We're a big, loving, Italian family and we opened our hearts and our arms to him and he was our brother from day one.

None of us wanted to believe it as it unfolded. We all crossed the line at different times. There was tension and arguments and there was stress.

As far as we knew, it was a normal marriage with normal issues and nothing out of the ordinary.

We see a lot of older baby boomers selling their family homes and buying two smaller residences, one typically where they live and one in a warmer climate.

One thing I've found that is very important is that they now have broadband they can talk to their family over the Internet.

I tried to become a family man. I got married, but it didn't work out. After 22 months we got an annulment. Then I married an Italian girl, which resulted in an immediate annulment. I had two annulments by the time I was 23.
