No, I don't live in a dreamland. I live in the real world as a widow the last 8 years, raising 4 sons after my husband died from a chronic illness. We owned no home or property and he had no life insurance beyond a couple thousand to cover memorial expenses. I was a stay-at-home mother who never earned more than a dollar over minumum wage. He was ill and unable to work for a couple years before he died, and I stayed with him and worked and did all I could until death did part us. Social Security has allowed us to scrape by while I raise the boys, and now I'm off to find a job -- probably no better than the one I had last year as Christmas sales help in a department store for $6.95 hr.
I've never been a "powerful woman" so I didn't post on this thread until now, but your screed about poor abused married men and the women who are out to ruin them didn't ring true. You are not seeing the big picture, just a bitter little corner.
See post #1085. Don't feed the trolls... ;)
