OC - You reminded me of some stuff that my H said a while ago about how he felt sorry for ow's kids and that their sitch mirrored his parent's d. It was a total revolving door with his Mom and all of her men and in the end she chose a man over her kids. Soooooooo.......he can rescue ow's kids from exactly what you described. Too bad about H's own child except that he knows that I can take care of her and me and wouldn't subject any child to that crap.
Ok.. on a lighter note, I had an employee pop into my office today and start a conversation with: "Hi beautiful". He got a little embarrassed and I think that might've just slipped out! hahahahaha!!
