[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot understand why people insist on revising history when a tragedy like this takes place.

I've not seen any evidence whatsoever that Justin was an abuser and that Cerina was a domestic violence victim. The only physical violence documented in the divorce records is of Cerina hitting him. There are dozens of examples of him being a shitty human and an alcoholic. But that's not being an abuser and that isn't domestic violence.

Cerina's bestie went on record saying that Cerina was not afraid of him, and that she'd agreed to leave immediately if she ever did feel frightened. She wasn't a victim. All indications are that she was strong and stable as she fought for what she wanted in the divorce.

Why is it that we have to create these false stories about her being a DV victim in order to make sense of a tragedy like this? The simplest answer is usually the right answer. Access to a handgun when someone is depressed and drinking and undergoing a hotly contested divorce or another of life's most stressful moments leads to disaster.[/quote]

Weird take. If she wasn’t scared of him she obviously should have been. And the broader point is that no amount of advantage in a divorce is worth your household devolving into a War of the Roses scenario with surveillance cameras and cabinet locks and one spouse locked in a room drunk with a gun. I am NOT blaming her because I also let things go way too far including physically in my divorce.[b] In Cerina’s honor let’s figure out how to enable women to get out ASAP[/b]. [/quote]

It’s time to end “at fault” divorce, since that’s what leads to the doctrine of abandonment that was probably why she felt forced to stay. Then we end the year long waiting period for people with kids. Adults know their minds - if they go through the hassle of filing paperwork let them finish what they started.

After that, we make domestic violence a felony punishable by death or a recognized grounds for self-defense. As in, you hit your wife, she has the right to shoot you whenever and however and she walks free with a claim for pain and suffering against his estate. These men (yeah, not all men, but mostly men bro) are completely irredeemable. Everyone is better off if they’re dead. There, I said it. [/quote]

Agree but even in no fault states women stay too long. I stayed too long and wasn’t even married. [/quote]

Ok? Did you have kids or assets to protect? Few states actively punish people who defend themselves, and Virginia is one of them. [/quote]

You literally don’t know what your are talking about. Anyone in this situation needs to consult a lawyer with the goal of getting away from your dysfunctional husband ASSP. Don’t let it fester. [/quote]
