That does make a lot of sense. And Wilhelmine does record, after she's been knocked senseless to the ground, "My brothers and sisters, the youngest of whom was 4 years old, were embracing his knees and attempting to move him by their tears."
Also, at this point, they all believe Fritz is dead, because that's the first thing FW yells when he sees SD. Then he whales on Wilhelmine, the younger sibs try to calm him down, SD is yelling hysterically. Organized interventions would be difficult, at least if Wilhelmine's sequence of events is anything like what actually happened. (We know that the general picture is correct, because it's confirmed by outside sources.)
Once they find out Fritz is actually alive (way to mind-fuck, FW), Wilhelmine reports trying to agree to marry whoever, if Fritz will be spared, but Sonsine closes off her mouth with a handkerchief.

The dysfunction is strong with this family.
