Holy shit. Thanks for the backstory, BoR. 9 children in 16 years? That's beyond fertile... for most women, the average birth spacing without contraception is at least 2 years between children, due to breast feeding and the like... so that is pretty wild. What I don't understand is why the father didn't at least use condoms, if he didn't want any more children?... or maybe he had mental issues as well? That's just really sad, and scary... pretty much psychotic behavior, given the circumstances (MORE CHILDREN!). Very sad for the children, trying to imagine what kind of childhoods they had...
