Actualy our silly antiquated ideas about relationships and love have resulted in the bleedings of many upon many a page (and musical instrumnet, and canvas) What's the problem if we dash a little Mrs. Dash on them? (: Or cayenne. Or ginger. (mm ask me about ginger root play). And let me tell you this: just because a child happens to be single-parented (what a word), does not mean that child is dysfunctional or lives in a dysfunctional home. The govt/media/church has tried to make it look like there is a disintegration, when in fact, there is a coming together of other family members and friends to raise children.
