The chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network,Pat Robertson advised 700 club viewers to avoid putting a quotguilt tripquot on those who want to divorce a spouse with Alzheimer39s. During the advice segment on Tuesday's show, a viewer asked what advice a man should give to a friend who started seeing another woman after his wife began suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Pat Robertson said, "I recognize it sounds cruel, but if he’s going to do something, he will have to divorce her and get started all over again, but make sure she has custodial care and an individual looking after her."
Robertson said he won't "put a guilty conscience trip" on any person who divorces a spouse who suffers from the illness, Robertson added, "Get a good deal of ethicist besides me to give you the answer."
