Michael may have been a jerk, Terri may have been insecure; a bad combination and almost guaranteed to cause stress. Perhaps it just built up with Terri, but we'll never know.
Those who knew her, said that she was becoming more self-confident.
People like MS seek out insecure partners for their own purposes. Terri had a weight problem during puberty, and it probably trashed her self esteem. According to several sources, MS was the first man Terri dated. Btw, although she could have dabbled in bulimia and anorexia, her body could have just "grown up". My second oldest daughter had a terrible weight problem, and overnight she shot up 4 inches, and dropped over 50 lbs. She was in her late teens.
People say my judgement is tainted, but I've walked the walk. I have health problems from dealing with 27 years of flight/fight adrenalin rushes. It is very likely that MS will get away scot-free. I've seen that happen on a personal level. Imo, some people (the Clintoons come to mind) have "Satanic protection". They wiggle out of everything. Nothing sticks to them.
I am fiercely interested that justice be done. Not just for Terri, but all victims and targets of sociopaths.
