By "non-tabloid" I meant divorces between ordinary people such as those we work with, go to school with, etc., whose lives are not likely to be read about in the supermarket checkout line.
Hairdog, you seem to have a knack for picking mean, vindictive women. I can very much see your W acting this way, should she become an "ex." I can't even begin to understand how a parent can justify this to themselves, short of protecting children from an abusive parent.
Surely, this desire to hurt the other parent by hurting the children is not typical of divorce? I know it happens... but geez...
