Thank you so much for that post. It's amazing when I meet such intelligent minds that can so easily understand where I'd be coming from. I learned the whole "you're entitled to your feelings and emotions" way too late in adult hood. <3
I understand exactly what you're saying. Although I believe that if she took a protective order out, she most likely isn't lying.
My X complains very loudly and and very publicly about her mental health issues, her multiple rapes, and physical abuse...obviously now looking back I question so much of what she'd told me, and it disgusts me as a woman that other women are undoing what we're trying to educate society about, and they're crying Wolf.
As I said in my previous post, I'm still very angry and bitter about my own personal experiences and I wouldn't hesistate to rip my X a new hole or two, especially if I knew she was involved with something sinister and I felt that putting the spotlight on her character and past would help point LE in the right direction. I'm still telling the truth, however unsavory and angry I tell it.
If ER believes in her heart that MR had something to do with her son's disappearance, I wouldn't fault her for her not wanting long drawn out speculation on who it could be.
That said, I wouldn't want to nullify MR's pain or exhaustion just yet, as he's not been ruled as a POI or suspect.
The state and FBI agencies are called in by the local agencies to assist them in the investigation. In fact the local jurisdiction must request their assistance. They just cant barge in when not asked.
