Yaelle---I'm just now tying your two threads of conversation together. I know I'm presuming much when I say this, but do make sure you're not projecting your horrible ex-husband's traits onto Dennis Prager. You may not be, but just in case... Not all men are like your ex. Don't be so quick to assume the worst.
I don't think I am projecting. I know divorce has to happen sometimes. But I believe he is rationalizing when it comes to the harm of divorce on kids. I love men and am married to a great FReeper of a guy.
