Elizabeth Edwards adds to 'Resilience'
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Elizabeth Edwards says that it wasn't easy to leave her husband in the wake of the two-time presidential contender's infidelity, writing in a new chapter to her memoir.
Edwards says in the updated version of her book "Resilience" released Tuesday that she spent two years trying to "reinvent" her role as a wife so that they could stay together despite the affair. But she said the "tender thread" holding the family together unraveled at the very end of 2009 -- three years after former Sen. John Christian louboutin shoes Edwards first told his wife in private that he'd had a one- night stand with a videographer. "One day, I did not want to try anymore," she said.
The couple has since separated, after he acknowledged fathering a child with mistress Rielle Hunter. Elizabeth Edwards is battling cancer and said she hopes to live eight more years -- long enough to see her two younger children graduate from high school.
