you could look at it this way, if it is about his kids, and he is asking you for advice, then the advice you give and the help you give will ultimately help his kids.
about the 19 year old...he can do that because he's not that boys friend or dad, or whomever. he's more mad that it was you, his wife, that did that, not because of what you did. IMHO. BUT, because you were his wife, you should have. you knew more than anyone else the extent of his problems and how it could hurt.
obviously that is not a logical way of thinking though.
