   Tiger  Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren has spoken out about their failed
   marriage in an interview with [1]People magazine, saying she has "been
   through hell."
   In  excerpts  from  a  cover  article  to  be  published  Friday,  the
   30-year-old  Nordegren  told the magazine she felt "absolute shock and
   disbelief"  when she learned about her husband's multiple extramarital
   affairs.
   Contents  of  the interview, which took 19 hours over four days, comes
   just  two  days  after Nordegren's divorce from Woods was finalized on
   Monday.   She  said  she felt stupid as more details came out, asking
   herself, "How could I not have known anything?"
   Nordegren  went  on  to  say  that  the word "betrayal' was not strong
   enough  to  describe what she felt, and that the stress of the scandal
   caused  her  to have insomnia, lose weight, and even start to lose her
   hair before the divorce was finalized.
   She  added  that  she  had loved Tiger and that they had "so much fun"
   together.   She also labeled reports that she hit her ex-husband with
   a golf club, "truly ridiculous."
   Woods  married  Nordegren  in  October 2004 in Barbados and the couple
   have   a   three-year-old  daughter,  Sam,  and  a  19-month-old  son,
   Charlie.   Details of their divorce settlement were not released, but
   they will share the parenting of the children.
