[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to believe, but in the 2000s, Jim Edmonds was actually quite the eligible bachelor in St. Louis due to being part of a really great Cardinals team.  I could see how Meghan ignored the red flags when they met.

I lived in STL and followed Meghan early on social media.  Looking back, I can see now that some of her posts - even going back 15 years - were really manic.  It wouldn't surprise me if she had mental illness.  Add in 3 kids in 2 years, a cheating spouse and other stressors... and I imagine she just broke.  To me, her oversharing on social media seems like a cry for help.

I don't know that Edmonds is the monster people are making him out to be.  I guess it's good he and his wife are stepping up with the kids.  But to move his kids to TN at a time when they probably really need their mother and some assurance she's going to be okay... I dunno.  Seems like it would've been better for them to relocate back to STL and help Meghan get the help she needs.

Her family was a nice, normal St. Louis family back in the day.  I wonder if they are trying to stay involved in the kids' lives.  I imagine it's really tough when your daughter's ex has unlimited funds and is revered in STL.

Poor kids.  I hope Jim is being a good father and that their mom gets well.[/quote]

He for sure is well-known and likely has sway in STL, but he is also a known giant a-hole in STL. Local media and fans have widely characterized him as cold, difficult, dismissive, a jerk, narcissistic, insufferable, and on and on.

True!  I shouldn’t have said “revered”. Maybe more like, I wonder if her family is too “intimidated” by him to get involved. And actually they wouldn’t exactly have a good court case anyway; he’s the father, his rights would much prevail over grandparents. I was just more thinking, I wonder what her family - who seemed pretty normal back in the day - think of all this. [/quote]

I am positive her family is involved - they are for sure supporting her in all of the ways they can, privately. There is no way they would publicly say anything; that could affect her case. They are not named parties in the custody case, it's between the parents, so they are not legally involved (other than possibly providing affidavits or testifying in court in support of her).
