He's going to carry on while she undergoes therepy alone? You and I BOTH know what that's like, she's not going to have her husband with her to help her through that, what about helping the kids get through it?
My friend's husband goes with her to all of her chemo treatments, some of them (like today's) are 7 hours long. He reads aloud to her or he rents movies and shows them to her on a portable DVD player.
She couldn't do this alone and he wouldn't let her do it alone. And they don't even have little kids to worry about.
This is pure selfishness on John's part.
It's shocking to me, politics or not.
