This is why I think the family should ask for that right now and end this. | Apparently she only saved those bad texts, emails and phone conversations among the tens of thousands of times they must have communicated digitally and by phone or face-to-face. Why were there no good ones of Travis played, where he was telling her how special and wonderful she was? To cherry pick only the worst and play only those isn't that indicative of their true relationship; or, once she was free from him and living far away, why then would she move close to him when he clearly didn't want her there or drive all those miles that one last time?
Truly abused women, once free and with no children crying for "Daddy", with ways and means to support themselves apart from the man, don't tend to keep returning to him. Sure there were some abusive words but that's all we heard - what if all the rest of their communications were Travis building up, expressing love and supporting Jodi Arias? I don't know how anyone can say Travis abused her if she willingly and against his will kept throwing herself at him if she didn't enjoy and find titillation in that type of interplay. I think she likely encouraged it. She could have told him she got a dirty little thrill being treated like that. Otherwise, she would have hung up on and blocked his calls, texts and emails and never seen him again. |
