A realtive of mine was a young woman when she was married to a much older policeman.

She described her married life as "one long surveillance with me as the subject."

I'll point out that while she may or may not have decided to leave him to be with another man, it is unlikely that she would have left without the children - especially children that age.

I agree, if she was complaining to friends about his controlling nature and things like that, she would have never left her children behind.
