So, to answer your question Karen, the child is an integral part of the arrangement and is well aware of it. Respectfully disagree. A child may be aware of whatever arrangement the parents have, but no child signs on to the contract because they are children. It's the same thing as consensual sex between an adult and a child. No such thing because I child is not of the age of consent. The child is always the victim. Period. I'm aware of all sorts of arrangements that couples have made where they have found a way to minimize the damage to their children and things worked out OK. I have a colleague who left a marriage because he is gay. He seems to have a great relationship with his ex and his kids don't appear to be any the worse for it. But the families who work these things out successfully don't do it with the spotlight of the press or the Republican right on them. I'm sickened by what Clinton did to his daughter even as I applaud his handling of NAFTA, for example. Parents must be prepared to make sacrifices for their kids or they shouldn't bring them into the world. Karen
