My reaction would be that a cheating spouse has a right to his or her kids despite actions towards the spouse. Linking the two is never okay and very vindictive. I had a mom who was a good wife but not the best mother figure and a dad who was a great father but not a good husband. I think you can be one and not the other at times.[/quote]

Please read the whole thread before responding to a non-argument.  OP has admitted that she has visitation with her teenage daughters, but that they hate her and each visit is a very uncomfortable tense time as she tries to find a way to connect with her daughters who don't want it.  The victim is not keeping her from her kids; the kids are because they correctly fault her for her actions.  She had an affair, hid it for 2.5 years, when caught, she moved in with her gigolo and has made no effort to address whatever weakness she had that caused her to betray her whole family.  She has no one to blame but herself, but tried vainly to blame the victim.

She should do as he asks and get individual therapy to find out whether she has any remorse and whether she can find some way to make amends to her family, but she isn't willing to do that.  She just wants them to forgive and go back to her old life without any commitment from her.[/quote]
