More than likely about the same.  I'm one of two from a family that had it's own share of discord eventually ending in divorce, although not until I was grown and out of the house.  My parents were of the generation that wouldn't consider divorce until the children had been raised.  Never made a lick of sense to me considering both would have been much happier apart.  As far as being buffeted between two parents, doesn't matter if you're an only child or the eldest of two or three.  I am the eldest and was the sounding board for both my parents about the other.  My brother helped just by being there, but he was often unaware of just how much was going down between my parents because I tried my best to hide it from him.

So, yeah, some very good years and memories I wouldn't give up for the world, but also the same kinds of scars we all have whether we're only children or part of a large family.

Another of my father's favorite jokes:

A couple, both deep into their nineties, appear before a judge seeking a divorce.

"Divorce," he asks, incredulous. "Why now? Why didn't you get divorced years ago?"

The husband replies, "We wanted to wait until the children were dead."

Condolences, JB.

With respect to the Lordship, I thought that, as an American citizen, one would be restricted from inheriting a Title...  Or perhaps that is just being knighted...  Dunno.

Am I off here?

Not inheriting. But an American citizen cannot be granted a title.

Outside of the occasional chuckle, I have no plans on using it, anyway!

Yes. Dad was the Canadian Government official who brought Mac Hudson "into the fold" in ALPHA FLIGHT.
