> So why are my comments "naturally" banned from this discussion? I just want to say, I feel badly for you, and don't necessarily need or want to comment on your questions. But I feel the need, somehow, to explain this point of view and share some insights. If it's not helping you, or is detracting from the discussion, I'm sorry and I'll stop...

Maybe it would have been better to say something like "I'm particularly interested in how other men have handled this type of situation." Which is not to say women can't respond or don't have much to offer to this thread, but rather, that in *general* men are more violent than women and so would be more likely to relate. I can't certainly understand seeking out those that are more likely to relate. Anyway, I only have a nickel, so can I get 3 cents back? ;-)
