Tricia is portraying herself as the consummate victim.  Why in the world would she choose to do that?  Of course we'll never know what really happened, but that's not what's important. What's important is to read between the lines.  There is a there is a huge lesson here for women. Never leave yourself that vulnerable and unprotected.

It's the responsibility of every woman to be in charge of her own financial future.  When you hand over that responsibility to a man, you also hand over your power. 

So, take the time and the effort to learn everything you need to know about protecting yourself from the curve balls life throws at us. Have your own personal bank account, find the right financial advisor - be prepared and be smart.
