[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 403364, member: 1872"] I've had experience with this. Lots. I'm going to say something that may sound really sexist but actually I think it's a matter of wiring. I don't think many guys have what it takes to make this decision and really, fundamentally commit to it 100% and never waffle or make the woman feel like she's wrong. They don't understand the tremendous amount of love, and the courage of love, that underpins a decision like this. They don't understand the sacrifice a woman will make to protect her child and the rest of her family -- to have a child removed from the family requires a tremendous sacrifice from everyone. And when the child goes, no one will feel the pain of the sacrifice like the woman. Even though she has been the primary decision-maker. And she'll probably be the comforter of those who remain in the home (including the grown-up, adult male husband), and of the one who goes away. This is the fierce love of a woman. And the courage and determination. in my opinion. Nothing against guys. They just don't understand this type of courage nor are they wired for it. Jo P.S. There is one exception -- Atticus Finch from "To Kill a Mockingbird." But he's fiction. [/QUOTE]
