My heart just went out to Catherine. It was a well written book. I can't believe the heartlessness of what happened to her. Children need their mothers. I have two boys myself and I could never give up on them either. Some people do not understand that children are easily persuaded. Down underneath it , these children love her. Sooner or later, Catherine will get what she wants , they will grow up, and question this whole thing. I pray for that to happen. I'm starting to think, that it might be better to try to hold more marriages together for the sake of the children. Things like this happen when parents split up. She may have had good reason to split up with this man, though. I've been divorced too, but sometimes I wonder if I should'nt have stayed because everyone suffers in a divorce.
