There's a difference between that and airing it all in public though - just because she hasn't given an interview doesn't make it fact that the "quotes" didn't actually come from her - people can be very media-savvy. So I wouldn't necessarily be labouring under the assumption Abby's all sweet and innocent in all of this. The only people that label applies to are the children.
For me it boils down to the simple fact that there must have been something not quite right in their marriage, at least from Ben's point of view, for him to leave at the first opportunity. Yes, it's deplorable to do that so abruptly, and yes, he seems not to even have considered the effect on the children, but I do think it's rather short-sighted to place 100% of the blame on him without a second thought.
At the end of the day though this is all speculation. The only facts are that Ben and Kristina are now together and having a child, and that there are sadly children already caught up in this mess who don't seem to be being given much of a thought.
