All of which assumes you're in an emotionally healthy relationship. Being single or divorced is NOT the worst thing in some situations (and I hasten to add this comment has NOTHING to do with the Lightfoots; I'm not privy to their private lives and wouldn't comment if I was.)

However I *can* speak from close family experience, having a sibling who is married to someone diagnosed by a psychiatrist as having what is now called antisocial personality disorder (i.e. a sociopath.) These people can be utterly charming, well educated, successful etc. The flip side is they are chronic liars, have no sense of responsibility, are impulsive, emotionally immature and abusive, and self-centered - in other words, devastating to live with and no role model for children. They do not consider other people's wishes, welfare or
rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal pleasure or profit. They may default on loans, fail to provide child support, or fail to care for their dependents adequately. High risk sexual behavior and substance abuse are common. Unfortunately all of the above applies to the soon-to-be former inlaw.

Like Tolstoy wrote, "all happy families resemble each other; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

I really hope that Gordon and Liz can fix their marriage. I don't want him to be lonely. And I'm sure he misses his kids.
