On the local Topix, there is a lot of nasty fighting going on about the wife of Timmy Madden. The truth is she is very sick. I don't know her personally, but have spoken with her several times. She worked at the Advance Auto in Scottsville. She would be in the store, nearly every time I went in there. She was very petite, bright, alert...She appeared to know a lot about her job. She was very helpful.
One day when I was in the store, I mentioned having to take one of my children to Vanderbilt. Jodi mentioned she had an appt. the following week there, because the docs. thought she had a serious auto-immune disorder, one that had destroyed one of her eyes. One of her eyes was obviously blind. I would never have asked her what happened, but assumed it was an injury, because the eye was noticeably blind.
After that conversation, I never saw her in the store again....Although she had worked there for quite some time.
The difference in the past Jodi and the present Jodi, as shown on the recent video was shocking.... her tone of voice, her weight gain, her needing a walker.There is no need for anyone to assume, this isn't a very sick woman. I have read that TM was taking almost complete care of her in recent months. I am certain she was isolated, even if just by this serious illness. Her speech in comparison to prior to her illness, seems to indicate she has had a stroke.
I don't know why Jodi has spoken out in defense of her spouse. It could be that she is scared he will come back home. It could be that she has been so groomed, by what may have been her abuser, that she doesn't see what is right in front of her. She could be in shock and be so sick and medicated she can't yet comprehend all this. She may not have enough information to accept that someone she lived with, had babies with, who took care of her could be a cold-blooded rapist and killer.
I think we should wait and give this woman time to absorb what has happened...Can you only imagine? So many lives have been destroyed by this monster...So has this woman's....I believe before she got sick, she was the breadwinner of this family. I don't think TM had worked, since 2014. This woman has babies and is very sick...I hope she will come to understand the gravity of this situation...I also hope our community won't throw her under the bus, for something she did not cause, did not carry out, and should not be sentenced for. Truth is...We live in a little hick town...Things could be very rough for this sick woman and her family. I don't see anyway she can leave...Just sad!
