"Mary Richardson Kennedy tragically and selfishly committed suicide by hanging herself in the barn of the Kennedy’s Westchester, New York home in May 2012. She killed herself during the midst of a 5-year acrimonious, high-conflict divorce from Robert Kennedy, Jr., after threatening to commit suicide multiple times throughout their tumultuous and abusive marriage.
The Richardson family has gone to great lengths to portray Mary as a long suffering victim of Bobby, Jr. and his multiple infidelities during their marriage. Of course, the Richardsons conveniently forget that the Kennedy’s relationship began as an extramarital affair while Bobby was still married to his first wife, Emily Black Kennedy.
So who is the villain and who is the victim in this sordid mess?
Was Bobby Kennedy, Jr. the abusive, philandering husband who drove Mary Richardson Kennedy to drink and suicide?
Or was Mary a highly destructive, emotionally and physically abusive, yet publicly high functioning and charming woman who kept Bobby trapped in a violent relationship by employing FOG (fear, obligation, guilt) and drove him to seek comfort outside of their relationship? ..."
The New Face of Borderline Personality Disorder: Mary Richardson Kennedy Abused Her Husband and Children and Committed Suicide as a Final Act of Revenge for Perceived Abandonment
Yes. This is a pitiable situation. Having read your comment and link, it's clear this relationship was more complex, "toxic," and troubling than it appeared. (Hard to believe the interpretation from a site called "shrink4men" is particularly neutral in its analysis, though.) It's important to recognize that the wife is not automatically the aggrieved party however.
That all said, Bobby Jr's inability to successfully negotiate the end of this relationship and repeatedly fall prey to his wife's manipulation (if that's truly what happened) speaks negatively about his ability to handle political conflict as an elected official.
BPD is "street angel, home devil" stuff. They monster the partners behind closed doors. If his wife had that condition RFK Jr's lucky to have survived in one piece. I agree the site doesn't appear neutral.
