Yes the 4 kids are mine too. As far as I know she treats the kids well enough. Her kids are older.
I imagine her life has been chaotic but to choose to care for someone else's kids under a controlling man seems awful. Yes I think he likely is just as controlling over her as he was over me, because they have a much bigger age difference and I had more education and better career prospects.
