Mimi, Tygab,
My Ex wasn't an only child but might as well have been. His brother/sister were more than 10 years older, plus he was sent away from home to prep schools since he was 12. With what parents/psychologists know about child development these days, I don't think people would do this anymore. Back then they just didn't know any better.

Side note: When some people bemoan the "good ol' days" they always seem to conveniently forget the amount of ignorance (and racism, sexism, homophobia etc) we had to overcome. We still have a long way to go, but Forums like this are so valuable in spreading information and understanding.
