    Try it and you will understand. You will not condone it : but you will understand it.
    I can imagine how devastatingly painful a seperation from ones kids would be, but still couldn't possibly even begin to understand harming them in any way as a result.

    Then again I thankfully have no insight into the depression, or similar state of mind, that can result from having endured a "bad" divorce (assuming there is such a thing as a good one).

    So did the thought occur to you ????

    Flip, I've been divorced and the separation from the kids was hell, but never in my darkest days did that occur to me.

    It's all about self pity and how much you're hurting and wanting to hurt the other person more and using the children to do it. It's abhorrent, even the thought.

    As I say mentally weak pot noodles.

    Very Sad. I have a 4 yr old, and am divorced, but hurting her, no way, never, would stand infront of her and take a bullet.

    RIP Darcy.

    Try getting divorced sometime then. Its quite an experience.

    According to Wall Street the film "When a man stares into the abyss and nothing stares back he finds his character". That is bollox that is. A man finds out what total lunacy is like.

    Anyway : this thread has actually made me pleased to be really busy at work today. Bye

    Thankfully she survived, and, hopefully she will get the help she needs with the family issues that are obviously happening.
    Sadly no she did not survive

    I am divorced, it took 5 years and was not pleasant. However, I live for my kids, they live with me nearly 50% of the time, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I'm still no nearer understanding what drives these guys to it...

    WHS

    Although there have been a few cases where the mother has done the same - these seems to be an increase in these spurned partners killing their children ( and sometimes themselves)

    I worked with a lady whoes sisters ex- killed their two little boys in a car, then tried to do himself in, unfortunately he failed.

    Sorry - hanging is too good for anyone who can hurt their own babies - and you need not be a parent to understand that.

    How can you hurt someone who has fallen asleep while you read them a bedtime story?

    Mentality weak, can't cope with the grief of splitting up and become vindictive.

    If there is a hell then these guys should be at the inner ring of the inferno.
