Bluntly, if he and his wife hate each other, it's better for his children that they split.  Staying together "for the children" is horrid.  NOTHING is worse for a child than living in a cold-war zone.


As for drugs...a physician was a great man, but got addicted to cocaine, and later morphine.  He tried everything (including several weeks of isolation with no access to the drug), but was never able to kick it, taking about 180mg of morphine daily.  He was a drug addict for essentially his entire adult life.


The physician was William Stewart Halsted, a co-founder of Johns Hopkins and the father of modern surgery.  Among other things, he pioneered the concept of a sterile operating room, the use of rubber gloves, and the concept of operating with minimal tissue damage.


Much of the hysteria is just that: hysteria.
