[quote=Anonymous]My husband's brother did this, and for a long time nobody knew that wife #2 had been the AP.  A few people suspected, but everyone basically kept their mouths shut for the kids' sake.  I don't know if the ex-wife ever knew, or found out later, or what.

Anyway, about 7 or 8 years later, one of the guy's teenage sons somehow found out that it was an affair and all hell broke loose.  Total rejection of his father and the new wife, total rejection of parental authority, breaking all the rules, calling his dad and the new wife liars and cheaters to their face, constantly angry and defiant, disregarding curfews and any other parental rules.  He accused his father of manipulating him into accepting and getting along with wife #2, when he would not have done so had he known the truth about them.  Of course then the other son found out too and behaved similarly, and they have never accepted the new wife after that so family relations are rather strained and it's awkward for everyone.  We're past the time of yelling and outbursts, but things are still unpleasant.

I don't particularly like this guy, so I think he had it coming-- if you teach your children that it's ok to lie and treat others badly, you have it coming when they lie to you.[/quote]
