Thank you for your kind thoughts. My Mom did find something kind of like that in her third marriage. They both seemed happy with how it turned out.
Sometimes I wonder how it would be if potential parents had to pass a basic test before having kids. The equivalent of getting a drivers' license...easy for an ordinary person to pass but weeding out some of scariest contenders. People who were basically good but with a weak area (say, anger management) could take a class if needed.
Yes, there is something a creepy in being so focused on the fetus that the mother and her needs become invisible. Pro-choice and pro-life camps both have good points but taken to extremes...creepy.
