[quote=Anonymous]My parents got divorced when I was 11. My mom got remarried a few months later. Even as a kid I was smart enough to put two and two together. I saw a therapist as a young adult and worked through my resentment. Yes, having an affair is always wrong. But also, there were issues within the marriage that were none of my business. Holding onto bitterness and resentment wasn't serving any purpose. I wasn't going to throw away a relationship with my mom because she made a bad decision. She and my stepdad have been happily married for 35 years. Perhaps I would feel differently if she threw away her marriage on a fling. My stepbrothers were in high school when their dad married my mom. They have never forgiven them. One of them has been estranged for over ten years and the other only sees his dad a few times a year despite living 15 minutes away. Your feelings are valid. No one else can tell you what to do. You just have to make a decision you can live with. [/quote]
