I assume nothing, which is why I wish someone be charged, and this would go to court. Then we'd have some data.
Your point about Stacy Peterson illustrates mine. There was a pattern of behavior with a prior spouse and with Stacy, multiple times. She knew, she just couldn't face what she knew. But she knew, and had made others aware of what she knew.
But the point is also that some people are really good at keeping a separate life away from other people. Unless you've directly dealt with someone that can lie well and make you believe things that aren't true, you have no idea what lengths people will go to deceive other people. I have dealt with a person like that myself, and believe me, while the deception is going on, you have little to no idea how bad of person you're dealing with until after it's over or until they have decided that you are not worth anything to them anymore and they leave you high and dry or get you into trouble you don't even deserve.
I am tired of the notion that all people should see the signs and stop things before they happen. In some cases, that is true. In some cases, even I'm going, why did that person not see what was wrong here? But in a lot of cases, it's not. I don't think Kaine could have imagined that Terri would want to hurt Kyron much less want Kaine dead. There's no telling what lies she was spinning and what kind of second life she was keeping away from Kaine. Apparently she was good at deceiving others and convincing them that she is something she really is not. Kaine does NOT deserve to be criticized for not being psychic and knowing that he was married to a time bomb.
I'm sure he does feel like an idiot for not seeing it sooner, but dangit, if she was NOT telling him that things were wrong and was only b****ing to other people about it, if she was acting around Kaine like their marriage was perfect or things were at least okay but telling her friends the complete opposite, how in the WORLD is Kaine supposed to know other than being psychic? He really needs to be cut a break on this. Guilty or innocent, Terri is NOT what she seems to be, but yet SHE gets cut all the slack in the world, but Kaine is supposed to be perfect and psychic. That is COMPLETELY not fair.
I mean, come on, before this, he just thought she was a little depressed and maybe needed some counseling. That is a FAR CRY from thinking someone capable of hurting a child or another adult. I mean, everybody has issues these days. It doesn't mean that those issues have to snowball into killing or hurting another human being. Tons of people DEAL with their issues in a constructive manner without taking it as far as that. Terri apparently is not one of those people. Even if she is somehow innocent of what happened with Kyron, she wanted Kaine DEAD. That is NOT normal.
Like I said, if you haven't dealt with the kind of person that lies, deceives, and keeps a whole life away from you, you have no idea what people can do to deceive others and make them think that things are hunky dory when in fact, that is the farthest thing from the truth. I pray that if you haven't dealt with a person like this, that you never ever EVER do.
*And I mean "you" in general, not directed at one person.
All strongly IMO.
