Okay, I'm never gonna get caught up tonight and if I don't ask these questions now I'll probably forget.
This has bugged be all day at work. I've written Jodi off as a psychopath because it's unnerving to think that any person around me is capable of doing something this heinous BUT I keep hitting this wall; if Jodi is a psychopath and is incapable of feeling normal emotions like love, guilt, fear ( she is a really calm liar and called the detective herself) how can she feel rage? I get stuck there because I do see rage in the way she killed Travis. Is that possible in a psychopath, to feel some emotions but not others?
In the post I have read today I see some are bound and determined to shift at least some of the blame. Are all of them women? I ask because the post read that way. I can't imagine the same things being discussed if a man had done this to a woman, or less. I have even read post that appear to be trying to marginalize the crime "it's not the worst" or " not Bundy" and the like. Really? One post even compared the case with another one where the woman was free today and seemed to suggest that the DA's cases should have been argued in the same fashion as that one (don't recall the post or case sited) but seriously, WTH?
Why is it so much more interesting to try and figure out how TA royally screwed up by continuing to have sex with Jodi than to ponder why SHE slit his throat, stabbed him nearly 30 times and shot him in the face? Is it because she is a woman and some women feel a kinship with her because of the rejection? Or just because she's a woman? If that is the price of membership to the Sisterhood you can collect my membership card any time. I'm wholly uninterested in identifying with someone just because we both have





.
And yes, I've been there. Been lied to by one of the best liars. Cheated on. Rejected. Used. It happens. Most of us learn from it and grow. One of the best lessons is what kind of people to avoid and how you will NOT be treated ever. I hold NO sympathy for this woman because we have shared similar experiences. None. I will give her no quarter.
One of these two people are really truly effed up and it isn't one who's dead.
