Iqaluit woman was going to leave husband, take kids, before killings: sister
Vivian Sula Enuaraq's family says the Iqaluit woman had finally had enough.
The 29-year-old had thought about leaving her husband several times during their troubled 15-year relationship, her sister Jolene Arreak recalled from Ottawa.
She had few friends in the northern community, however, and couldn't afford airfare out. So each time she decided to stay in the marriage for the sake of the couple's two young daughters, Arreak said.
But the last time Arreak talked with her sister on the phone Sunday, Enuaraq confided that she was preparing in the coming days to pack her bags and take the children to a women's shelter in a nearby village.
"She was ready to leave him for good," said Arreak.
Three days later, Arreak learned they were all dead.

This breaks my heart; along with the AG report on how native Canadians are living. Why oh why these so many decades later they haven't gotten it right? There is simply no excuse anymore. I am so hurt and disgusted by this. HerStory is remarkably like most women's across the country, when they finally have the nerve to leave for their children. Our children.
