[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with 14:57. I knew as a child that part of the reason for my parents' divorce was my mother's infidelity. It angered me for a long time. Not because it led to divorce, but because I couldn't see how she could stand to hurt my dad. When I got older, I found out much more about her childhood, which was very bad. As an adult, I understand. I'm sure she's not proud of it, I'm sure she regrets hurting my father. But she was young, with 2 young children, and a husband who was gone all the time with the military, and for long periods of time at that. She had no support system such as a mother or family members, and no framework for what a "normal" family behaved like. I can see, as a thinking human being with some empathy, why she might have done what she did. I don't judge her. I feel sorry for the person she was, and I think her choices have hurt her deeply for many years. [/quote]

I generally do judge, but military wives are an exception. Being out in the field, I wouldn't be surprised if your dad had stepped out too. Long term deployments are rough.[/quote]
