CBK - Anytime is good for the beer. Yes, I am not losing my kids, this is what also my parents and W keep telling me.... unfortunately I am the child of a divorced family, and my experience wasn't that positive, I am afraid of the story repeating itself. I'll be there for the kids, and they'll survive but I don't believe in the "large family" or "they are going to have 2 families". Both my parents, remarried, and rebuild their lives and 2 new families. I don't feel I have 2 families though, or a large family, instead I ended up thinking I had none - those "new" families weren't MY family. If one of the parents didn't remarried I would have thought that THAT was my family. But it is very unfair to ask for celibacy. Specially my father now that he is sick is much better off then if he was alone.... he had the "wisdom" to merry a pretty nurse 20 years younger then him - Not being a rich guy I guess he HAS some qualities she saw in him.... Anyway, just some thoughts - .... the point is.... I need a beer.
