If this does in fact turn out to be accurate and she went so many years before starting a new family, then IMO this convict saw a woman who has a low self-esteem, someone he could control, someone who may have just wanted rebuild the family she lost. Her children at least grew into adults, one of his was sent to ICU by him. She was separated from her children wether by choice or external factors. He was sent to prison by his own actions. He violated his parole/probation by having a HAND GUN. Not because he took the kids across the state to give his family a meaningful vacation. This dude an immature, selfish person. IMHO
