I've move a couple times, and finding a place and financing, etc can be extremely stressful. I'm sure moving to a new city, googling the safest neighborhoods (or getting the player agent to do so) and buying in cash is less stressful.
Again, I don't feel sorry for them any more than an army wife, or the wife of anyone who travels for work.

Jane was not looking for sympathy in the article, i think she just tried to write an entertaining column and its typical of what she writes. She has columns like "tales from the dating trenches" and so on. Its mostly first hand stuff from her life and nice mix to the serious writing in the National Post. If I would not see that in the NP i would never come across such information.
I have no issues with what she wrote and although its a catchy headline, I don't think it ever came close to "killing" her.
