Kerry's ex wife:

In her 1996 book, "Change of Heart," Thorne said that playing the role of wife to the rising political star had made her so depressed she wanted to kill herself.

Without ever mentioning Kerry by name, she complained: "Politics became my husband's life. During the years of our marriage, he was appointed and elected to several political offices. Eventually he was elected to the U.S. Senate."

Thorne said that it wasn't long before she felt neglected. "The day our first child was born, my husband started law school thirty-five miles away. Stuck studying in the library until the early morning hours, he often did not come home.

"I was alone and overwhelmed," she remembers, "abandoned with a new baby in a town that held political disdain for us. ... I tried to be happy for him, but after fourteen years as a political wife, I associated politics only with anger, fear and loneliness."
