the wife of this man, and the mother of his children, i was disturbed that i had been married to Donald for 6 years and i had no idea that he was capable of doing this kind of stuff. my children are too young to understand what is going on just yet, but one day they will. he wasnt just affecting his parents, but his children as well, they will grow up with out their father by their side. after all the things that he has put my family through.... ill be happy to see him put in prison for a long time, maybe this time he wont get away with it.
