Mozartmaid, sorry you found it heartbreaking!
Bob, I agree with you. I haven't read very many alt-Clark stories, so I don't have much of a basis of comparison. Alt-Clark's being hen-pecked to the point of not using his powers and becoming a Walter Mitty type character is depressing, but at least he seems to take great joy in his son. Compared to "our" Clark, his life is pretty miserable, but it could be much, much worse.
Joy,
Lynn
