She was blinded to her husband's faults, that seemed so obvious to us. She had built an image of her husband in her mind that was bigger than life and that fit the man that she wanted him to be, her own personal knight in shining armor. Delusional, probably, but she isn't the only woman to have ever fallen in love with a cad, and pay the price for it. We have heard stories about how John Edwards treated neighbors and how he behaved in court. What do you think he was like behind the closed doors of their home? I bet it was pretty awful. I also bet that the wife, once an attractive, talented young lawyer, herself, was mentally beaten down to the status of a combination housemaid, mother, hostess for John's friends and business acquaintances. Her book is telling the world, I was in denial, I stood my man, but nothing will ever be the same again. She is saying that she realizes that John Edwards is not the man that she thought he was, but that is what she has to deal with now, because she still needs him.
She’s as much of a schmuck as he is.
When she has sympathy for pre-born babies and stops actively working for their murder, I’ll consider a little empathy her way. She best be worrying about the Words of another book if she truly is in a terminal situation.
He's a trial lawyer who “channeled” the voice of a dead child in court.
Very good insights...
I saw a picture of Elizabeth with her little boy years before he died, and she was a beautiful woman. She's had to deal with so much sadness.
