[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]she did post a quick sentence and called Dooce a former friend and said something about mental illness being devastating because she saw firsthand how it can take a creative/productive person down a path of destructive choices and eventually death.

I thought Kristen's post was pretty generous because she sort of took Heather off the hook for being a horrible friend and homewrecker and pointed to her mental illness instead to explain her betrayal. Not sure I'd be able to frame it that way for myself, even if the person had passed.

Agreed. She can be proud of the fact that she chose to acknowledge Dooce, and also proud of how she did so. I respect her more for it. I know her heart will always ache at times over the pain of that friend/husband betrayal. That kind of pain never fully goes away, even if the causers of harm die. But Kristen took the high road here, while also putting a helpful reminder out to the public: that mental illness should be on our radar. It steals, kills, and destroys.[/quote]
