I suspect Holloway's mother is a lib. Anyone else thinks that ?

Beth's still crazy, Natalee's still dead.

So ends a romance for the ages.

Losers in the blame game.

I was wondering what a toll the whole thing was taking on the family and marveled at his devotion as a stepfather. There is also a younger son, who has probably had no attention whatsoever since this whole thing began. The whole thing is so very, very sad. And it was so avoidable.

She's dead Beth

[nmh]

I'm not surprised.

Her mom is obsessed with her daughter ... as a step parent this may grow old ...I'm not saying the divorce is right but guessing on why it is happening.

but will this be a Fox News headline?

[spectre]

I'd like to put in a kind word for "Jug".

He has supported Beth in so many ways since Natalee went missing. It cost him time and money, but he managed to hold it together for a year and a half.

Now, with this latest lawsuit, he may not be able to take anymore and just wanted to get on with a somewhat normal life, and put it all behind him. I don't think they've spent much time together since that terrible day in Aruba, which would put a strain on anyone's marriage.

I'm sorry for the whole family..

I expected this happen, not surprised at all. He had not appeared with her in public in quite some time.

I know there is no such thing as "closure" when it comes to something like this, but I do hope that she can regain her life again.

I always thought the mother was stupid for letting an 18 year old go without proper supervision.

[devane617]

Who didn't see this train wreck before it happened? Beth loves the spotlight, and from many news articles spends much of her time in LA...

No marriage can survive a daily dose of grief.At some point in time,some type of a medium is necessary.I believe he could not stand the everyday self induced pain and grief,and at some point wanted his wife and life back.In my opinion,he did not see that ever happening.I feel bad for them all,and Aruba is not the place for partying kids,as evidenced by their justice system.

[gawatchman]

As I see it, there seems to be a little too much selfishness going around that people see divorce as an answer to marital problems instead of maybe seeking counseling in an effort to honor one's vows, and help your spouse. I don't know what happened exactly here, but I get the feeling this could have been avoided.

[daybreakcoming]

Funny, I had a feeling this was coming on. But I figured she would be the one to file. Jug seemed to be less and less of a rock as time went on as if he wanted his own life back.

[BamaAndy]

What began as the worst tragedy imaginable has now taken up lesser tragedies. It is something no parent should ever be dealt in life but it is. And when it happens, I for one, can't even come close to knowing how it could feel or be--beyond comprehension, beyond any understanding, and something that makes the rest of life for the parent much less.
God bless the family that's left. I hope all can find some measure of peace in a hateful, dangerous world.

WOW!

[lainie]

Holy smokes. I am astounded at the comments on this thread.
