...it does depend on how much parents love their kids.

My mum and dad divorced about 2 weeks after I was born. My dad didn't believe I was his (even though I look like the old bastard so much.) And I grew up with my mum and sister. And it is my dad that has disowned me.

He didn't care that both my half brothers are crooks. The youngest was in jail for doing armed robbery, but he cares that one of his kids is queer. It is unbelievable.

As for Sappho, she had a completely different experience, and if she stumbles across this thread when she wakes tomorrow, she will probably share. :)
