seems like a reasonable analysis.
I can imagine Dr Jill being put forth for the political story but behind the scenes a cold fish to the children without a mother.
This dynamic probably created a lot of bitterness...especially when Dr Jill gets all the accolades
On the plus side..she is the one that has to live and take care of demented Joe....and that burden takes a toll
dr jill is a climber
the children would not be a top priority
