You obviously look at it from another angle - fine - but please don't assume my view isn't conservative. I never said he should be living on a street corner begging for money - he earned the money but she is his wife and mother of his children - just as many women are stay at home moms - their job was to raise the children and provide a home for them, as a family. Sure Elin has a little easier time of that with the wealth - I don't have servants and nannys - but my job involves making everything run in this household so my husband can relax when he is not working - he doesn't view his income as his - it is ours.
We will see how this all plays out - I don't think Tiger's career is over - but his reputation will never be the same. He will get to see his kids, when he can fit them in between bimbos.
Emotional Harm? What emotional harm, these kids are too young to know anything more than mommy is mad at daddy, and that’s at best what the older of the two MIGHT be able to grasp, beyond that, they were not emotionally harmed.
Now, keeping them from seeing their father out of petty anger and spite, that is emotionally wrong. Like it or not, he is their father, and in spite of how much of a horndog and louse you or I or anyone else may find Tiger to be accusing him of emotional abuse of his kids is rediculous.
The biggest losers in nearly every divorce are the kids, and clearly these two are going to be nothing but pawns in this game and its despicable and wrong for her to do that, no matter how wronged she may feel.
I’m all for the value of stay at home moms. In this case, she’s very rich and even the “paltry” millions she would get under the prenup would make her wealthy, along with huge child support.
And if they do divorce, do you think she’s going to marry a truck driver next time? You’ve seen her, plus she’s famous and was married to a billiuonaire. I think she’s going to do quite well for herself.
If she hadn’t gotten physical, she would deserve only sympathy for what we know about this situation. I really don’t like the attitude that physical violence bya woman is ok if she was wronged.
When this type of “heat of passion” defense was accepted, it was used by jealous husbands who shot their wives. No one should be in favor of bringing that back. Your husband cheats on you, divorce him or work it out. You don’t get a freebie physical assault.
Just my thoughts.
