Hello, Hoosiermama! Haven’t spoke with you in a while.
I really do not have any insider details about Marianne or her mental problems. But they were married for 18 years so it isn’t exactly as though he cut and run after a few months.
People married to people with “mental problems” often stay in the marriage hoping that something they do can somehow cure the person. First thing a family member said when he saw her on TV, was she has an “substance abuse” problem. He’s helped many get help. Think he could be right. Have not heard what the daughter have had to say, have you?
