The wife was the epitome of an enabler. She needs help. The Hawaii vacation was insane
The mothers behavior has been just unfathomable during all this.
He was a giant child himself!!
Makes zero sense that he was able to be at home and be responsible for turning himself in
If I had a wife who was a doctor, I'd be the best stay at home dad on Earth.
The wife and mother, a physician, tolerated his bs way beyond comprehension. Why is she not charged with failure to protect the children? Why is she still working as an MD?
The wife seemed more perturbed that their "perfect" family image was ruined.
We want to start the grieving process, in Hawaii!
Is anyone really that surprised at the allegations in this lawsuit? I'm not! That woman needs to be held accountable.
