I can not celebrate a death occuring in a state of bitterness and hatred, even if it involves two liberals.
This is very sad to me.
I think it’s mainly the fact that Elizabeth, embittered as she was, was hurting emotionally. It was her only way of striking back at Edwards for what he did to her and their kids. Then too I’m told she was a very antagonistic woman during their marriage and that could be a mitigating circumstance as to why Edwards did what he did. It’s not an excuse though. You make a commitment to someone and you stick to it. Other than that you obtain a divorce and go your separate ways.
