MOO of course, but I can attest from all the waaaaaaaaay back, long ago, even at the very beginning that we have addressed Michelle, her strong personality, and that many of us, tho did not know her personally, but were of the opinion that Shelly was no shrinking violet.. I think it's likely what drew Dale to her in strong attraction, yet at that same time tho extremely attracted and even turned on by a woman who stood up to him, didn't cower to him immediately, and was feisty and gave him hell right back.. But at that same time tho strongly attracted and intrigued by her strong, vivacious nature.. It too served as a major bone of contention in that IMO he was not used to someone standing up strongly to him and IMO while exciting, it was also once incensing that he couldn't "break her" into being submissive..*
IMO Michelle was so very many things but I believe she was deeply passionate and passionate in everything g she did!! Michelle is so much like me in many ways(from personality to interests to occupation)especially me a decade ago in a relationship where he and I brought the worst out in each other, yes, even physically.. I think she did fight back, she did engage him physically.. Again this doesn't make Michelle bad, IMO its just that she had self worth, and a strong personality that didn't take it lying down when treated like chit, disrespected, cheated on, etc..
And again I believe while this on one hand made Michelle extremely attractive to Dale, all the more a challenge, on the other hand his controlling and abusive needs to at the end of the day be in total control over "his woman" and IMO he could never succeed in breaking Michelle down .. IMO this enraged him, especially after they were over and she was happily moving on.. Dales ego and abusive need for control couldn't move on and let it go, let her go, never having broken her down to submitting.. He had to have control over her and at any cost I believe he felt the need to prove so to himself and to Michelle..
So, our discussions of the strong woman that Michelle was, that didn't take his bs lying down like a doormat to be walked over, but rather gave him hell right back at him, this topic is not new, taboo, or freshly uncovered.. I don't see it as a negative, as a bad trait, that somehow is seen or twisted into a negative light on her.. Michelle IMO believed strongly in who and what she was, she didn't cower to Dale and while I believe that there very likely were times when they both were physical and confrontational it never in any way whatsoever condones Dale's abusing her, nor that he was within his right to do so.. He wasn't.. Michelle was being the strong woman that she'd always been and Dale was determined to break down that strong woman at any cost.. That's not Michelle's problem, issue, or fault.. That completely lies squarely on Dale Jr alone..
IMO its Dale's inadequacy he felt as a "man" that could not allow *a strong woman to coexist.. And to be the mother to his only children.. IMO that for Dale was just not an option.. Jmo, tho..
I think as far as the *almost were gonna arrest* Michelle "reports" go that there is no one blasting, nor being rude to anyone about them.. It's being asked to back up these statements.. This is no opinion based information, but rather documented proof that according to TOS has to be provided to back up the claims.. I believe that's the only issue and it was asked that it be provided.. That's only fair that to make accusations, especially accusations that are of a criminal nature(which these definitely are.. DV,cyberstalking,etc) it's just plain and simple the accusations must have evidence to back them up, or they don't belong.. IMO that's not being nasty, not even bashing the post, it's not being rude its just following TOS which keeps this site with fact backed truth, and not embellished opinion or rumor..
