Why did Elizabeth Edwards write about her husband's affair and why is John Edwards going around with her to publicize it?
In her book 'Resilience' Elizabeth Edwards writes about more than her husband's affair. It is actually only a small portion of the book. The book is mainly an autobiography of her life, her cancer and the death of her son.It would have been more shocking if she had left her husband's affair out of it; the affair was part of her life.
As for why her husband is going around publicizing it with her, I don't know. It may seem strange given the fact that he had an affair, but he obviously supports her.As for the publicity, it really is the prurient minds of the media that seem to always ask questions about the affair above anything else when interviewing her. I have included a link below with a review about the book from the LA Times.
S political life is OVER. What else can he do at this point but support his wife and her endeavors? As for her motivation for writing about the affair, it very well may have been a coping mechanization.It's always good to talk about or even write about your feelings(Diaries would be a good example.
). It also could be to needle her husband just a little. They may still love each other but there is nothing wrong with dragging him through the mud just a little so he knows how she probably felt.
Good Luck!
Elizabeth Edwards was so devastated upon learning her husband was having an affair that her reaction was physical. Edwards, who is battling terminal breast cancer, will release her unflinching memoir, Resilience, on May 12. In an advance copy obtained by the New York Daily News, she reveals that she learned of the affair just a few days after Edwards started his 2008 Presidential run.
Although she publicly stood by him, she privately wanted him to drop out of the race. "He should not have run," she now says. Edwards blasts Rielle Hunter, the woman with whom Edwards had the affair.
The Edwards campaign hired Hunter to produce short films on his candidacy, paying her a total of $114,000. John Edwards doesn't escape his wife's anger. She says that he originally lied to her when he confessed that he had strayed, saying it only happened once.
He "left most of the truth out," Edwards writes. A year later, he publicly acknowledged the affair. But Elizabeth Edwards is working on forgiving her husband, she writes.
"I lie in bed, circles under my eyes, my sparse hair sticking in too many directions, and he looks at me as if I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Should she forgive him?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
