This is actually one of these areas where I have to concede a point or two (grudgingly) to those conservative commentators who talk about the "entitlement mentality" of modern American society. You really see it in WAWBFF's "we should toast ourselves" - gimme half a frickin' break!!! Aren't we swell for having the "courage" to leave our non-abusve, middle-class life and damage our spouses and children - changing our children forever - in order to become the True Ourselves that a string of post- (or mid-) divorce sexual relationships will enable us to become. And we DESERVE that. Home of the brave, indeed.
@polly - iphone's almost dead, but I'll check yr thread later today when I get back to my office computer.
