There aren t the choices here. Barb first went on the Internet to find out what her teenaged children were looking at. She found the IRC chat rooms. I discovered a lot of things in there. There s lots of jerks playing silly mind games, but it s amazing how many people there are my age and mentality, who are social beings.
People talk about themselves openly and frankly.
After a while you want to meet those people. The social being on the Internet she started talking with spoke of matters her husband of two decades never had, personal matters of the heart. I fell in love in there, she says with a small shrug. I m not an impetuous person, but when you feel something click, it takes over. Last winter, she left her family and moved thousands of kilometres to the south to start a new life with her lover.
