Most of us adults can handle the callousness of the MLCers actions or inactions.
However, too many of us become indignant when we see them 'doing' this to our children.
"How DARE They?!?!"
Well first off, they dare quite well, how dare you? ; )
Secondly...we use our children as proxies for how we really feel. Its like a safety valve. We think we can handle the amoral adulturous entitled person our spouse has become, and we act that way...right up until that low life selfish scumbag affects our children and their life.
...
Know what I mean?
Food for thought...when my youngest, pulled away from my wife to hold my hand crossing the parking lot, because he was used to me being around...she almost broke down, and I am not big enough to say a part of me didn't dance inside when that happened.
