Exactly. And I'm really disturbed by this:

>By 2008, with the older children off at college or working and my job prospects bleak, Marina and I decided to separate. She moved to San Francisco with our two youngest daughters and settled in temporarily with two of our oldest daughters who worked there. I could no longer even afford to house myself. I found friends to take in my two remaining high schoolers.

He ditched two of his kids on friends?

Both him and his wife sound like selfish idiots. You know what, if you have eight kids and money woes, you MAKE IT WORK. Even if that's living separate lives under the same roof for a while.
