Surely you will admit she was a pretty frail vessel to "walk out when she wanted" after five pregnancies, two psychotic episodes, three hospitilizations, encounters with jezebel pronouncing fanatic preachers, a control freak unemotional husband and a Dr. by name of Sayeed who took her off antipsychotics, homeschooling, moving from home to trailor to bus back to small home while helping her mom, who couldn't make court monday cause of a tv appearance leaving daughter to get formal sentencing without a single family member there, care for dying altzheimers Dad. All the while losing weight, saying little, staring into space, stinking and hallucinating. If you can't see that she is not the kind of woman who walks out, then you have no heart.Rusty Yates is a cold man, that much is very evident.

So we need to step into marriages and save women if we think they are fragile? That would go over well. Where was her family?

I think you have just hit the nail on the old head, there, cajungirl.(obligatory "of course that doesn't excuse what she did" clause insert here).

And, AppyPappy, that is a good question---where, exactly, was her family during this??? Sounds like the whole freakin' clan was effed up.

I think it IS our responsibility to step in when we see situations like this happening. If just one person(outside the family, obviously) had asked her how she is doing or offered to help, maybe....well, hindsight is 20/20--we'll never know.

Just want to be clear that it is DEFINETLY NOT, in ANY WAY the GOVERNMENT's responsibility to step in. Please read the previous statement carefully, if anyone has an intention to flame me for being a commie.

BTW, cajungirl, your FR date is exactly one year ahead of mine. :^)
