Wrong. You are thinking like the wicked stepmother. No wonder kids hate their stepparents if they think like you.[/quote]
Expecting a second wife to be kind and welcoming to a child from the first marriage is very different from expecting a wife to be kind and welcoming to a child her husband fathered in infidelity while married to her. [/quote]

The thing about you, angry PP, is that you aren't just saying that the ability to forgive this would be beyond you. I would get that. Understand it. It's reasonable, this would be a really hard thing to get over. And if you are choosing between treating an innocent child like dirt or not ever talking to them then certainly pick the latter. But you also seem viscerally against the idea that there could be women out there who got just as angry at the betrayal, but chose a different path to try to be the most beneficial to the children.

Not everyone is like you. That's ok. I certainly have my own flaws and weaknesses, but I don't act like anyone else strong enough to overcome those weaknesses is full of it. [/quote]

Different PP. I could actually do it. But I will not.

If my husband fathered a child due to infidelity, I will have zero anger or bitterness towards the child. If my husband was gone(in prison or killed by a truck while having sex on the road or something) and its mother gone, I could probably raise the child as if I was raising a friend's child. Absolutely.

The problem for me would be keeping the husband.[/quote]
