I think Kate has criticized, and put Jon down for so long that he finally got fed up, and humiliated enough. God Blessed them with 8 beautiful, after not even really having fertility problems to speak of....I tried for 10 years and finally had one beautiful daughter. My husband left me when she was 5, for another woman. I realized I put him down at times, and will forever regret that. So, while I don't judge Kate, I DO feel that he just plain got embarrassed for the last time. But God Bless all 10 of them, and hopfully no matter what...the children will end up okay. They certainly will never "need" anything financially, as my daughter and I did for so many years. God Bless!
