In general, men need to recognize that when a woman gives up control of caretaking duties, that threatens her identity as a mother more than it adds to his identity as a father. Researchers at the University of Illinois have studied how people see themselves as parents. Men revel in being fathers, and they will rate themselves as excellent dads regardless of how many diapers they change. Not so for women. The culture has told her she's not a real mother unless...

She and her four children, ages 13 to 22, walked for four hours on the main roads, white flags held aloft, to get to the hospital in Tibnine. She is reluctant to tell more of her story because her husband, who is in Kuwait, thinks the family is in Beirut and she doesn't want to worry him. She began to cry, however, as she begged for transportation north. "We just want a car to get out of here to Beirut," she said...
