But who are we to stand in her way if this is what she chooses to do?
That's very true and I think most of would agree. But she has no idea the multitude of things that can cause this to explode and I think most of us see it as irresponsible to risk her children in the conflagration that will ensue.
OsideGirl, I do agree that because others are involved, the potential consequences border on the tragic. But this is no different from a multitude of decisions that adults make that cause their children grief in specific situations (and I mean anything from divorce to drugs to the bf/gf that becomes the abusive stepparent, etc., etc., etc.) The fact that the odds are so against her do not mean she is not entitled to make her choice. And, for better or for worse, most kids in the world, are along for whatever ride their parents take them on. I see a lot of tragic things imposed on children through no fault of their own. And that, from the children's perspective, is just tremendous bad luck. Because we have no rules about parents being forced to make only those decisions which are in the best interest for their children (and I'm not sure as a society that such rules would even be possible - for example, most children are financially worse off after their parents divorce - but I'm not sure that it is tenable for society to therefore prohibit divorce. As always, things are complicated.) But I will say this. I do think children, on the whole, end up having to put up with a lot due to the selfishness of the adults in their lives. This has been true since time immemorial. And it IS tragic. For every terrific parent out there, there is one that is messing up their child's lives in ways that we, as a society, can really do nothing about.
