And I don't know what was about over me. I have no idea.

But I grabbed it and I grabbed the ammo and

it didn't see me. His back was turned to me.

And I

put the ammo in the gun.

And I didn't know.

I just thought how easy it would be is to point it at the back of the head.

Welcome back to other people's lives. I'm Joe Sanagado.

I'm Greg Dybeck. For anyone out there that would like to be a guest on our show, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Our email is opalpodcastatgmail.com.

Today we are speaking with a woman who sent an email with the subject line,

I tried to kill my ex-husband. She wrote in the email,

it's difficult to explain the 14 years it took for me to get to the desperate point of pulling a gun on him.

And we're going to be speaking with her, just about her relationship.

And I think just really diving into what could ultimately drive someone to the point of feeling they need to take a life to save their own.

So we're going to hear her story.

And as always, we've got the guests on the line. And thank you so much for being on today.

Thank you. Thank you for your time and the opportunity too.

No, of course. So can you talk to us about this relationship, I guess, before we get into everything else?

You said 14 years. That's a long time. So who was this person?

I guess how did this relationship ultimately start?

And where was the turning point where it became, as you wrote in the email, horribly abusive?
