Why would it be a lie? Perhaps Terri has more self esteem than you give her credit for. Would you tolerate this type of behavior from your spouse? You see? It isn't a lie, it is common sense that she would want a divorce. Some say she was through with him before she had her "accident".
Of course, Michael desperately needs to remain in his position as her guardian. This will ensure that she never regains the ability to tell anyone what really happened...and the corrupt judge and legal system is playing along with him.
Justice, my rear end.
If she didn't say it, it would be a lie to say she did. I know that may be a complicated concept, but think hard on it and maybe you'll get it.
If my husband cheated on me I might be able to forgive and go back to him, but if that affair created 2 children I'd be divorcing him right away and I'm sure most women would do the same!
