[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't find out about my dad's infidelities until I was in my 30"s. I know my mom knew but never knew how bad it actually was. My mom never told us. We actually found because there was a lot of putting two and two together once I was grown up enough to see the full picture. My point is you shouldn't tell them. Like in my situation they will most likely see through the BS at some point. [b] I thank my mom for not burdening us with that when we were still young.[/b][/quote] I think this is key: children shouldn't have to be burdened with one parent's failings and the other's anger, pain and bitterness. As they grow older they'll figure it out and when they ask you can answer in an age-appropriate fashion. If you want to tell them to make YOURSELF feel better you need to step back and reconsider your motivations. [/quote]
