Dan,

It's TOTAL BS! Don't expect justice. In a court room? This whole thing is messed up!

So, to summerize, the WAS can hose our entire life, Hose the kids, hose our faith and our self esteem, hose everything we believed was good and right in the world. They can be selfish, cowardly jackasses. They can, by their independant actions, lower the level of economic living standards for an entire group of people, most importantly for their own innocent children. And if they are lucky enough to be leaving a spouse that makes significantly more money than them, the JUSTICE system will reward them financially for being destructive and stupid. And by default, they will punish the one person who is trying to prevent this from happening.

No fault D is a stain.

Sorry man. I know as your pal I should be spouting calming words of encouragement right now. It's just that I'm pissed off for you.

My real hope is that eventually some of the realities will start sinking in and your W (and mine and all the others. H's included) will pull her head out and see what she's risking for some stupid pipe dream. You know, some days I think living in the woods like Kazinsky would make me happy, but then I pull MY head out and think of all I would have to give up, all the hardships I'd have to endure and everyone I would hurt by "dropping off the grid". So I don't make that stupid decision because I'm not a dumbass (most of the time anyway). It's been an eye-opener to learn that she is.

You've got my Prayers bro.
