[quote=Anonymous]My father was a serial cheater for the entire duration of his 50 year marriage to my mother. My mother tolerated it for a variety of social, religious and economic reasons. One of my siblings knew about one of the affairs and was expected to keep it a secret from my siblings and me until my father died 30 years later. She did and I sometimes wonder if her cardiac issues are linked in part to the stress of carrying that secret/lie. Our family was like a television show---we had roles with no actual emotional connection--and lots of emotional abuse. I am in middle age now and feeling my mortality. I chose years ago for health reasons to estrange myself from my mother. I gave up the fantasy that my family was fractured long before I ever came along and so it would never be able to be healed or fixed. Humans. :roll: [/quote]
