5. We don't actually disagree

Bad situation in general and being old and losing ones home is on the list of difficult life circumstances. But he is so maladaptive that this is a turning point for him and the life option is going to be all uphill. Even though he may be sheltered and fed, he will never have peace of mind, the desire to thrive and now he most probably is disfigured.

Now, she may be a witch, as it usually goes, you don't find a diamond married to a turd, and he did seek to hurt her in a very big way just because she refused to return home, though we can guess that there is much more to this story. But I do accept that she doesn't have a whole lot of options either. While she didn't directly burn the house down, she did to choose to behave in a way that would anger her unstable husband.

I am guessing those kids are actually adults, they may have inherited the defective mental conditions that afflict their parents, but they still have the energy of youth. The mother may be able to live with one of them.

Your position is that outside forces caused her suffering, while he is responsible for his? Yes, but I am saying while his action caused the disaster, he didn't act in a vacuum.
