[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know a family in almost your exact situation.  DH has two kids with DW and another in between from an affair.  Only difference is the half sibling lives several states away.  This happened about 8 years ago and the oldest of the three children is now 13.  DW found out the truth before the half sibling was born.  When the oldest was about 10, DW and DH told their two about the situation in a very honest, age appropriate and simple manner.  I do not know the particulars.  Since then, the half sibling visits during summer and school breaks.  The DW and DH are still married, have moved past the affair and have a happy home life.   Their two kids are not messed up, still love their dad and respect their mom. I attribute this to the parents wanting the best for their kids, acting like responsible adults, acceptance of the half sibling and forgiveness.  I really admire the DW and I admire you and respect your choice as well.  I wish you and your family the best.  [/quote]
