Ok. If you know this all to be true, I'll accept that. And I do extend my prayers for her, as well as the children and the man. If, indeed, he was just a nut case, this is all the sadder. But please, let's not now assume that ALL news stories of this sort (and there will be more) are like this one. We have to see that our court system, as it stands today, is destroying our families, and ultimately, our country.

I agree. I have two children and am now remarried to a man who has two children. Their mother has made my husbands life hell for years; took every dime; still hounds him. Their children, my stepchildren, suffer. I have seen many men deeply harmed by a court system that is skewed and damaging. But interestingly, I paid financially in my divorce; had to pay my ex-husbands tax debt, etc etc I am still digging myself out of the financial hell my ex husband put me through and there wasnt one legal thing I could do about it. The courts can wreak havoc both ways.
