[quote=Anonymous]If the kids will be present at any of these family gatherings, then the AP shouldn’t be there. That part is a no-brainer. My family almost went through this with my brother, but he and my SIL reconciled (my brother did give up his AP and worked on the marriage). I wondered many times how I would handle such a scenario because I’m very close with my SIL and we really raised our kids side by side. She is also such a lovely person. I realized that I couldn’t pretend everything was okay, and that this AP’a presence wasn’t a trauma for our family. I couldn’t pretend we weren’t experiencing loss and pain and yes, anger. I love my brother, flawed as he is but that would would not extend to the AP. I’m a polite person and would be respectful but there would be no close relationship. I would also be honest about how difficult it all was — no pretending. Fortunately, my brother cane to his senses.[/quote]
