Crystal asked me this morning why so many people choose to assume the worst about Michael Shiavo. My answer was that I suspected some people, on both sides of the issue, were forming their opinions of his motivation based on personal experience -- including past (and present) relationships and marriages. I told her I believed the husband mainly because I know that I would battle to honor her wishes and give her peace. And I know she would do the same for me.
I also said that as our kids get older and start having serious relationships, I might start to agree with Terri's parents' point of view. I already feel that no man will be good enough for my Caitlin, so how would I respond to this situation if it were my daughter? I cannot say. But I freely admit that I would analyze my son-in-law's every move looking for hidden agendas.
