Thank you for your comments, Susan. Yes, I've noticed the atmosphere here. I think dialogue is paramount to any understanding - and that co-operation is more powerful than confrontation. While I understand that some men have brought isolation upon themselves, I believe that with communication and understanding, any person can be assisted back into a community. Charlene, I am not male identified, but I believe that a functioning family unit is at the heart of social health, and that a woman's role is to work to keep that family happy and whole. Your lesson, Susan, with your father-in-law, is a good one. with thanks Martha G.
