@nitinkhanna Until the modern period, family and divorce were mostly private matters and when a family broke apart the woman was on her own and had to try and make a new family, and the man was on his own and had to try and make a new family. State mandated visitation rights and alimony are quite modern inventions I think. I’m not saying good or bad, just that weird is a matter of perspective. Bag of hurt nonetheless.

@phoneboy I didn't know there were gender categories of narcissists. I wonder how the two sexes operate differently. I've encountered male ones myself but not female.
I'm going to have to pay an accountant to help me. I tried to make sense of my financial things myself but it's turning me into a confused and miserable old grouch. Lets get this sorted (by an expert), then move on and try to damn well enjoy life.
@matigo It's like a bullcrap shop opened in your town and the rules demand that you buy a load of it's bullcrap every week for heaps of dosh.
It's also a weird kind of punitive torture. I hope that metaphoric knot gets untied for you soonish.

@matigo I wonder what the temperature is now in high altitude villages in the Japanese Alps.
@sumudu Do you get any nice birdsong in your garden? I'm currently listening to a nice warble from the trees across the road.
@hazardwarning I thought I was the only British person who hadn't had a Mediterranean holiday.
