Here's my biggest issue...Her attitude does say a lot. The sad part is her exploitation of DV victims for her defense. For example, you can be a domestic violence victim and have enjoyed some of or all of the sex and shouldn't be condemned for it. Some who commit DV can be very charming and beloved, but the problem is the entirety of Jodi's story simply doesn't add up. I know some won't but I hope most DV victims understand that they are not on trial and Jodi is simply an exploitative liar with no limit to how low she will go.
Some DV victim will essentially be on trial - some day, somewhere - because of the likes of Jodi. Every single person who claims abuse that wasn't actually abused make it that much harder on every real victim.
I've seen it in action. In my case, where the abuse was predominately emotional, I was viewed as a spiteful spouse until my ex was arrested for rape. Then the family court thought I might just be telling the truth.
Since then, in volunteering, I've seen the same story play out time and time again - and not all those survivors have been near so lucky. (I'm in another country and my ex is court-ordered ONLY to write to our kiddos. I have final say if I turn over the letters due to repeated verbal abuse and manipulation.)
It makes me hate her all the more. Every single day.
