[quote=Anonymous]OP, very sorry to hear about this. My parents separated when I was 14 and my brother 16. It was very hard, despite us being older, because my dad was having an affair, moved right in with OW, and my mom lost it and continues to badmouth my dad 30 years later.... My advice, as hard as this will be: be the rock for your kids. Insist that DW does not move in with AP or introduce or disclose. If she does, you need to convey that her relationship was a sign rather than a cause of the divorce (even if it was) as your kids will have enough to wrestle with. This means swallowing a lot of pride and it seems like giving your DW a pass, but just know that if you can stay calm and keep as much conflict out of the home as possible, this will help your kids--and frankly, you--later on. Good luck. [/quote]
