CTH, it sounds like you've been facing some of the same dilemmas.
What haunts me is that my ex is a poster child for D and what can go wrong in the lives of such children. Her own mother abandoned her and her sister (chasing after another man) when she was but an insecure early teenager. I think that has caused so much deep-seated damage to her that it has become manifest throughout her character. She is now following so closely in her mother's destructive footsteps that it gives me nightmares -- and I truly worry for the sake of my S's and pray constantly that this curse not be passed on to them.
