[quote=Anonymous]Ehh, I'm in the unusual spot that my Mom cheated.  And actually left home to be with those guy(s) ... when I was like little-- in and out of my life from when I was 6-10.  My parents eventually reconciled when my Mom realized she wasn't going to get any spousal support and would only see my brother and I on weekends.  My parents are actually coming up on their 50th wedding anniversary this summer, so it all "worked out".  I had a lot of anger towards my Mom when I was younger, but it's turned to mostly sadness now that I've had my own kids.  I, for the life of me, cannot FATHOM either one of my boys (they are 2 and 4) being in elementary school and my wants and desires outweighing their need of a mom at home.  My Dad is kind of, dull... but certainly not abusive/hard to live with, etc.  A hardworker and very kind (obviously, since he took that cheatin hoe bag back - lol) so it wasn't like there was another side to the story that I'm missing.  They married VERY young (like 19) and my Mom always said she was "sowing her wild oats".  Like I said, everyone makes mistakes but I just can't imagine intentionally hurting my kids like she hurt me.  It just breaks my heart to think that so many of my issues with trust and relationships (and even food to a certain extent, as I used it as a comfort) could have been entirely avoided had she not been interested in feeling good or happier or whatever.[/quote]
