I’m doing exactly what I get annoyed with other posters for doing.. popping into the middle of a thread asking a question that everybody knows the answer to. Took a long break, have been reading the last several threads. How was it revealed that SM was a victim of domestic violence? Can someone point me to where I can read about it or just briefly tell me about it? BM is accused of first degree murder, so I’m confused why there appears to be a group.. though small, of posters who feel more negatively toward SM than BM.
Maybe because she was going to church every Sunday, and disappeared on the Mother’s Day? She did become a symbol of domestic abuse from a lying and controlling man, but a symbol in snow-white clothes, and now they think the clothes are tainted?
It has to come from me, because I am not a religious person. No religious denomination or lack thereof defines us, humans. We stay happy or unhappy, we feel the same, we make the same decisions. And to me, the fact that Suzanne had an affair did not take anything from her, as a person. Gave one more reason to BM to murder her, if he knew.
She had a relationship, but was afraid to leave BM. She brought the money in the form of inheritance, but had to Google Ecuador to find cheap healthcare. BM controlled everything, her finances, decisions, time. After her disappearance, he controlled how she’d vote. Even this.
And she bought the pen hoping to catch Barry cheating. There must have been some symptoms.
She was unhappy, isolated from her friends, and living in a taxidermiac castle, fully at his mercy.
Thinking of it in a different way. If my mom had a relationship, I’d understand her. Humans fall in love, or think they do. But if my dad killed her for it, I’d never forgive him, for taking my mom away from me.
