Yes, and people are still writing snide comments and worse about Katherine, and when I call them on it, they ignore that. Yes K's use of drugs is, and I hope was (hoping she stopped) illegal.

But to say that it is worse than putting your lover above your children, a lover who is suspected of  physically abusing your own child, is totally beyond anything I can conceive of.

And you are so right in concluding that if anyone should be judged more harsely it should be Alex, who had children in her care.
