Did you ever gleefully inform her of that fact?jimlongley wrote: The apple did not fall far from the tree and this is one of those rare instances where I know why her husband left her and don't blame him in the least.

The father had been actively searching for his son those seven years. He started drinking and pretty much lost everything in the process.
He was able to put his life back together. Had stopped drinking through the support of wife and family. Wife has passed away and the announcement of the early release has brought back all the old wounds. I don't think this father feels like he has much to lose.
I stood in my front vestibule with a shotgun pressed against the forehead of a kid who came to my house in the middle of the night and told me in graphic terms what he was going to do to my young teenage daughter. He threatened me and tried to push me out of the way, at which point my wife, standing just out of sight, handed me my gun. I made him kneel and pray that I wouldn't pull the trigger (which wouldn't have done much good because she didn't load it) and when the cops arrived he tried to get them to arrest me for assault, they laughed in his face while leading him away in handcuffs.
I doubt that I would have hesitated to do the same if he had succeeded no matter how much time had passed.
