Not after the one man she had ever been in love with treated her the way he did. There is still so much of it that she doesn’t understand, and never will understand, about the switch that flicked off within Pete for him to begin abusing her. She knows, on the surface, that it wasn’t her fault. She knows this, and yet deep inside, she still feels like she brought it on somehow. Which makes me sad, because she absolutely did not “ask for it” and it certainly is NOT her fault. It also makes me sad because she deserves to know what’s it’s like to be showered with love. She deserves to believe that she can feel that way again versus feeling and accepting that it isn’t possible.

That, piled on top of the immense guilt she feels after killing him…it’s a lot psychologically. Even though it was accidental and self defense. Even when she is convinced that she had no other choice – it was him, or her. Her final words in the series were: I killed a man that I used to love. I need to get right with myself, and I need to do that on my own. Sadie’s going to always be working on getting right with herself.

I hope that someday, she’s able to.
