    I saw an interview with her when the book came out
    First of all, they actually had six children. One of them died in infancy.

    She readily admitted that no matter how bad things otherwise were, they always had incredibly spectacular sex. This can at least partially explain why she stayed - not blaming her, of course.

    The oldest children, BTW, wanted nothing to do with him but the younger ones did see him, something she encouraged. Keep in mind that this was over 20 years ago; I have no idea what may have happened in the meantime.

    Have either of them remarried? I couldn't imagine anyone wanting him, but you never know.
