...years of age, I am pretty sure that when it comes to marriage, times are a-changing, again. We have watched and now question the new but older mothers around us, mothers who are spending their lives juggling the home and the office, torn between summers on the shore and summers in the shop, and shifting from Blackberry to ballet class. I don’t want this sort of balancing act, and much of my generation seems to agree. Bring on the boys, the vows, and the baby carriages...

"I believe he believes he had all those separate personalities," says Joe Scroppo, a clinical psychologist and director of North Shore University Hospital's Forensic Psychiatry Program in Manhasset, N.Y., "but I don't think that's necessarily the way it is." Studies have suggested that patients can be convinced that they have memories of childhood sexual abuse that never actually occurred.
