[polotics]

I am a child of the first ever no-fault divorce in a western European country I won't name. It was a while ago, mid 80's. I estimate it stole 10 years of my life, led me to have to learn quite early a lot more psychology than I ever should have had to. My brother is a social write-off, unable to work. On the upside I am better at gauging mental health issues than several practicing medical doctors, nurses that I know. ... To everyone out there: - Getting someone to drink alcohol is a way to sort out narcissist psychopaths (avoid/destroy) from sociopaths (hug/fix). - Anyone with some brains will have some schizoid traits at tine, watch carefully, get help early. - Illnesses (Lyme, thyroid, many others) that affect behaviour will be gladly ignored by profiteering psychologists and pill- peddling quacks. - Having a child is a wonderful thing, and don't worry too much, whatever happens nature (DNA, luck) beats nurture (divorce, sick societies) as long as nutrition and germs allow for it.
