Correct.

We've been reading the same sort of books.

The combat 'heroes' are often the ones who have psychopathic personalities.

I read an article that 98% of psychopathic personalities are not Serial Killers, but people who work and function in society in many different occupations without being thought a 'psychopath' by those who know them.

One of the defining features of the psychopath is the inability to feel fear or empathy as ordinary people do.

Back when, the Turks had a whole regiment made up of men who were called the 'Undisciplinables'. These were truly scary dudes. Whenever a city was proving too difficult to conquer with Turkey's ordinary regiments - they would send for ... (drumroll) ... 'The Undisciplinables'.

These were Hannibal Lecter, Genghis Khan, and Doctor Frankenstein's monsters all rolled into one. History has not recorded if they actually dragged their knuckles along the ground, but they must have been a terrifying sight as they came charging towards the city walls after being released by their Turkish masters.

Herb.

I was at 1 stage a single mother.

Why?

I needed to escape violence.

The abusive nutter in question was my elite private schooled lawyer husband...the actual father of my now teenage son and daughter.

I shut and locked the door on that revolting relationship by initiating divorce proceedings. And that was a difficult and brave step for me to take...because it went against my cultural/religious upbringing.

I'm now in a completely different and far more positive situation BECAUSE I MOVED ON.

I was determined to make drastic changes for the sake of my kids' future. I did that by making the decision to find and marry someone completely and utterly different to my ex husband.

Looking back....I guess I needed a new but very different partner in my life...mainly for support/someone to share my sore soul's problems with. What helped me was my faith in God and my family....and the fact that I fought hard to get as much counselling as possible.

Make no mistake....counselling support programs are underfunded. Fact!

Herb...many women try to correct their life's mistakes by moving on. Many fall back into the fire whilst doing so because they don't have enough support.

Please don't judge them for that.

Oh and just so you know, your post has unfairly judged me too. 

You seem to have handled all that pretty well Lisa and I doffs my cap to you.
Single mothers always have, always will be with us.
Young blokes have little or no control over their testosterone and girls have little control over stars in their eyes.
And then there's violence.

The only civilised solution is to provide support.
There may be no parents to do that and if they're unwilling it falls to the state.
The state needs to give generous support. This is not 1850 though it may become so again.
But it must not become an alternative lifestyle and there's where you come up against the dilemma.

Thank you Mr Bogarde.

I lost a lot of money and my health along the way.

Any regrets? None whatsoever!

My children were/are worth it.

Life is good these days.

And you're 100% correct as regards support.

Stop playing the victim, Herbie.

"'Single Mothers' are a breed of creature that I utterly loathe. "

Creep.

Herbie's playing the victim (once again), after posting this:

"'Single Mothers' are a breed of creature that I utterly loathe."

This creep needs to be exposed.

If you want to be his apologist, that's your choice.
