Allowed? I must of missed something. I thought she was an adult.
If she wanted to leave the house she should have picked up the phone, called a sitter, and left. Let's quit trying, along with the liberals, to portray her as some sort of hopeless prisoner. She was a grown woman who made and was responsible for her own choices -- including the decision to have more children. If she made a bad choice in husbands, well, it was *her* choice.
Please, no more of the victim mentality -- not on FR of all places.
