Oh I totally agree with you, Fitz! But I blame her husband who supposidly was still sharing a bed, like most husbands and wives do, surely he saw her decline in physical appearance--I mean forgodsakes, she stopped bathing and washing her long hair, the signs were there!

As Andrea's mother said, he tells everyone else what to do, but he doesn't like anyone telling him what to do. He owned her like a piece of luggage (oh yes the mother mentioned him believing women were inferior and should be subserviate), and there is no way that family could get her out of there (especially since she was crazy enough not to complain and stay with him).

"Blame her husband".

I was thinking about cases where a dangerous DOG gets loose, goes out and mauls a child to death. What usually transpires? The dog ends up being "put to death" (or the big sleep), and the owner of that dog goes to trial for being the responsible party in the victim's death.

I think of Andrea as being the "mad dog" and Rusty being the "owner". It's about the only way to eventually resolve of all of this, strange as it sounds.
