Exactly. Plus I imagine she'll interfere in the girls' personal lives once they are adults too. Probably dictating who they date or who they are friends with etc.The sad thing for Ioan is that if he knew Alice was actually a good mother and the children were being brought up properly and developing into healthy and happy young adults, he would at least be able to have some peace about it. He would of course miss them and be sad about not being in their lives but he would know they were ok. He will never have that peace because he knows she is a monster and she will turn them into copy and paste versions of herself.
