Yates' Ex 'Very Happy' For Her

Glad Fate Of Andrea, Who Drowned Their Kids, Being Reconsidered

(CBS) 
"There's a lot of uncertainty. She's been at (her current) facility now for several years, and she's in a pretty secure environment now. There's no danger of her fleeing or anything, but I mean secure from harm. And so she appreciates that aspect of it. I think she's been away from society for so long, and away from having freedom for so long, she's kinda forgotten what that's all about. So I think it's going to be an adjustment for her. And I think if she comes back to Houston or if she goes to a hospital, I think, either way, she's gonna, you know, adjust and it'll be good for her, maybe give her a little more hope."

Told by Syler that many people find it a bit odd that he's so forgiving, Rusty said: "From the time we met, we've had a good relationship, a mutually respectful, supportive relationship. I'm encouraged by the fact that we're able to continue our friendship, even through the divorce. So, you know, we really have been a good support to each other. We both enjoy reminiscing about the time we had together with each other."

Do they speak about their children?

"Every time (he visits her). Yes, we do," he says. "She has been pretty stable for the last year. There was a, probably a period of three years when I would visit her, I never knew who I was going to meet. One time she's down, one time up. One time she cries. One time she can't cry. It's largely a function of her chemical state, what medication she's on. … It's very difficult to see. For the last year, she's been pretty stable."
