<p>I may have this wrong but I don’t think Elizabeth knew at that point that John was the father?</p>
<p>Whether she knew that John was the father, it appears that she knew about John’s roving eye well before. If she did not know, it’s because she chose not to know. None of the principals in this affair (pun intended) comes off very well.</p>
<p>I only wish Elizabeth Edwards could find peace. I understand the reason for the lawsuit, but I would hope that she would use her resources and spend the rest of her life pursuing things that will bring her joy. I would be pouring my energies into my kids hoping I could touch them with my virtues, my beliefs, my values, in whatever time I had before the relentless enemy of cancer returned. Maybe I am a fool, but I would do everything to surround myself with beauty and love and insulate myself from painful memories. </p>
<p>Y’know, Elizabeth might not be perfect, but no one should have to suffer the loss of a child, terminal cancer, and a public betrayal by a cheating spouse.</p>

<p>There is a big difference between being an advocate for the poor, and being a gigantic phony. I think most people, eventually anyway, can see the difference. Some of us are better than others at spotting it early.</p>
<p>workinprogress-- that was exactly what I was thinking.</p>
<p>I don’t really know how sick she is, at this point, or how long she has to live. But, man, I wouldn’t want to spend my time on this stuff, personally, if I were her. Of course, who can even know what you might “need” to do under those circumstances, I suppose.</p>
<p>I really don’t have any negative things to say about her. I mean, I’m sure this has nothing to do with the life she originally set out to have when she first married this guy.</p>
