OK, one more for the road. If you knew anything about Alikat you would know that I'm fa-a-a-r from of the touchy-feeley ilk that you accuse me of being. But then, wide-sweeping generalizations seem to have always been your forte............
I could give you loads of explanations into my character and set the record straight, but I'd be truly a washout if I did that and I'm sure you agree. I do believe however, that when a woman is dealing with something that concerns her children, it IS a very sensitive subject, and telling her what a 'mouse' her husband is is not going to help her cope with the situation any better. One doesn't have to be a rocket surgeon to figure that one out.
