and if it's damaging to the children, which infidelity and drug and alcohol abuse are, to either kick the offending parent out or leave with the kids to protect them.If one parent is fucking up, it is the job of the other to step up. If EITHER of them had, what happened wouldn't have happened. They're both fuckups, they're both criminally culpable, neither is innocent. They both failed the most basic and fundamental duty of a human being, which is to take care of people they brought into the world who depended on them.
i didn't follow this closely or hardly at all until it blew up, so whenever i saw nick and how clearly strung out and wasted he was, i always naively assumed that his wife and children had left, because what mother subjects her children to that?
the kind of mother who participates in it, turns out. bleak.
