As many have said in past weeks, she has to find paid employment. It's not about wanting to or about finding 'something suitable'. She has to find a way to earn her keep now. It won't be easy for her to accept, but wailing online won't pay the bills and the longer she fantasizes and procrastinates, the worse it will become. IF she faces reality and quits trying to find someone to bail her out, she might straighten out and shut up

I thought Gloria is there 9 to 5 (pretty cushy nanny hours!), which means Ioan is paying her full-time. But here mAlice is saying she "does some daytime hours". Which is it?!
Others have said it here: I do wish she would stop making herself out a martyr for being a SAHM. Do the girls know what a burden she thinks they are? There was even a Tweet a while back when someone asked how the girls are doing. Answer was along the lines of: Fine, they're in their rooms with their I-Pads, but it was sooooooo straining when they were little. Does she get any joy out of them at all? And all the bull about her giving up her career for them. There was no career, she's a has-been who never was.
Reading the last few pages, few people talking about Thanksgiving, I just assumed everyone on here was from the UK.
Makes me laugh to know Alice annoys everyone from one end of the globe to the other

She's been cautioned, by the sound of it
Note also where she adds to the effect that the kids were present, but might not have heard it
If we were flies on the wall, would we hear her drilling those children, e.g., ' You heard it, didn't you? Remember ... remember when daddy said this/that? You must remember it -- you were right there. You heard it, didn't you, Big E? Yes? Yes? And I know you heard it, Little E. You even said something to me about it later. Remember doing that? Remembering it now? Yes? You did, didn't you -- you heard him say that. So if someone asks you about it later, make sure you tell them you heard it. If you don't, we'll be left eating sick for dinner -- and we'll be left with only a cardboard box to live in. So don't forget that you heard it '

OMG is he Irene’s lover killed by the can in the fog?!?!?
Absolutely this! She’s is terrifying those poor girls from a loving dad which is why I have zero sympathy for her. If she’d accepted his 50/50 custody and didn’t lie so much I’d support her fully. I have no doubt he left her for BW, that’s a crappy thing to do to someone who has stayed home with the children (albeit not properly).
He will always be their daddy, that doesn’t change because she wants to punish him for leaving her.
As others have said, we’d be championing her for new acting roles and being a spokeswomen for cheated on wives if that’s all she was. I won’t stand for parent alienation, it’s beyond hurtful. How she can claim to ever have loved him is madness. You don’t punish the children for the sins of the Father.
"Amazing Grace" is a wonderful film about William Wilberforce's fight against slavery in the British Empire. And I loved him as Lancelot in "King Arthur". That was when he was still getting leading parts in films, which dried up right around the time he married her. Coincidence? I'm sure she hurt his career. She has a terrible reputation as a drama queen and diva, apparently shooting down production of Harrow last year with her hysterics was not an isolated incident. I wouldn't be surprised if that was his aha moment. Imagine the humiliation of a 47-year-old experienced actor being ordered home like that by his wife ... yikes!
SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!
Now expanding the narrative to indicate Ioan would "remarry" her?????? This woman is an utter and complete lunatic. And I agree with others that she is now just expanding the narrative to keep attention on herself. Because once Ioan touches down in LA, it's NOT solely about her stories anymore.
She's desperate and afraid, imo, and is using tactics that might have worked for her in the past, or which maybe (probably) come naturally to her
Just me (and all I know is what I've read about it) but I don't believe he left her for another woman. I think he left because it was a case of sink or swim. Sounds as if he tried for several years and in many different ways to extricate himself, after which, if successful, he'd try to at least half-extricate the children
Parental alienation is extremely common even if the offending parent isn't aware at the time that they're guilty of it. Both parents love the children as a rule and think they're doing what's best for them. Interestingly, at least in my observation, it's the parent who 'leaves' who is most missed by the children. I know, first hand, of two mothers who left the children with the fathers. Before very much time had elapsed, those children turned on the fathers (and one was close to being a saint) and wanted to be with their mothers. The mothers were each enjoying a great, child-free life and declined to have the children. Despite that, those children (some of them now nudging 50) still favour their mother
I almost spit out my coffee at "SPEWD" !!!!! this term definitely needs to be added to the wiki and used in this and subsequent threads. (although, please let us be tactful and not overuse it like "bogan")

What a lunatic. So now it's he told her once that they absolutely had to get divorced, but in a couple of years, if she behaved herself, they could remarry in the garden, with the daughters as flower girls, and the daughters were in the room when he said it but they might not have heard it? LOL As mommy is crying? And this is something she is just now revealing? Surrrrre, Alice.
I had not seen it and was about to say.
Tattlers here have theorized how Ioan finally made a decision to leave. Even before I heard of Tattle Life, I pictured Ioan in Australia filming Harrow, perhaps it was the weekend or a day off and he got invited to a cast or crew member's home for a BBQ or dinner party. During that time, he was able to relax and just note how the couples interacted with each other (i.e., the people-watching we sometimes do at parties) and I just imagine him sitting there thinking, "oh, isn't it lovely how this couple interacts with each other" and "This is how real couples relate to each other" and coming to a decision, apart from any other woman, just noting how good healthy relationships are supposed to work....
Is it because he is Welsh? Is she trying to liken their relationship to Burton and Taylor?
So now she's realised how awful he is why doesn't she just get on with the divorce
Sounds crazy, but I can believe it might have happened. If so, it's an indication of how desperate he was to escape her. Also indicates how well he knew her and how desperate she was to hang onto him
also reveals she knew back then (whenever it supposedly occurred) that she no longer had a future in acting nor any means of financial support
other than IG. Sad for him and for her and of course for the children
