So devastated, in fact, that even years after her husband Gary walked out on her for another woman, Sherry Leskun was too transfixed by the injustice to tackle the job market: a British Columbia court ruled that she was “bitter to the point of obsession with his misconduct and in consequence has been unable to make a new life.” Reason enough to maintain support payments at a level set to compensate for her lack of earnings? The Supreme Court of Canada is expected to decide soon. (Bruce Cheadle, “Supreme Court set to rule on whether a cheating spouse is debilitating”, CP/Maclean’s, Jun. 20).

‘No fault divorce’ is an assault to the human mind. I am fully aware of a lady & her children who had to endure the embarrassment of viewing her ‘then- husband’ and the woman he was committing adultry with on a well known American TV show last year. Her neighbours taped the episode ‘just for her’incase she missed it. She was serioulsy traumatized emotionally.
This show also profiled the very happy business owner of the well known internet dating service for married persons wanting a relationship with someone other than their spouse. The ‘then – husband’ not only strutted his philosophy that he had now met his ‘soul mate’ this way (despite his marriage of 26 years), he hailed the agency as an avenue for all unhappy couples to explore.
When high powered leaders make rules that uphold the evil actions of transgressors like this one, I am afraid for the children of today.
Being left behind is painful enough. To have one’s life flaunted as a disposable event across a TV screen is downright wrong. To have this type of behaviour unrecognized in the courts, is unconscionable.
Is there no shame anymore? I hope that Janice Tibbets or someone from the Vancouver Sun can help me in my quest for justice.
So as long as she continues to present the public face of bitterness then the checks will continue to roll in. This lady cannot every get better as long as her support depends upon her remaining bitter.
