"Manipulated Man?" Hhmm, wonder if Martin, Ms. Vilar's son,

thinks, about the whole deal.  When Martin was a boy, his parents divorced. Mamma has a quote, that goes along the lines of not divorcing her husband, but marriage itself.  Well, that all sounds sssoo revolutionary,  but there was one little glitch:  her son, a young MAN was forced to grow up without both his parents in the house.  That can be really tough on a kid.

And sure, the divorce was likely drama-free.  But still, even drama-free divorces pull the rug from beneath kids' feet.  Btw, this isn't about where one spouse is just plain mean and wicked.  Most couples who divorce, do  want to keep their children connected to both parents. 

But visiting dad (or mom) every other weekend, and every wednesday...it's not the same; but it is alot of shilly-shallying around ...ya know, aw crap, left my math book at dads (who lives 40 miles away - if not further).
