In my younger days, I was a big Friends/Jennifer Aniston fan and I could never understand how she was so reasonable towards BP who humiliated her in front of practically the whole world. However, when she did the Friends reunion a few years ago, she kept having to leave the set in tears because it all came flooding back, her break up with Pitt which she described as 'the worst time of her life'. So she wasn't so cool about it after all. As an earlier poster said, Helen is acting in the best interests of her kids by staying classy (and Myler is no Brad Pitt!!!) but she must feel a range of emotions because what he did to her was a huge betrayal. No sign of a new relationship either.
