He's not a man that didnt want her. He destroyed her identity. Her family. Her whole life. Threw her in the bin like an old shoe. Still after all she's done for him, he just did not respect her enough to end things on good terms. He belittled her and cheated. Never take a man as your project. He is more powerful than you and he will take advantage and erase you once he has enough. Take yourself as a project and build up yourself as a woman instead of prioritizing his and everyone else's needs. Always

Imagine working your whole life for free because that's what happens when a woman gets divorced, men don't want a woman to have anything.

Patricia Cook are you aware of all the facts? She couldn’t have had everything still as you put it. Her husband screwed her over in secret using his legal knowledge to continuously reduce her financial entitlement to a pittance and after years of bringing up their children almost single handedly he removed even visitation rights. I don’t agree with what she did but he also gaslighted the hell out of her and drove her to this temporary insanity where his own appalling behaviour backfired in a terrible way for all the family. There were no winners.

[@rachaelgunn-mugisha291]

Dan (R.I.P.) drove her insane. The series really show both Dan (R.I.P.) & Betty’s characters pretty well. She’d lived all her life for her husband & children; Dan (R.I.P.) ripped her of everything she valued. The devaluing, rejection, abandonment etc…can really drive you insanely off your supposed personality. They both needed help however, stubbornness leads to no one winning. May their souls (Dan & Linda) continue to R.I.P. & I hope Betty found her peace plus the children too.

[@MechPhoenix]

Noone should condone what she did but you are very naive if you think he didn't gaslight her all the time by denying the truth when asked. He subtly pushed her to do things she will later regret, like getting her to burst in anger, just to let her believe she was the only responsible. And then he waited for the right moment to come out with his new life after he groomed his secretary. A man does not leave his "safe place", first he plans everything so e has a replacement and then hopes the woman leaves first. But Betty did not surrender so he asked for divorce.

IMO: *Betty* had no right to kill Dan. Yes, she gave him the best years of her life only for him to leave her for a younger woman, and I get that frustration, but she was a mother and should've prioritized her children's needs. They'll suffer forever for this. *Dan* was the lesser of 2 evils. He shouldn't have cheated, and the problems he and Betty had could've been handled better if they were both simply more mature. Still, he didn't deserve to die. *Linda* is the only one for whom I feel NO sympathy. She should've minded her own business. Instead, she messed with a married man and fanned the flames to an already problematic family. I once had a married man try to get with me, but I told him I wanted NONE of that trouble and then blocked him. I have enough problems in my life, lol. P.S.- However you feel about the story in real life, I think we can all agree Meredith Baxter is a PHENOMENAL actress!

She was fired from a previous job for being unprofessional - sitting on people’s laps and calling the mother of her boyfriends children fat etc in front of them. I would imagine she did send her nasty messages through the post.

AN INTELLIGENT WOMAN WHO HAS EMOTIONAL BALANCE DOESN'T FIGHT, DOESN'T GET DOWN, DOES NOT GO CRAZY, BUT KEEP QUIET, ENTER A GOOD DIVORCE AGREEMENT AND LET HER CHEATING HUSBAND GO! MOST MEN/HUSBANDS DO NOT VALUE A WIFE HOUSE WIFE, THEY JUST DON'T, THAT IS IT THE SAD TRUTH!

In these days coming out of the 1950s to the early 90s, women were still doing the PHT- putting hubby through. Betty taught school all those years he was going to undergrad and law School and she got burned.

Never rely on a man as your source of income, always have a back up plan in case he leaves you.

Why did this happen? It's because he opened the door to the devil with his adulteress affair. When you open the sin door, it's a tough one to close. Normally, all hell breaks loose because of it. He brought it on himself. 💯

[@normasanroman3142]

She pushed him to do it. There is no other side.

[@kerstinlofvander3140]

However and whatever Betty did, she put the focus on a very big issue. The woman in a marriage support her husband while he is taking his education, and than stay home and work 24/7 with the kids, while the guy does his carrier. And he leaves her for a younger woman and she has nothing. This is why I never had kids, and the birth rate has fallen. Who committed the biggest crime. He or Betty?

This story has me torned because I can empathize with Betty's situation at the time, but at the same time, she's a murderer so of course, I empathize with the victims. The fact that two of her kids don't think it's a good idea for her to get parole says a lot as well. 😩 This movie only had me watching her like she was off her hinges and it clearly doesn’t tell all of the story back then.

[@opaulamorgan4265]

As always, there are two sides to every story! From the beginning, when confronted by Betty about his affair with Linda, Dan denied it.! When Dan told her he was leaving, Betty's behavior became erratic and agressive. Dan served her with divorce papers after she entered his home and smeared cake over his bed, walls, etc. She returned to his home and broke furniture, dishes, and pictures. In the divorce settlement she was awarded $16,000 per month, but this did not satisfy her, nothing seemed to satisfy her! she fought about the money, the house, etc., But it was really about the betrayal! She was jealous of Linda because she had taken over her life with Dan. I think, given her behavior, Dan tried to deal with Betty as best he could, The more outrageous her behavior, and the more out of control she became, the more he reacted! His was the cool head! With his high profile and legal expertise, he had the edge. He fined her for leaving vulgar messages on his answering machine, which by the way, the children heard, and he was awarded custody of the children because of her unstableness.During this long drawn out battle with Dan, was she thinking about what effect her behavior was having on the children? Betty was a smart, attractive, woman, who could have made a life for herself without Dan Broderick, but unfortunately, to her detriment, she could not let go! Every woman who has experienced a similar situation, can identify with Betty's anger and bitterness, but she carried things too far. I think she intentionally killed Dan and Linda, for which she shows no remorse, and the jury got it right the second time, and she is now paying the ultimate price.

[@alexandriaa44]

After watching the Oprah interviews this just gives them life.. you can live and see what everyone went through!! It’s actually really cool to see.. I feel so bad for Betty up until she pulled that trigger which rarely happens..

[@belindacole71]

When you decide to have 4 children you should not let yourself get bitter. Even without children you should never allow yourself to get eaten up with hate and bitterness. It is a downward spiral not only for you but everyone around you.

[@maxinerobb5942]

I believe Betty Broderick was a very sick woman Narcissistic behaviour is a real illness. In her mind she was entitled, she was in control, and she was always right.I have had first experience of that and the moment you decide to pull away that's when hell is unleashed. When seeing that control dimensioning it tipped her over the edge. I feel empathy for all parties especially the children.
