No, I woukd say it's the opposite. I think he moved on well before she did. All her public complaints and interviews made me think that she is not over him. He got sober and woke up.
I don't think there's anything worse than a parent turning kids against the other parent. Even if the parent was initially in the wrong and needed to get sober and make amends for the pain he caused the family. His behavior at the time was unforgivable but he seems to have done everything possible to give the kids stability and gain his share of custody after. I remember those pictures of him flying all over for reunification visits and to visit the kids on their birthdays. She did not support reunification, no matter what she says publicly, so it never happened. She made it clear to the kids that their father caused her pain, and continued to cause her pain (through litigation etc), and taught them to continue to fear him and to be loyal to her and her alone.
My impression is that she was a needy, controlling, difficult, and humorless partner and he probably feels much lighter without her. I don't think he loves Ines, but I think he will want a happier and more fun experience with his next partner. Presuming he's worked on his own issues and unhappiness, of course. They must both have some fond memories of their highs together but since the kids basically only love her now, must be awful for him to deal with his share in that, plus resentment and anger toward her for her large part in that. Even though he was in the throes of addiction, doesn't seem she's been able to forgive him for the hurt he inflicted on her and the kids. Lots of toxicity on both sides, hard to imagine them ever being remotely amicable much less still loving each other. It's sad, honestly. Above all for the kids, who could have and should have had two loving parents in their lives.
