********MAY TIGGER!!!!!!!************
wi,

I don't want to hi-jack your thread but i want to say something regarding your reply to jen.

My parents got divorced when I was 4. My mom remarried man who beat her and his kids, tried to kill her and sexuallly abused me. She finally left him. He came to our house one night and tried again to kill her. Then she married my step dad now! He has been good to her, but he abused us kids.
Picking us up off the floor by our hair, holding us by one arm whiles beating us, emotional,mentally physically abusing all three of us. He sexually abused me. Not sure about my sister. He told us we would never amount to anything that we would all be failures. That we are sorry excuses for humans.
So just because there is a two parent home, does not mean it is better for the kids! Having to live in a house where you are scared to make a mistake no matter how trival, is no way to live. I only wished my mom would have belived me when I told her!!!!

Sorry to get on my soap box....... stepping down now.
