Alice was, is, and always will be, filled with resentment against Ioan. She felt superior to him, like he was someone lesser being who could be pushed around and moulded into someone she felt she deserved. His move to Hollywood was only partially successful, and that really got to her. She thought he wasn’t trying hard enough (he was more successful than her, who was she to feel resentful) and that is when the rot set in. She started her campaign of bringing him down. She saw nothing wrong in continually chipping away at him, making fun of him, and undermining him. It seems like he started to push back before they split up, which was why she was growling about getting a new boyfriend, wanting a divorce. Ioan had reached that point where the pain of staying outweighed the pain of going and leaving the kids with her. Her resentment is increasing, not abating. She sees her former possession thriving in his new life and relationship, he looks well and happy, he has the upper hand legally (and rightly so), things are dropping into place for him. Alice meanwhile, like a wounded old bear, is howling at the moon via her social media. She knows she is a busted flush. She can’t stand it.
