That's nice. Too bad we've grown out of the feudal era, and annullment no longer has any status effect on the children. She, as well as some others here, need to rejoin reality.
The interesting thing to me is that she blames her lonliness and anger and depression on the political life. I suspect living with JFK, unbearable narcissist that he is, sucked the life and the air out of her world.
What always disturbs me is that he left her when she was so ill and left the children. And now as the world has turned, she has just finished a course of chemo while her daughters, abandoned by their father, are at his side helping him in his ambition to hear "hail to the Chief".
With his rich wife, his political life, his ambtion, there are his daughters. And the first wife is at home with cancer. I dont know about anyone else, but I would be at my motheers side.
What does an annullment mean to the Catholic Church? What is it saying, versus a divorce? The only way I can understand it is just as Thorne did. And it is no reflection on the children when Daddy is ill-behaved. It says to me that John Kerry disgraced his wife and children through the annullment. Whether that was deserved is another matter.
