Shame on You

I don't know the details about Michael Schiavo's relationship and kids, but I guess the man should have just put his life on hold while conservatives trashed him and forced Terry Schiavo to persist in a vegetative state all these years, notwithstanding his view -- and the courts' -- of her wishes. Keeping her alive in a brain-dead condition is clearly more important than letting him live his life. Silly him for not understanding that his role in his was to let Tom DeLay's new pals fuck him up the ass for their own political purposes for all these years.
ETA: If I understand the facts right, she went into a coma in Feb. 1990. He was living with her parents until more than two years later, May 1992. (This alone leads me to question whether he has some brain damage.) He and the parents have a falling out in early 1993. One of the Freepers tells me that he moved in with this other woman two years later in 1995.
I don't know what any of y'all's marriages are like, but my wife and I have been pretty clear with each other that if one of us falls into a persistent vegetative state, the period of time during which the other is expected to cohabit with the in-laws and pine by the bedside instead of getting out there and living one's life is to be less than five years. But then, that's a question of the relationship between husband and wife, and we've pretty much established that conservatives are less interested in protecting the sanctity of that relationship than in telling the rest of us how that relationship and the rest of our lives are to be run.

The Ad Litem report says that her family encouraged him to seek other relationships in those initial years while he was still married to her.
