Hello everyone,
I am Wendy’s son… she was an incredible person, a true light in the world. Although no calls had been made for domestic disputes at this address, I had called the police once before on wade for hitting me in the face at a prior residence. I was 15 years old when her life was cut short. A few weeks before this tragedy my mom had told me in privacy that she was worried for her safety. She felt trapped. As wade knew everything about her quaint Henderson life. There was nowhere she could’ve gone to escape his reach. She expressed to me that she knew I would be okay if she was gone. At the time I didn’t quite realize she was foreshadowing the possibility of her own death. That conversation has haunted me throughout the years of grief. Sometimes I think if I were there that night the outcome would’ve been different, but I very well could’ve lost my life. In a way I think she knew what was going to happen and made sure it happened while I was safe at my dad’s.
I feel so bad for wades daughter having to find them there. Nobody should have to find their parent dead like that.
if you made it this far thanks for reading, I just wanted to leave a little bit more information about my mom (Wendy) here. My mom was a strong woman. It is extremely hard to escape these domestic abuse situations. The Warning signs were all there and I know she knew it. I believe The events of this tragedy and others like it can feel like an inescapable fate.
look out for anyone you my know in a situation like this. You just may be able to save a life.
I love you mom
Thank you for sharing this. Your love for your mom is so clear, and your strength in telling her story is deeply moving. I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. Wendy sounds like an incredible person, and it’s heartbreaking that she felt so trapped. Your message is a powerful reminder of how serious and hidden domestic abuse can be.
Thinking of you, and sending love and strength.
