seizure or sudden death while driving them to rehab. People have no idea that the one of the most dangerous drugs is actually legal!

I was in the same boat with my ex husband. 2 failed attempts at shorter term facilities and finally got him to reach out to his EAP at work and they sent him for a month and he's been sober since. Kids need a father (both parents) and the co-parent just has to fight for that out of love for their kids.
Jen is one tough woman.. anyone who has her love shud be lucky.. bens lucky shes still part of his life and all his indiscretions.. jens mentally solid
Lol I got an ad for a show with Jennifer Garner right before this
Van is funny! Jack in the crack lol! 😂😂😂
Jennifer is an amazing wife to Ben and wonderful mother of his kids. I hope he finds his way back to where he needs to be!
He probably wants his wife back, he's just doing a terrible job of convincing her to not go on with the divorce.

Good job, Ben. Takes a stand up guy to admit he has a problem, and take action!

Medic Friends . Thank you! So easy to judge when you haven't lived the life. I recognized that he had a disease. I tried to help him but it was way beyond my capabilities. My reward was therapy after all those years.
it is not easy to go out of alcohol if you do not solve the problems that cause addiction, in my case were sentimental, after a story ended up drinking again, now I can not give up, I understood my problems and origins I hope Ben also does it first of all for himself
I love that Jennifer Garner helps Ben Affleck and brings him to rehab. I think still Jennifer Garner loves him and I hope they can get together again
He’s got the best wife ever! Much respect.
💛👑💛I hope Batman Gets all the help he needs... 💛👑💛 Jennifer is such a Sweetheart....
Damn it's like what is he dealing with internally that drives him to be so wreck less? He has a great family, he's rich, he's talented he's FUCKING BATMAN!
i feel so sad for ben..and happy at d same time bcoz jen is still with him no mattter what..wish u to get well soon ben..and be may batman again..love u..
Don't worry what everyone thinks Ben, wish you a speedy recovery.
4:57 he's like I said no onions
Everyone laughed at him when he was anointed as the new Batman. But he turned out pretty good. I ain’t gonna lie. I hope he gets his shit together asap. Make a come back like iron man.
Good for him. I wish him and his family well.
He's a great man for knowing he has an issue and doing something to do better.
Damn !!!! Alcohol is the worse one.....
That black guy is killin' me! "Jack 'N the crack one more time!" Ha! Ha! Ha! Dude...your show just got better with this guy!😁⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I hope he gets the help and I do like him as Batman. I can't believe people made Batman jokes. 😄😄😄
Love them both. I hope Ben gets better. And for Jen god bless her.
I actually like him as batman now. Him and cavell are a couple of the better things dc had going for them. Glad to hear he is getting help.

Once you've never had a problem...
dayum. Gives new meaning to 'lookin jacked'
Jennifer Garner is known not to pull any punches when it comes to her husband, Ben. It's obvious they absolutely love each other and would do anything for each other. That's why it's so sad that they're separated. As someone in recovery myself, I have the utmost respect for him and how open and honest he is when it comes to his struggles with addiction. Secrets and lies are the root of what kills addicts like us. You can never truly begin to recover until you can be brutally honest with yourself. God Bless him and his family.
its called separated
Wow!!!
Awww. Look at TMZ and paparazzi acting like they're concerned and they did a good thing by snapping pictures of him getting booze and going to rehab.
it's awalys great to here now a days that some1 tryed to help them self's, instead of killing himself or overdosing...
How long y’all gonna keep this intro?
I can't believe he's going through this
PSALM 107:20. He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction .God blessing.

It has been stalled for years. As of late, the presiding judge has threatened to throw the case out of court for incomplete paperwork. And now that this is happening again, Jen will pause the divorce (again) so that Ben could get better before proceeding.

Dam batman....
The picture with Ben in the back seat looks photo shop, looks like a bobble head.
so sad to hear..So glad he has her still in his life!
He is so lucky that his exwife is so loving and caring. she really loves her kids so much that she will do anything to help Ben. Good on her.
I'm watching this but it also sucks that these celebs can't even go to rehab without the public airing it
We wish you the best
Good for Jennifer love doesn’t stop because you can’t live together anymore. He’s the father of her children and when he’s good they’re good too.
Jen told Ben what’s in your wallet
Great that he wants the help!
She cute, she loyal! It's great that she was willing to help but not everyone is willing to accept help so good for him...
In Canada we call it "separation"... that's it.
That is real love..
I thought the same thing Van did
He has every opportunity to get well he is blessed he has the best care money can buy and not all actually very few are that lucky and to have his ex stand by him. He probably doesn't realize what he lost .
It all started when he lost his parents on that fateful night after the show. He's been going bat crazy ever since. He even tried to fight superman!
When female celebrities go to rehab for addictions, she's "off the wall", or "going crazy" Ben Afflek does it and gets applauded.

Stop trying to bring feminism into something about alcoholism because they don’t even match in these circumstances. People have to go through this awful addiction and you’re worried about being a feminist right now, smh have some decency already.

Nancy Aguilar People with mental health problems or learning disorders do not always get diagnosed in their youth or teens. Many general practitioners do not believe parents when they complain about their child’s behaviour. I am not talking about normal tempers flaring or a child forgetting something. I am talking about a child that can never get to sleep, a child that is ALWAYS late for school ( because they couldn’t get to sleep ) a child that struggles in school academically and emotionally. I believe these are the people that self medicate with booze, sex and drugs. Some children even feel suicidal and do not tell their parents. Parents have no rights. I found that out the hard way! I pray Ben can heal. His children are beautiful and they need a Father.
