Nah, not this time. We all knew she wouldn't have meant it the way it appeared. - stick around and you'll know soon enough.

She does. On a regular basis.
Glad to hear that. I know that as parents we think sometimes our children wouldn't do anything like that but when you get alcohol involved and the temptation, it's sometimes hard to ignore.

Also I watch "Disappear" with my daughter because I wanted to make sure if there was an epidemic of missing girls, I wanted to see how I could protect her more. It has relieved my mind somewhat that most of the disappearances are again because of alcohol or hanging with the wrong crowd. We let our guards down when we drink and we trust people too much. Very venerable in that frame of mind. Who hasn't done that and thought those close to them would protect them or even didn't think they were putting themselves in harm's way? You really, really have to watch yourself out there nowadays.

I think sometimes we don't do enough when someone is in a DV situation. In this case, she filed for divorce at the same time as a TRO, yet she didn't go into hiding - or protection some way. I don't think we can all know when we are over-reacting or appropriately reacting in this kind of situation. In this woman's case, she under-reacted and the community did as well. She and her children have paid a high price.

He ranted about how she drained his account that he allowed axcess to and bought pain killers on the street that she was addicted to. He ranted about how she would stay home sleeping half the day.

So then I said well next time get a nice girl, and be more careful. Which he replied "well yeah, but she was so hot and sex ready, she would just rip my clothes off".

Yep, sometimes or most of the time (and reading posts in this forum) alot of people are really into their and their mates bodies or looks and dismiss their bad behavior because their having great sex or looking hot. What a damn shame that way of thinking is!

Well the point is women and men can put up or accept bad people for various reasons but usually because of sex or not wanting to be alone. My customer was a guy who wasn't exactly a great looking guy so obviously he was willing to be pillaged and used for the sake of sex with a hot chick years younger than he. Looks matter to most people but some people are willing to be walked on for it.

I wonder if he'll really turn himself in... or if we'll hear a "breaking news update" that he fled to some other country or killed himself.

He did, and they haven't charged him yet.
