nata is right. besides the fact that violence against women is just plain wrong and anyone who does that is basically a coward and the scum of the earth, they do ruin it for the decent guys of the world...and there are some out there.

A lot of the nice guys just don't get a 2nd look cause they're usually not the "macho" guys or the "bad boys" that seem to be attractive to women. Don't get me wrong, that's not a complaint or anything. I'm a nice guy, and I tend to have a fatal attraction to bad girls (but also to nice girls).

and, the reason I came back to post, and forgot what I was going to say after reading nata's posting, was......definitely celebrate Christmas with your kids. They've been thru a lot and deserve to have as much of a stress free and enjoyable Christmas as possible.
