Continuing with the quote, do you really ever "get rid" of someone who has a key part of your life. To me D is just a shoddy covering over an obvious mess that never goes away. Most mistakes we make will go away with effort and time, however D is one of those things that will always be present in one form or another, especially if you have kids or grandkids.
In college my room mate was from a D family, it was tough watching him try to get over the hurdles of dating, trusting and dealing with R challenges. All a girl had to do was roll her eyes funny and he would be out of there.
