Yeah you are probably right, also she is very controlling and it must kill her that she no longer has control over his life - according to him he used to give her her own way all the time during their marriage to save arguments, guess its hard for her that its no longer the case. I agree with you that its the kids who suffer, we are adults and can look after ourselves but the kids rely on the adults to keep them safe, I think both physically and emotionally so its really sad that this is happening to them. I often wonder what goes on at home and if they are ok, I hope she doesnt give them a hard time or try to manipulate them - but we will never know!

LOL at the icon, it is cute - almost rude but still cute

I meant to say before for the daughter you wish for.
