To put it mildly, we were amazed by her. Where was her anger? The need to blame? How did she manage to keep finding empathy for Luke’s father? After much discussion we decided that Rosie had used her profile and hard work in the domestic violence area to work through her grief and to come to terms with the loss of Luke. Strong, brave and determined, she was not going to have Luke’s death be for nothing.
Rosie’s story brought domestic violence, (and it’s partner, mental health) into our living rooms and our lives. Reading her own words about her struggles with what to do about Greg, her son’s father, is both heartbreaking and frustrating. To say she should have just left him is to simplify a very complex and multifaceted situation, and no one who has not been confronted with these issues can confidently say what is the right thing.
Topics such as these arouse strong emotions and we all felt them during this discussion. In the end we believe that women such as Rosie do not need to be judge, they need support and access to correct information and legal assistance. Her strength in working towards this goal is inspiring and is deserves to be praised. Somehow, certain members of the public and media have decided Rosie is being celebrated for losing her only child . This is where media coverage can distort and alter perception, and we must never let this happen again! (re: Lindy Chamberlain)
