From what I read, he told the judge in his latest DUI that he was broke. He was the one who was remarried. She had just become engaged and since there was no male in her apartment when he shot her and took the kids, doesn't look like another guy was living with his kids.

The media is doing a good job of raking her over the coals (she entered a drug treatment program) but not such a good job of dissecting him. She did have a long standing steady job.

He was in a psychiatric program in Doylestown, taking meds, claimed PTSD, spent 2.5 months deployed (claimed asthma to get sent home), had 3 DUI's over 10 years, one friend said he liked "being" a marine more than he liked "working" as a marine. But did the guy just hatch somewhere? Nothing about even where he is from, where he went to school, etc. Does he have family? He had no job that was mentioned.

He took his new wife to the children's activities when their mother was there. She would have more motive to shoot him, given your explanation.

I’m not even talking about this particular case; in general, these situations are extremely depressing.

It is no accident that so many young men couldn’t be bothered with marriage/families anymore.
