[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people who cut their parent off after an affair, I certainly hope there was more to it that than. Christ, my mom cheated on my dad when I was in college. They got divorced and life goes on. Grow the F up people. [/quote]

Yes, life goes on. And that life is better off lived without an immoral cheating rat in it.

I despised my father for cheating [i]even more[/I] after I had kids than I did before.[/quote]

I  disagree and think pp.here is probably the only healthy adult. [b]Carrying grudges only hurts you. [/b]Period. I've lived it too. My parent is flawed, in some ways deeply, but also not a cartoon villain that is so easy to cut out of my life. I didn't need extensive counseling to get there either.  I'd  wager that those who are so vehement on this thread have other personal issues they bring to their effed up relationships beside having a cheating parent, but it's much easier to just blame that on the parent.[/quote]

Nope. Interacting with toxic narcissists is what hurts you. Avoiding them is the proper policy.

I am one of five siblings. Three of us refused to have anything to do with him after he divorced our mom. One of them still interacts with him and is pretty much in denial about what an asshole he is. The other one tried to have a relationship with him but gave up in disgust because he remains such an unrepentant tool. His first comment to this sibling of mine, when meeting my sibling for the first time in over 10 years, was a derisive remark about our mom, who he cheated on. If he'd said that to me, I would have punched him in the face, so it's really better for both of us that I never see him.

Right now the vote 4-1 that cutting off our jerk of a father is the way to go in order to preserve our mental and emotional health. I think the majority opinion is right.[/quote]
