| I had an affair which was exposed a little over a year ago and ever since my wife and I have been going to marriage counseling. We both agreed to act as normal as possible in front of our 3 kids. Last month my 16 year-old overheard us arguing and found out about the affair and now won't speak to me. I've tried to do one on one things with him and tried to get him to tell me how he's feeling but he refuses to do so. Any ideas on how to get him to open up or should I give him more time? |

You really have no right. He hates you, and with good reason. Give him space. Try to be a decent human from now on and maybe he can forgive you. |

| Have his mother talk to him. He's probably mad at you in defense of her. |

| Have you tried apologizing to him for the jeopardy in which you put his family through your stupendous lack of judgment? |

| You know how he's feeling, hurt, betrayed and furious. You really screwed up. Give it time. |

It's your fault, so....
I feel horrible for your poor kids. Some people don't deserve the privilege of having a family. |

I found out my mother was cheating on my father when I was 21. I pretty much cut her out of my life. She has never met DH or my kids.
My siblings keep in touch with her for money. That's all. |

Was she a horrible mother otherwise? That seems extreme to me. |
