Mary got a restraining order against Jim in 1993, when she was 18. Of course, she likely had help from the WTA/other resources, but she stood up to him. I also understand that they have mended some fences since that time.

You never heard Mary crying to the press "oh, my story is so difficult. It's the worse ever". That's my big problem with Jelena's latest interview. Everyone's got issues, Missin'. It's how you respond to the hand life has dealt you.

Someone like Jelena, who had the financial resources, and the right people available to overcome what was clearly a traumatic and harsh childhood, should, at 26 years old, be talking about how she moved beyond her demons and doesn't carry around the luggage of her past, rather than focusing on how bad she had it.

I cannot judge Jelena more harshly based on what others, like Pierce, were able to do. It helps to have loved ones on your side. Money and the WTA are a poor substitute for family. Pierce had her Mom and her brother. I'm not sure what Jelena had. I've never heard word one about her Mom.
