called a c suite, as in ceo. the only catch was, his office was a long drive away in the san francisco bay area and, not wanting to uproot his family, todd got an apartment in town, returning home to the airpark for the weekends. which meant, of course, that rachel was now anchored to home, and two toddlers, monday through friday and was soon quite restless. so she put her kids into daycare and got a full-time job managing the airpark. reporter: how was she as a mother, by the way? oh, she was okay, i guess. reporter: was that harsh? don, you should know, has firmly rooted religious beliefs. i tried to lead all of my children to the love of jesus christ. reporter: it was an article of don s brand of faith. a mother should be at home with her kids. i was really pretty frustrated that she had them over in daycare and that she was working full-time.
reporter: todd winkler, distressed by his wife s infidelity, found an unlikely ally as he prepared to confront her lover, james white. but in this case rachel s dad don hatfield was only too happy to help. he did not approve of his daughter s behavior, just too much like his own once was. and don was a guy who d been carrying his guilt like a cross for years. i tried to lead all of my children to the love of jesus christ. there was only one major obstacle to that ever occurring in a way that that i would be happy with. and that was my hypocrisy. what do you mean? huh? your hypocrisy? my hypocrisy. chasing women. oh. blowing my marriage. reporter: as don tells it, women found his role as an ascendant artist quite appealing. never mind he was a married father of four. and that kind of thing
