I just found this thread. I had forgotten all about it. A life. The life I was wishing for was a fictional TV illusion fed to the masses. It is possible to achieve? NOT! TV created a false impression of what life "should" be. I grew up thinking life was always fun and that there were no real problems. It created in me a very distorted view of life.
Dads don't leave, Moms don't cry, nothing ever changes. Life is always happy! No one ever fights!

I sometimes wonder if this is the reason for the high divorce rate among the people from my generation--Baby Boomers! Our expectations are way off.

Yeah, when you compare real life to television one always comes away disappointed. With TV you see life one hour. Maybe 1/2 hour and maybe 2 hours. But in real life you see it 24-7, including holidays.

And our 24/7 real lifes don't come with the side comment---and they lived happily ever after, like the other fairy tales
