There *may* be people who can enjoy SL as an occasional harmless pastime, but there are a lot of others in deep denial about the extent to which it is destroying their real lives and the people who care about them. For those who have dissociative disorders, like my husband, it can trigger other parts of a fragmented personality and give them an outlet to wreak havoc. Almost two years after he left the 25-year-old Australian who tried to break up our marriage, quit SL cold turkey and went into intensive therapy, we are still dealing with the fallout. The only good thing I can say about SL is that it helped him hit rock bottom and it exposed the dissociative identity disorder that had managed to run in stealth-mode for 50 years.
