I'd like to correct SwitcherX
Petra was never married. She had been engaged to be married in the 2000 time frame (or thereabouts). She learned how huge a mistake it was to be engaged to that specific person that she had been to.
The information on him being an oppressive person, and cashing her checks for himself (without her knowledge), the lawsuit which he brought against her and which he lost (and cost her a goodly amount in defending herself), and all the rest is fairly "on the money."
He had bought her an engagement ring, and soon after declared bankruptcy (so he wouldn't have to make the payments). She no longer has the ring. If memory serves, she had made comments in the past on her website discussion group that she doesn't remember what happened to it. (And she really isn't bothered in not recalling.)
The whole episode really tattooed her emotionally, and she did lose weight at the time, etc.
She may be in a much better place, now. But these things take a while in the healing process.
