Not yet however I have read Dead Ends,Leathal Intent, and own 1992,2002 interviews,and A&E Bio. I watched Monster and wanted to know who the real
Aileen Wuornos was. What I have found breaks my heart and has made me take
a very hard look at my self. What is right and wrong . She had no money
so she died. What she did was wrong however in her case so was death row.
I know that anyone that takes the time to look into her life will only regret
not knowing of her and having the chance to show a little suport.
Anyway good luck - This is one story that may change you forever. -

I read the book "Monster My True Story" it pretty much covers the same things as Lethal Intent, however it is much easier to follow. I didnt really feel that the book told Lee's actual thoughts and feelings though. I believe that some of the writings in the book could have been Lees own tho111cughts, but I felt the author added a lot of his opinions. That is just my take on it. It is worth reading if you are not familiar with Lee's life story. I believe Lethal Intent covered more of Lee's childhood though. The fact is that neither the documentaries nor the books can fully explain what went so wrong in Lee's life. Everything is probably just bits and pieces of a twisted puzzle. I dont think anyone could ever fully understand what went so wrong. Except the person who lived nightmareLee. But being as mentally ill as she was maybe she didnt even realize how horrible her life had turned out. Its just a scary thought to think that mentally ill people are being executed in this day and age. When we as Americans claim to be so advanced and so knowledgeable. Meanwhile our government is throwing away people like yesterdays trash. I only hope Lee found peace now that she is gone.

Stop defending a callous, cold blooded murderer. She didnt deserve to die? And I suppose her victims did? Lots of people have abusive, sad lives but they dont become serial killers.

I'm not defending her actions! I don't think anyone deserves to be killed, whether it's done by a person or by the state. And yes, most abused children don't become bad but some do, the wounds never heal and some people cannot deal with it. Again, I'm not defending her actions in anyway, that doesn't mean I'm not interested in why she did the things she did. I think we should care about these things, cause these murders could have been prevented if there were some responsible adults present in her childhood.

I would like to say that I saw the movie Monster and I became very interested in learning more. As I read through a lot of the news articles I began to realize a lot of things. My heart does go out to her for yes in many ways she was a victim not only of circumstance but of life. No, I am not excusing her or the atctions that she had taken. For I do believe that if you take a life in anything other then self defence, a life or death situation that it is a crime not only by law buy by moral as well. The reason that I am writing this post is because I can relate a lot to what she went though. I myself went through some of the things that she went through. Not to that degree but as I read the pages of the articles and the pages of the book I felt as if in some way she was telling part of my life story. I too lived the life of prostitution and was alone and had the feeling that there was no love in my life. Desperate to be loved I did things and let things happen to me that now that I am older I realise were not love or even affection. I too was placed in a few horrible circumstances where Yes, I was raped and beaten by johns. When you are young and you have grown up in a way that mental and physical torture are all that you know you just accept things that most people won't. I would be lying if I said that I had not felt the way that she did w5b4hen the rape that changed her happened. I have felt that way. Felt like lashing out and just getting even not only with the one that did the things that were done but against all that commit those crimes. It took laying in a hospital bed almost dying for me to realise that there is hope that you can make a change. That yes you might be the victim of your circumstances but there is always hope for change. There is always hope to break the cycle. Her story as I had thought it would be was very hard for me to read and see. Yet it is one that will stick with me for a very long time. As a reminder of what could have so easily been myself so long ago had I let emotion,fear, and frustration take hold of me. I just thank God that I was given the wake up call to turn my life around and make a positive out of a negative. I was given the opportunity to take a life of prostition and turn it around. People who have never lived that life and had that life all that they ever know can not imagine what is like. How people judge you and preceve you. How it is easier to lay down to make a dollar then to punch a time clock to get the dollar. I only wish that someone had been able to open a door for her. Then things might have been different. She might have had an opportunity to make a change. May God Have Mercy On Her Lost Soul

I related in ways that most people may not, so I totally understand what you're saying. Unfortunately people who have NOT been there tend to be the ones making these important decisions, and I think this is totally wrong and unfair. And, yes, when you're in "the life" you are judged and seen as less than and your seen as having no character or worth. I appreciate you coming out like that, I have unloaded my truth on this site about other ways I have related to movies, for instance, "A Beautiful Mind" is one example. Interestingly, no one responded. People sometimes cannot handle someone being brutually honest. I'm glad you had that "moment of clarity" and got out. Living that life can swallow you whole and some people never get out. Aileen was one of them. But as I said in my other post, why isn't anyone addressing the fact that the men were there in the first place??? They are not innocent as far as I'm concerned. They were partaking in someone else's demise. I'm not saying they deserved to die because they were someone's john, but everyone skirts around this issue.
