The Wealthy Aren’t Even Protected from Domestic Abuse
In fact, they’re more vulnerable, not in the way you might imagine.
A couple of days ago, I was reading my newsfeed about a wealthy celebrity couple who are in the midst of a divorce, with four children.
The wife initiated the divorce, although, the estranged husband refuses to acknowledge the petition.
The wife has “moved-on,” and is dating a high-profile comedian, while her ex has been publicly voicing blatant, sometimes embarrassing rants to woo her back.
I can’t help but to continue to notice this spectacle, which continues to play out for the world to see.
The ex-wife has decided to go on “group dates” with her new beau, for the “benefit” of her ex-spouse; to keep him “from being hurt and devastated.”
REALLY?
Does the wife really care about his feelings? If so, why? Is she second-guessing her divorce petition?
Or, does she feel trapped and afraid that her ex will have another psychotic break (which would be a repeat of multiple psychotic episodes he has demonstrated in the past), if she totally breaks ties with him?
Could her ex-spouse could be a walking time-bomb, with the potential to go berserk on his ex-wife, her new beau, her family, anyone associated with her, and/or even the kids?!
If she’s fearful of totally cutting-off her ex, in fear of him ‘going-off,’ he has her mentally trapped, which could be a form of domestic abuse, and mental manipulation.
It’s a very dangerous position for the ex-spouses, and everyone associated with them to endure.
What makes the situation worse, just this morning, a news source reported that the ex-husband purchased a home directly across the street from the marital home, he once shared with his ex-wife and kids, which she won in the divorce settlement.
It now seems to be a weird, creepy, stalking situation.
Being wealthy, with access to anything and everything, with the all of the wealth and resources, access to money, fame, infamy, celebrity exposure, paparazzi, and contacts, the ex-wife may be trapped.
There’s nowhere in this world that she can run to and feel safe from her estranged husband, even if she tried.
This is where fame and fortune can work against those who possess both. Even if she traveled the world to the ends of the earth, her billionaire ex has the means to stalk her — and perhaps find her.
This is a case where money and fame can’t buy peace, protection, safety, or peace-of-mind, to allow the ex-wife to escape into the sunset to be left alone and forgotten. She’s more vulnerable because of it.
What are your thoughts?
