He lost his job due to the abuse of his first wife. I have to wonder if she knew this.
I would think she would. I'm not blaming the victim at all BUT we do have to take responsibility for our actions. There are consequences to our actions whether good or bad.
Not to go off subject, but I wish Natalee Halloway would have used more common sense then to go off with 3 strange boys. I always wondered why the other girls in her group or the chaperons didn't stop her from leaving the bar with them.
So many people take the "What you do in Vegas, stays in Vegas" mentality when they vacation.
I wish Natalee's mother would go to high schools and colleges telling young people the dangers of not going off with strangers.
I don't believe in contacting the ex. You can see "red flags" of an abuser and she should have picked them up when she was dating him. Hot tempered, controlling, etc. - those traits were there when they were dating, I'm sure.
There are some people that are good at hiding their true self but still going to an ex will always be different because some people are different in each dating situations.
You know, I wonder. It seems like such an invasion of privacy to me and I really can't say that I would trust the word of an ex, though it may have saved me a lot of grief. In this case, he was a cop and lost his job. No telling what he may have said to his new wife, that he left to pursue a career as a PA....or maybe she knew and figured he would be different with her, as many women do. Either way, this kind of thing is so out there that the average bear couldn't really see it as something that could or would happen to them until they're already knee deep in it.

Absolutely. Still, it is easy for us to say this, being on this end of what happened to her. I would love for her family to share her experiences someday, if for no other reason than to educate about the warning signs.
It was sarcasm. We've had many discussions here on this topic where so many people think it's that easy to walk away, that these women are asking for it and they enjoy being in these situations.

I agree. Now, don't shoot me down but both were Italian and their culture is known for men being men and women being women. I think all the signs were there but she dismissed them thinking he was just being a man. She could have grown up believing that.
With my own culture and family, there was alot of inappropriate and bad signs and I didn't "get it" until I was much older. So sometimes our upbringing can do us in.
