What would you suggest as the proper steps. Considering leaving him had to deal with the fact that he had severe abandonment issues, and the wife believed he had committed a murder at being abandoned. Since he was not beating her or their children, and fearing he would kill her and children if she left, suggest other options please.
See comment #41 for further details on true story. I agree that there needs to be differentiation in what constitutes what re legal situation.
She needs to see a lawyer who deals with family law. The lawyer needs to put her in touch with counseling and law enforcement people who understand and have experience with this kind of situation. If there is a reasonable suspicion to believe that this guy has indeed committed murder over a threatened abandonment in the past, then neither this woman nor her children are safe however safe she may feel she is. A person who has committed a past homicide is nobody to be trifled with.
No doubt the rape question was: “How many times did you engage in sex?”
