While I think emotions can run high on this forum as we all loved Scott, I think there are some in denial here about his actions. No doubt, Scott loved Mary and his children (and vice versa). But the man also had been in a fog for a few years now too...I'm sure there's another side to it, but I don't doubt the things Mary has said. Scott dug himself deeper and deeper down a hole with alcohol and whatever else (if anything) he was abusing. There's so much contradictory information coming out right now (Mary, Scott wanting VR to reunite, coke found on bus, etc.) it's hard to form a strong opinion. No matter how much Scott WANTED to be there, his addiction and bad desires found a way to prevent him from doing that. It's not Mary's fault that's for sure. And maybe she moved away with the kids because he drove her away? Maybe she felt like she needed to so she could distance herself from his inevitable fate (in hindsight). Not saying that's the case, but one should consider all options, no matter how hard it is b/c of the loss of Scott, who we all love and respect and want to think of in the best light. But he was a human being - and we all have flaws and make mistakes. And a human being with anything but clarity in his head the last few years...
And after all, while she may sound angry, she has every right to be. How can people be so shortsighted to all of a sudden call this woman evil and bitter? It may seem like the wrong timing to post this in some of our minds - we're all sensitive to the loss of Scott - but in the end, NONE of us knew him like she did. For god's sake they were married and in love for many years and she's the mother of his children! Besides, with all the enabling and ass-kissing that was happening in his life in the last couple years, maybe it's a good thing she posted this in the fashion she did. Yes, maybe it's unfair to Scott and a little angry in tone, but imagine how she feels right now...I'm sure anger, amongst many other emotions, is going through her head.

(Wildabouts are cool, Blaster is ok, AOA is ok, but this is for example the kind of high quality band that Scott should / could be playing with)
