SG, this is a great discussion. I'm hearing so many people give me ideas on how I can make life better for my girls. My situation isn't as extreme as others, but the hurt is there and I want the best for them.

As a child I lived through 2 divorces. One was violent and painful. I was the 'prize' to my grandmother who wanted to punish my mother for divorcing her son. Her sun the drunk bar room brawler. So I never knew my mother and I had a strict, mean grandmother.

But I turned out ok.

You really opened a hot topic here, a lot of healing is happening on this thread. Thanks for not locking it when it turned. I think people need to vent and heal.
