...If I were his wife, I would have the kids in Sweden by now. He doesn’t deserve to be their father and until he gets help, she needs to protect herself and her innocent children...

I'd bet you're somebody's ex-wife.

As long as the guy's not an axe-murderer or abuses his children then the kids have every right to spend time with their father.

Sorry lady, Mr. Woods has as much right to his children as Mrs. Woods.

No-

Not an exwife. Happily married for 26 years +. Thanks for the accusation.

I understand and sympathize with Mr. Woods’ needs as a father and the needs of children for their father. I know too many broken adults/young people who don’t have good relationships with their fathers and let’s just say they tend to “look for love in all the wrong places.” Adults wounded in childhood are not pretty pictures. However, at this point, I think he’s a sociopath, engaging at behavior that risks both his wife and children. Mr. Woods needs to get help. Ms. Woods needs to protect herself and her children now. This includes a wall of privacy from the lunacy that he has created with his pursuit of creating an image of moral decency while engaging in the opposite behavior. If he really cared for his wife and kids, he would insist they be protected. What’s to keep him from following her to Sweden where she would have the support of her family? He needs to put the needs of his wife and children first and not worry about his endorsements, game, or public image. A real man would do that. The media circus (including lawyers, PR people, enablers, sympathizers, promoters etc...) is insane. She needs love, respect and time to heal.

And yes, I have no sympathy for Mr. Woods...he is reaping the consequences he sowed. This isn’t an indiscretion. It is a pattern of behavior that has eroded all trust. I could forgive a husband straying. A horndog who has multiple partners is a different matter. What about the promises he made to “forsake all others?”
