Elin Nordegren finally breaks silence
In an exclusive interview with the People’s magazine, Elin Nordegren publically spoke for the first time about the scandal that shattered her marriage. Elin claimed that she was “blindsided”.
“I’ve been through h**l,” said Elin, describing her emotions after she found out about her husband’s infidelity. She said that is the only thing she has to say about the nine month ordeal that began last November after Tiger’s car crash outside her Florida home.
“I have someone down in front of my house and they hit a pole,” said Tiger Woods to 911 after he hit the car against the tree at his home.
For the first time, Elin discusses about what happened or didn’t happen before Tiger crashed the family escalade. “There was never any violence inside or outside our home, the speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous,” said Elin.
After she heard the voice calls, Elin saw the women that Tiger had allegedly cheated with. The images were flashed on various tabloid covers as she was in absolute shock and disbelief. “I felt stupid as more things revealed, how could I have not known anything,” she said.
Elin further expressed her feelings regarding the incident that shook her life and pointed out Tigers handlers. She said, “I felt betrayed by many people around me. Initially, I thought we had a chance and we tried really hard, but without trust and love it couldn’t work”.
She explained her first few months to be “brutal” as she stopped watching TV and would not go around the town too much. However, a few jokes about her that were made on popular American shows Saturday Night Live and South Park made her laugh. Elin says the thing that helped her through her emotional breakdown was her kids.
“Mommy where is your boo-boo” asked three-year old Sam, “Mommy’s boo-boo is in her heart right now, but it will be better,” replied Elin. Sam responded saying “can Sam kiss it and make it better? Or maybe popcorn will”.
Elin Nordegren says she will share custody of her children with Wood’s and is looking forwards to a productive parental relationship. People’s magazine asked her if she will be able to forgive Tiger in the near future. She responded by saying, “I am going to be completely honest and tell you that I am working on it, and I know I will get there eventually”.
Nordegren did not disclose how much amount did she settle for in the divorce but did say, "Money can't buy happiness or put my family back together."
