if that's true,
my humble retraction is offered in this instance.

I have certainly seen men abused by women emotionally and financially but not here. Dr. Chris had a long and successful vet practice; she wouldnt have been after his money, that would never have been the issue (if anything perhaps the factor went the other way) she would have had plenty of her own. Wouldnt be keeping him from the daughter, if that was the case, unless there was some deeply compelling reason. No, she is a wonderful woman and well loved by her patients and friends. This is tragic, beyond comprehension.
