Through life's experiences I never liked the look of Mr. Edwards or his politics. There was just something about him. However, I wanted to like him, he was from NC, had faced the loss of a son to which I could have never imagined the pain, his remaining family was solid his wife battled cancer and he continued to go on.
The affair didn't surprise me at all. Deep down I knew he was a "snake in the grass". I read Elizabeth's books and watched her on Oprah waxing eloquent after total humiliation. She became my hero until I thought about it more. Hillary Clinton once stated that she was not the little woman who stood by her man. She was her own person, yet she stood by her man when he disgraced her and her daughter in front of the entire world. Elizabeth did the same thing. I know there is money and prestige involved. Perhaps some security. I know that in my meager life there is no way I would ever let my husband betray me with multiple affairs and a love child in front of my family and friends, much less the world. Kudos to Jenny Sanford and the many others who chose to get out. Hope Elin Woods has the strength to do the same.
It seems we get a free pass when we are addicted be it alcohol, drugs, sex, pain-killers and so much more. I am not so naive to know that these are serious problems and have created so my jobs that makes our country great.
It is time for all of us to abide by God's Commandments and our marriage vows. We would be so much better off.
