CHAPEL HILL, N.C., July 1 (UPI) -- Elizabeth Edwards, promoting the paperback release of her book, "Resilience," said leaving her husband, former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., is "terrifying."
"I'd been trying to reinvent the role of wife for the last two years, trying to find a place where I could be happy and still be John's wife despite his infidelity. Each day it seemed another piece of my history chipped away. ... There was no peace. And at the very end of 2009, I finally gave up trying," Edwards, who turns 61 Saturday, told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today."
