Very interesting, if true.
The most telling thing (again, if true) is that HER family [/b]refused[b] to intervene when asked to do so by her husband (he alleges).
People don't become alcoholics, bulimics, seriously depressed, etc., for NO reason. Yes, mental illness happens, but there are always warning signs, and if those around you refuse to see them and do anything about it -- finding treatment as a start, well, they are part of the problem.
Her family of origin sounds as screwed up as the Kennedys.
Sad story, but I really feel for her kids. What must they have gone through all those years, and the youngest is only 10. I hope they have trust funds large enough to cover a lifetime of therapy!
Her husband asked her family to intervene. They declined. They must have been in denial. I actually feel sorry for him.
- she "boxed" him with a permanent injury to his tearduct
- she was hiding his daughter's belongings to get her in trouble
- she was threatening suicide in front of the children
- she threw spaghetti plates at him in front of the children
- she swung punches at him in front of the children
- she attacked him with scissors in the bath
- she was caught DUI twice
- the police was called to the house twice (?) times, she was so drunk she was incoherent
- the judge apparently agreed that she was an unfit mother and could not even have visitation without athird party present
Anyone would divorce such a trainwreck.
The man deserves
Perhaps facts. Perhaps not. Do you think it's possible that a person who wants a divorce will be giving his/her version of events?

Her family didn't refuse to intervene; they weren't allowed to.

I know the family. Kennedy is a creep. This is not news to anyone who knows this family..only thing is why anyone would marry into this family..spouses do not seem to do well. So sorry for the kids. Just awful.

Patricia Lawford Stewart, who was married to former Kennedy in-law Peter Lawford, reached out to The Post after last week’s funeral for Mary, appalled — but not surprised — by the Kennedy clan’s insistence that Mary was a lifelong depressive and alcoholic.
Before the funeral, Mary’s former sister-in-law and self-described “best, best friend,” Kerry Kennedy, strolled over to the press pool. “Mary suffered from depression,” Kerry said. “She was battling those demons.”
Robert, according to Robert’s eulogy, was just a good husband who tried so hard to help, not the boozy ex-heroin addict who publicly ran around on his wife, cut her off financially and took custody of their children, thereby demolishing every aspect of her life and identity.
“The Kennedy family is on damage control 24/7,” Stewart says. “They were ruinous to my husband, and they have harassed me for the last 28 years. I’m 54 years old, and I can’t deal with this crap anymore.”
Stewart first met the young RFK Jr. in 1976, when he showed up on the Lawfords’ doorstep in LA unannounced, having been kicked out by his widowed mother, Ethel. He was wearing his late father’s suit, rumpled. Robert sat on the sofa, and they made small talk for a few minutes while Peter was in the shower.
“Then he said, ‘I wish you weren’t married to my uncle — I’d like to f--- you right here on the couch,’ ” Stewart says. “That was a shocker. I knew him for four minutes.”
At the time, Stewart was 19 years old. She says she took her husband aside and told him what had happened. “He said, ‘Nothing’s changed,’ ” Stewart says. “I was taken aback. But he was sucked in too.”
Mmm, she does not make the bet witness, with her axe to grind.

It sounds like she was pretty seriously depressed, and it's very sad, particularly for her children, that she didn't get sufficient help with her problems.
It's astonishing to find out these horrible details that go on inside families, especially those who are rich, famous and put forward a cheerful, everything's great! face to the world.
I can't imagine threatening suicide in front of my children, but didn't he or anyone help her get counseling, or into a hospital when she was so profoundly depressed? He's a real jerk overall, and yes, they sound like an absolutely dreadful, hopeless combination. But in the end, it's their children who suffer the most, and will suffer from this for the rest of their lives. Very, very sad story for everyone involved. Money, fame and good looks don't bring happiness!

Mary Kennedy was pretty messed up too - anorexic, alcoholic BEFORE she even began the affair with Kennedy. Not a great match....both had many issues.

No, nasty thoughts at all. But I have problems with weak women who allow themselves to be defined by their husbands and what their husbands do for a living. Oh, I am going to grow up and marry a doctor. I want a rich big-law attorney for a husband. Better yet, I think I will marry a Kennedy or Rockerfellow,
And, this particular woman knew what she was doing before she married the man. He was married to another woman who began his tryst with her. Did she think about his first wife, when she began her affair with this married man who left his first wife for her. Did not the first wife lose the kennedy following. Perhaps I am wrong, but the first wife did not take her life because a Kennedy divorced her. Perhaps the first wife did not allow herself to be simply defined by a man, more importantly, a Kennedy man.
