Yeah she said the Dr. said he lost 10lbs. Looks like he lost more than 10 based on his appearance on the first case. But I guess that a slightly oversized suit can hide things too.

[@KayB-l5h]

She bitter AF. She suing him for what happened in 1987 😳 She tried to embarrass him but ended up embarrassing herself. I believe him that she was a bad wife just from her demeanor. She say she left him in 96 and he started crack in 2007 she is a liar that it ruined the marriage. Seems like she don't like the grown kids having to do anything with him instead of following her lead.

[@sereneamani1713]

I never get the true meaning of bitterness as you and others describe it. What do you think this man could have contributed to their marriage or the raising of their children that was beneficial? What did he say he contributed? How did he describe his spousal and fatherhood behaviors? Perhaps, she doesn't like the idea of him living off of his children. As someone who works in the mental health/substance abuse field, I am very empathic toward addicts/recovering addicts, but they wreak a lot of havoc on their families during their active addiction and often slow and long recovery periods. Just from my experience, I have some ideas about what he was doing during the years that she thought he wasn't engaging in addictive behaviors. I think a better perspective is a family and society perspective rather male/female fault-finding battles. Oh, and I agree the ex-wife's case didn't hold weight.
