I am not looking at it from my point of view, I am looking at it from the children's point of view. Whatever she believes, that she may or may not find a better place, she has DEFINITELY left two children behind her.
IMO she has done this, taken this selfish decision, for something which is not even real. We would all like to believe this or that and we would all like to behave entirely as we wish, but when you have a child you can't. When you are a parent, you are all that child has. You have the power of a God in the child's life. You are all that stands between the child and the danger surrounding it. And it is YOUR responsibility to step up to the mark.

You can't really say that (with any merit). Forceing her to live isn't going to make her step up to the mark. What happens when you save the life of someone who is suicidal? They try again (usually until they get mental help or succede). I don't believe that she should have done that, but I am against forcing it upon her to live. She is not their only protection (and based on the decision that she made, she might not be the best protection either), they still have family, they still have their father.
