It’s exactly what I thought. A Poor costarían woman married my brother while having a lover since before marrying him and kept him afterwards. Then she found another guy, then another, when they got very wealthy, she failed for divorce, and wanted to leave him on the street Without a penny. At the end she ended up with 3 homes a building and 4 clothing stores. And $900 a month for the children which are taken care by their many because the mother is always out with her new 11 years younger boyfriend spending all the money. The children clothes look like poor kids my brothers is Salvadorans. My point is, some women married for the money not love.

That’s what I was thinking too,

[@basicleighdisney5643]

That was my thought, too. I also understand that it happens a lot in real abuse cases. But she had already filed for divorce and her pictures of the supposed abuse were a few minor looking injuries. This guy would've inflicted a lot worse looking injuries if he'd done it and she would've had a lot more pictures than she had because abuse doesn't happen a few times and then it's over. It is a continual and pretty frequent act. Pictures like that aren't proof and they were in places that she easily could do herself. I definitely do not condone abuse. It's a serious thing. In many cases it's an uphill battle to prove. But if she was truly in fear for her life, her injuries would support that. The injuries she had don't support being in fear of your life. Also, people who actually do get substantial injuries usually hide them and they also don't go around telling multiple people because they're too afraid of the consequences of having people know about it. She was setting up a narrative once she figured out that the divorce would leave her without as much as she wanted. She benefits way way more if he's dead. This was a pretty clear cut case, in my opinion. Real abuse victims don't behave the way she did.

Here's my reason for pause and not really believing her claims of abuse. IF she was so scared of him then WHY stay in the house with him while going through a divorce? Before they made him move out? I'm sorry but if a man has forced himself upon me more than once, I'd have already left. She stayed because she wanted that lifestyle. Greedy. Imo.

[@ailleananaithnid2566]

Oh, please don’t say it: “Why did she stay?” 😣 When someone (man, woman, child) is exposed to years of abuse, they have a low or nonexistent self-esteem. They remain in the same house for many reasons. When your self-esteem has been beaten out you, you begin to think abuse is what you deserve. Or she could believe she can’t make it by herself. The fact that she stayed in that house doesn’t mean she was/wasn’t abused. Most of the time, the battered partner has nowhere else to go bc the batterer controls all the money. Are you truly unaware that the most dangerous time is when they move out (or tell the abuser that the relationship is over)??? Where have you been living ? Her claims are questionable bc her “injuries” are minor and easily self-inflicted. Battered women often have bruises in various stages of healing all over their body. Fractured fingers. One had a fractured humorous (a “spiral” fracture) after her husband violently twisted her arm behind her back. Another woman had a fractured skull after being hit in the back of the head with a (police issue) MagLite flashlight. While Lulu could very well have experienced relationship violence, the classic indicia aren’t there. Ramon didn’t cut her off from her support systems. He didn’t cut off her access to money & transportation. For example, she was able to go to the ATM to withdraw a sizable sum of cash for the down payment for the hitman. Bottom line: her situation lacks the coercive control which is the core of domestic abuse. And what of his first wife? Abusers are serial offenders. If Ramon abused LuLu, it’s almost certain that there was violence in his first marriage. There was no mention of it here. Never dismiss claims of domestic violence bc “she stayed.” After 40 years of public awareness, I can’t believe anyone would still say that.

[@lynzyrisingsun]

From there I made necessary changes and never got to go home again. My husband plotted to have poachers shot me years before this final event. Thiis happened almost 40 years ago. My kids have been seriously damaged emotionally. The youngest who was only 8 at the time has had a tortured life and I have as well. The older two have done well but the abandonment has harmed them fundamentally. It haunts me that I lived with a man for 20 years who hated me and wanted me dead and not til the very end did I see it so clearly. The neglect that I suffered over those 20 years ruined my chance to have love at all. I wish I had had someone to help expose this. It was more than a one man operation.
