press attention I'd get for it." Throughout the interview, Betty described Daniel's second, younger wife in deprecating and sometimes obscene words. "My kids couldn't stand her," she said. "They were old enough to see the cars, the trips, the diamondswhile they had no sports, not a single birthday party in Daniel and Linda's house." At one point, Linda sent Betty a photograph of her and Daniel that had appeared in Dicta, the San Diego County Bar monthly magazine, Betty said. Attached to the photo, Betty said, was a note that said, "Eat your heart out, bitch!" On Wednesday, Laurel Summers, a close friend of Linda's, rebutted that claim. "I know that Betty's always said that Linda did that, but we know that Linda didn't do it," she said, adding that she once talked to Linda about the story.

"Betty Broderick has made up through the years a lot of stories, and she's made herself believe them. She silenced the only people who can tell her story." But most of Betty's rage remains focused on Daniel, who she says used his legal influence not evidenceto gain full custody of their children. "The burning of the clothes," she said, referring to an incident in which she piled Daniel's clothes in the backyard of their La Jolla home and set them on fire. "That was in 1983 or 1984 during the marriage, when I literally ate shit while he flaunted Linda in front of me. He had been seeing her since 1983!" Turning the page of her carefully penciled notes, she went on.

"The ski incident," she said, recalling when Daniel and Linda took the four children to Vail, Colo. "It was Christmas, 1985, the first Christmas after the separation. Dan literally kidnaped the kids, taking them to a two-bedroom ski condo with the bimbo." Soon, Betty said, she received a "huge" floral arrangement with a card in Daniel's handwriting. "It said, 'I know you're not feeling well, but the children and I are thinking of Betty recalled. "Not feeling well? Of course I wasn't feeling well." She added: "He knew how to kill me through the kids." "The car incident," she continued, consulting her notes to describe when she drove her Chevrolet Suburban into the front of Daniel and Linda's new Hillcrest home in 1986.

"That was when he sold my home right out from under me. I'm sorry I didn't do it better if I'd known how much Continued from A34 If anyone had an obsession with the divorce, it was Dan," Betty said. If Daniel had settled the divorce to her liking, she said, "I would have been fine. I would have had my house, my kids. I would have still worn a size 61 used to be skinny, you know.

"I could have done my superior dance," she said, turning sideways and angling her arms in an Egyptian silhouette. "But he wouldn't settle this case," she said as she shuffled several yellow legal pages of handwritten notes her response to a recent Times article that described her behavior toward her ex-husband as "emotional harangues" and "outbursts." "My 'emotional outbursts' were only a response to Dan's calculating, hateful way of dealing with our divorce," she said. "He was hammering into me and everyone else that I was crazy. "I try always to tell the truth," she added. "I was the right person.

I was right! How could things go so wrong?" During much of the interview, Betty read from her notes in order to correct what she said were subtle but important errors in press accounts of her story. Incidents previously described by friends came to life as Betty retold them. may company SUITS III! ffl COMPLIMENTARY GIFT BOXES AND SHOPPING BAGS TBIOl GBOIT THE STOIE MPS EMS Mffll MING Mil Oscar do la Renta Evan Picone Nino Cerruf i Jones New York John Alexander Haggar i vp ran SAVE 120 DESIGNER WOOL SUITS Orig.
