My 911 Call, The "Attempted Murder" of My Daughter, & Oppression of the Family Death Penalty

[Land Shark]

97. Thanks for this example of making it through (mostly)

For me, I'd like to see my children get their desire to make it through, and not lose their mother through the age of 18.

For Karita and me, since we stayed together for the sake of the children (she was a great au pair before I met her), sustaining the family living arrangement (together) is not such a big issue. So, while I am opposed to forced-divorce (a dynamic common in these kinds of cases) the application of force is not what's leading to divorce, anyway.

But there is a general issue in these kinds of cases that is the flip side of the right to marry, and it is the question of forced divorce. Just to give one example of the pressures in this area, hospitalization is $800 per day and the spouse is required to pay for some portion of that, unless they show a valid divorce decree, and there is no exception for situations like ours when an incident within the family is what leads to hospitalization.
