[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt bad for her but her psych assessment indicated narcissistic and histrionic personality disorder, and I believe that's accurate. She hated her two victims until the day she died and felt no remorse for the horror she single-handedly inflicted on her children. Two kids felt she should be released, but two did not.

Did she get everything she deserved in the divorce settlement? No. Was she wealthy and perfectly comfortable? Yes. Cheating sucks, and Dan and Linda were not great people, but she should have let it go and rebuilt her life. [/quote]

Wealthy?

There was $2M in marital assets and she got $20K of that. [/quote]

That was the lump sum, I agree not good, but she was paid $16k/month. That was a lot of money back then. [/quote]

Sure $16k is a lot but she paid for his med school and law school working and raising kids …. You think it’s not wild that she was not give the marital assets and she lost her kids and she didn’t get the $16K while separated and she couldn’t afford a lawyer do she represented herself.

It’s financial abuse all around. [/quote]

$16k in 1989 is the same as $42k now. If you can’t live on $42k a month, that’s on you. [/quote]

This. Her ego couldn't handle him remarrying, an affair partner and much younger woman to boot. Her daughter said their marriage was unhappy and they never got along. This was not about love. She seemed to care more about appearances than the marriage itself, and was incredibly materialistic. Was he a gaslighting narcissist? Yes. But she should have taken her ample alimony and moved on with her life, focusing on her kids. In all likelihood she would have remarried, and maybe even more happily the second time.[/quote]

I don’t know why everybody is trying to boil this down to money.

She was abused for decades. She tried to kill herself when her daughter was too young to even remember.

Her daughter doesn’t even know the person she was before she was destroyed by her husband.

I don’t think anybody should kill anybody, but I also I’m not losing sleep when you fully and intentionally abuse somebody and then you boo-hoo about the consequences.

He created the person and the situation that eventually led to the demise of his whole family.

They both did the crime and they both did the time.[/quote]
