She looks like him, bless her heart. Her death got me to go to marriage counseling, so I’ll be saying Rosaries for her for the rest of my life.
He claimed she called him and said, “You were right about everything. It’s all my fault.” And I said, “I say that all the time.” And then I said, “Oh, sh*t, what the blithering bleepin freep is wrong with me?”
And now, after a couple of months of therapy - in which my husband had the therapist completely snowed - I know what’s happened, and I know what I can do, and I’m the person who somehow produced Anoreth, the world’s toughest 5’1” pirate hunter.
Thank you, Mary. I’ll see you.
Good for you- stay strong!
God Bless you....prayers.
Dang.
This week I purchased through amazon.com, 2 incredible books. I got them yesterday and was up past midnight reading. The books are “Why Does He Do That?” and “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” by Lundy Bancroft. The customer reviews found at the book listing at amazon convinced me I needed these books to figure out what to do. I read half of the first book last night. So far the insights given into the mind of controlling abusers have been priceless. The author goes into how abusers of all kinds “snow” their therapists, or the people who lead the court ordered anger management classes. RFK jr seems to be a “controlling,narcissistic, entitled abuser”. His poor wife was driven to suicide by that monster.
I don’t feel a shred of sympathy for her. I’m glad her death was able to help you somehow, but this chick knew exactly what she was doing. He was still married when they started “dating”. So she was sleeping with a married man.
I most sincerely hope you don’t end up the same place she did.
My goodness. Tax-chick, I’ve admired your posts for years. You are one smart and informed lady that I’d be proud to call my friend.
You are the amazing mother of such beautiful children! They will keep you going, I know that in my heart.
You will be in my prayers.

Oh dear...I am so sorry to hear you’re going through all this. I sincerely wish I could help in some way. You have a beautiful family and they’re lucky to have you for a mother. Stay strong and don’t be afraid to reach out for a shoulder to cry on or steady you through this. Even if that shoulder is here online.
Thank you all for your support and kindness. I feel hopeful about my life for the first time in a long time, and I just felt like I owed Mary Kennedy a debt, may she rest in peace.
