It sounds like Kendy was unloved, abused, scared, alone in her marriage, and looking for love wherever she could find it. It’s so sad when a happy, upbeat, loving, outgoing person gets with a boring, grumpy, controlling, domineering stick-in-the-mud who ruins (or even takes) their happy life. My narcissistic ex-husband promised me all the love in the world and pretended to want a real marriage and connection. As soon as we were married, he turned into a controlling, critical, emotionless robot who wanted to be alone all the time and couldn’t stand it if I wanted to (God forbid) leave the house to do a fun activity. Poor Kindy and her family.

Domestic violence is a global problem. Women should not be scared to tell someone about this.

[@shelteredsparrow2736]

You are so right I remember a time when I went to a women’s house for a weekly meeting that would be held there. I could hear her being beat up by a man. I was so frustrated and scared for her. We were in a third world country. There was no 911 I could call. I was so scared for her and so frustrated because there was nothing I could do. I felt that if I knocked on the door I would have just made it worse since I couldn’t do anything to protect her after I left. My heart breaks for how little I could do. She was such an amazing person. If there are any people who pray please pray for her

[@GailLesikar-g5t]

It doesn’t matter what the situation is with your spouse, if you are set in getting a divorce, move out first before you plan to ever send the divorce papers. Living under the same roof, especially with a controlling person and bringing home a divorce petition while having an affair is nothing more than asking for it. I feel terrible she died, but some people can only take so much. There is a “lot” of anger when a spouse totally betrays you, and for a controlling man, well it’s no surprise he lost it, with her right in front of his face. You gotta think and remember: other people (your spouse) do not feel good when you’re cheating on them and leaving them: it’s tough.

Interesting that only the living and generous and beautiful are victims of violence. Seriously, she was cheating. There’s rarely a totally innocent victim. There’s usually some antagonism involved… some action or word that triggers the offender. I’m certainly not saying she deserved this, she surely didn’t.
