Dannic perhaps for a moment can you perhaps think or realize some regular people like us who are not famous get upset like this particular thread because as humans we have emotions and feelings and sometimes more then sometimes people like me are very sensitive to certain issues and because I am human and have feelings I feel for the stories. In reality of course I do not know these people personally but again for me personally I feel for the people because of my emotions. Honestly also Dannic I was not in Farrahs shoes and therefore cannot make a true understanding as to why she decided to stay with Ryan . With what Marilynk wrote alot if makes sense and sadly only the person who is in those shoes can decide what they can do. Of course it is always easy to past judgement on these people whether famous or not, but in the end as always life is always about choices, either you do the right thing or the wrong thing and only that person has to deal with it. Again personally I am a very emotional person and can easily get upset and I will be effected when a story likes this occurs. Some people can shrug it off easily I cannot, so to answer you question why so many people care I think that is the reason.. Either way Ryan O'Neal has alot of issues and he seriously needs help and hopefully one day he can make amends with his children, if not then that is sad, but perhaps as he said he was not mean't to be a father and perhaps that is true, either way again for me emotionally that is truly sad... Peace. Catherine
