If Hilaria really wants to understand what is going on with her husband and the father of her children, she would be wise to speak to her brothers in law and try to understand the family dynamic that molded Alec. Alec’s father was a mean alcoholic who treated his family and others in a brutal manner. Alec is not so subtly behaving like his father when dealing with most people. Hopefully he spares his kids and wife from the worst of it. Hilaria for the sake of herself, her husband and especially her children has to understand the demons that torment Alec are not external but within him.
First I’ve heard that his father was a mean alcoholic...and I don’t believe it....not one little bit.
