Answers to last month's poll about
child-separation anxiety. Take this
month's poll: You and your significant
other have split. S/He is a royal jerk and you
are somewhat glad that it is finally over.
Your children do not feel the same way, but
instead want to spend as much time with your
ex- as possible. Not only that, but they also
want to hang out with their aunts, uncles,
grandparents, and others. You, on the other
hand, have had enough of the whole family.
