Long story. American, have two kids, share custody with their American dad. Youngest is 7, when she's 18 I can go where I like with my second husband (who is Dutch and a member here).

Oh and I work and currently hold the benefits etc!

Cockney rhyming slang -- "septic tank" = "yank." Of course, it's not a flattering term, but it could have been worse, I guess..... "useless wank" .... the possibilities are endless.
