Oh I know that it wasn't all directed at just me. And I agree too many people jump to the take the kid agrument. When parents screw up it is just easier for everyone to say take the kid instead of someone working with the parent to correct the flawed thinking that got them into the position they are in. With that being said some situations really do warrant a "get the kid the heck out of there" approach. I took it a little personal and I know it was probably a little premature but one person in particular made the comment in all caps "YEAH I AM POSITIVE YOU ARE ALL WRONG IN EVERY SINGLE WAY. ESPECIALLY YOU!!!" after I said "...not every single one in every single way...". And that was one of my points because that person did what they accused me of doing by assuming what I said had no validity when in fact what I said was based on common sense and personal experience. It just annoys me when someone underestimates someone else's personal experiences. Question me if you must; I will answer them; but DO NOT assume that I make it common practice to assume something about situations that I have never had a dealing in.

ihavealife: No that is not what I am saying. I don't know if she flipped or rolled her car on Center avenue. If that is true I was not aware of it. All I was saying was that I am being told by friends of her's that she is changing and that I have no idea what I am talking about (even though they don't know if I do or not) whether she is or not I do not know because I do not talk to her. I hope she is, you would think that she would after all of this. I am not pretending to know what she is or isn't doing or how she feels about it. That is why I did not make character attacks to her because I am sure there is a lot about her I don't know and I try not to go after people I don't know very well. If I make a comment about them it is their action I am talking about not what kind of person they are outside of the action. If that happened on Center avenue was she drunk or was it just a "regular" accident? Excuse me for saying if but I don't want to sound like I assume it happened if I have never heard about it. And yes if you have one drunk driving accident one would hope you learned a lesson the first time but fact of the matter is some people don't. And once again before anyone tries to jump down my monitor I am not assuming ANYTHING.

I never said any of those things but I was accused of saying something false. I only said what is undeniable fact. I never made judgments on her character or said she should have her kid taken. Never did words of personal attack or unjust sarcasm come from my keyboard on this matter. I also never said anyone should not be her friend.I don't flip flop on my friends but I will write them off if they burn me too many times. But I did have someone tell me I have no clue. I promise you I have been on the other side of her coin. I have been negatively affected by someone who made the same kind of mistake she did. When that happens to you the last thing you care about is how the driver feels (in most cases). Especially if the person that driver hits dies or their quality of life is forever worsened by the accident. I never made assumptions but a lot of you did so check and make sure your not assuming before you accuse everyone else. That's all.

And in reference to the article at hand: I think that the reason they are using high heels on men is because it is the only thing men can do to feel the pain we feel. They can not give child birth, they cannot get their periods, they cannot know how it feels to be "picked on" by someone you love. They may know how it feels to be "picked on" by someone they love but like I said earlier men react differently than we do to things. Especially things like that. It is the only way they could feel our pain. Pretty creative if you ask me.

needhelp: My brother-in-law is a landlord and that 30 day thing only applies if the "tenant" is paying rent. If she is living there for free it does not count. You leaving and not her feeds into her control. The situation is that easy it is the action that is not easy. And if it is hard it is usually exactly what needs to be done (there are cases when that is not true but not many). I understand wanting to work things out but sometimes things are not meant to work out. If you can be separated and help is sought and successful then it may be worth working out but if it is detrimental to anyone it is not a healthy thing. And someone already said it once but I am going to reiterate it...sometimes people walking away from you is the wake up call you need; it is called hitting rock bottom and that is what needs to happen before addicts realize they need help. Again good luck to you.

Oh and by the way. Mud slinging only gets blood pressure boiling it does not make a point. If you have a point to make if you say it in a more civilized way more people listen. It makes me shake my head in dissapointment when I read some of the comments people put on these articles.

needhelp: Unfortunately I do not know of an organization like the YWCA that would help a man in this area. I am sorry to admit that but at least I was honest. I am a woman and the only thing I can tell you is that if it is that bad kick her out. I am not trying to sound callous but if she is that much of a pain or a danger as you say then she must leave and she is not going to do it on her own. I mean why would she? Your son deserves to grow up without two parents who are constantly fighting. Some people just cannot live together. And they are right; you CANNOT get her the help she has to want it. Someone cannot be forced into meetings or treatments and if they are it does not work for them. ANY kind of counciling only works if the person in it wants to change. I know it sounds cliche but it is true. I would do what some of them are suggesting about Mercy and the others but I am almost positive that the Y doesn't cater to men. I only know women who have been victims but I do agree that maybe someone should do an all around walk for both sexes. And as far as evansvillehouswife she seems to just be bitter. I used to sound just like her. And I am sorry to say this but some of us women are just scorned and refuse to accept that maybe men can be victims too. A lot of it comes from not seeing or understanding where men come from or how they handle things. I am not claiming to be an all knowing about men but I do know they handle things VERY differently than we women do. Bottom line is, needhelp, if you need help you have to first get the problem away from your son. You don't want him to grow up resentful because his parents could not be in the same room without fighting. It could drastically affect the way he handles his relationships with women. Good luck to ya.

Fact is kids learn pretty bad stuff on the playground and at the lunch table and that is where is it YOUR responsibility as a parent to correct that innapropriate behavior. What really bothers me is that When I was in sixth or seventh grade my entire school had every television tuned to O.J.'s hearing the day he got his verdict and nobody screamed about that. Judging by the adjectives used it sounds like the only reason some people don't want it heard by kids is because they don't agree with the person delivering the message. I don't really like him either but I agree with the message and think ALL kids should hear it...AN EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT; WORK HARD TO GET WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AND DON'T EXPECT ANYONE ELSE TO CARRY YOU THERE. Now was that so bad?
