John Edwards Moves Ex-Lover, Child Closer To Home
Cancer-stricken Elizabeth is furious over spending her final days with "the other woman."
John Edwards is moving the mother of his love-child into his upscale, waterfront North Carolina neighborhood and will help raise their baby, says the National Enquirer in yet another exclusive report on the disgraced former Presidential candidate. Although lacking proof, sources close to other-woman Rielle Hunter say they believe Edwards is paying for her move.
Insiders close to the other camp corroborate that John is definitely behind Rielle's move: "There's absolutely no way that he didn't approve or arrange her moving closer to him—it's all part of his new plan to do the right thing," they say.
Although in the past he has vigorously denied his involvement in the procreation of 18-month-old Frances, and even going as far as paying off former colleague Andrew Young to claim parentage in his place, he has now apparently "embraced fatherhood and wants to be intimately involved in the life of daughter."John Edwards Sex Tape.

Elizabeth, meanwhile, is less than pleased at the arrangement, to put it mildly.
She's always figured the child may be John's, but the positive DNA result really floored her. And as if that wasn't bad enough, John told Elizabeth he needed to be in his daughter's life—and that Rielle was moving to North Carolina. He told Elizabeth he was tired of all the lies, and that's why he was ready to publicly admit Frances is his baby. That's when Elizabeth exploded! In a fit of rage, she grabbed a suitcase and started packing her things ... [The National Enquirer]
Despite reports of martial discord from the tabloids, Elizabeth is still keeping on a happy face, saying on a Wednesday night appearance on Larry King Live that "things are going fine" with John.
My expectation is that, at some point, something happens. And I hope for the sake of this child that it happens, you know, in a quiet way. We're getting the children ready for a new school year, she said. Everything seems to be going pretty smoothly at my house. [US Magazine]
Discussion
There is not a word to discribe John Edwards other than phony. I suppose there should be no surprise in this really. It is heart wrenching for me when I think of the position that Elisabeth Edwards is in. She is terminally ill not knowing how much time she has left on this earth with the children she has, minus the child she lost, and yet this is thrown in the mix. I admire her courage and her clearly misguided attempts to put up with a husband whom has betrayed everyone around him. A word to the wise Ms. Hunter if he will do it with you, he will do it to you.
Unfortunately, once you get your mistress pregnant, it's pretty much impossible to do the right thing. If you shoulder your responsibility for the kid, you hurt the woman you loved first and the kids you already have.
I think it would be better if Edwards stuck to giving Hunter money to raise the kid on her own. Anything else is too cruel to his family.
The best solution - if you have to cheat, get fixed or use a condom. It's the only way a guy can be sure he won't make a baby.
