Anyway, this is a long way of saying that in these situations, if its a personality flaw that caused the cheating, the personality flaw will damage the relationship with the kids, and the pain will be in realizing their parent is a piece of crap. And if one parent is a bitter unhappy horrible person who cannot be happy unless their kid supports them, then that is a personality flaw that will damage their relationship with the kid.

Agree on this point.  My ex's cheating was a symptom of bigger problems and he has damaged our kids and his relationship with them due to the underlying problems.  Sure, the kids have a healthy adult who does 95% of the parenting, but I have to spend a good amount of my parenting time comforting them and undoing the harm he does.  Part of me is beyond grateful he's not my burden anymore, but then I just feel guilty that my kids will forever be burdened by him. [/quote]

Same here. He parentifies them to no end. Or ignores them while in shutdown mode. [/quote]
