[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of the reason for the divorce, I simply don't understand why a one-sentence truthful answer is a problem for children. I divorced your mom because she was lying to me about purchases and draining our bank account and I  couldn't get her to be truthful to me. I divorced your dad because he was an alcoholic and when he drank he became violent with me. I divorced your mom because while at work she was having an affair for years with the neighbor and is now going to marry him. I get not making the person out to be all bad and going on and on about it, but I don't understand lying or complete avoidance.[/quote]

Of course this is the correct approach. These bizarre “we grew apart” liars are deluding themselves. [/quote]

No, we're putting our kids first and protecting them from grownup issues they are not developmentally equipped to understand. Your willingness to hurt them for no good reason at all speaks volumes about your selfishness. [/quote]

Why can’t the cheater put their kids first and not cheat?[/quote]

False equivalency. [/quote]

Could you explain why it’s false equivalency? [/quote]
