M2M,Xero, My heart goes out to you. What you've been through is nothing short of torture, but you've come out winners and I'm sure your stories will inspire SD and others. I know it has inspired me. Thanks so much for sharing XOXOX :)

Hi and Welcome! Congratulations on the June wedding. :)

Hi there, Guess it's pretty normal to worry, but come to think of it worry really doesn't serve any purpose, don't you think? :)

Hi Greg, Welcome aboard. I'm sure there are lots of Dads here with tips to share.

Whew! I'm hoping that helped. At least you know it wasn't that she didn't care about her sons.

Hello Liza, Nice to meet you :)

Even if I did do something stupid, yours would be hard to top. But I'm so glad your story had a happy ending. :)
