[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was not a long time family friend.  Any play dates our kids had were part of much larger groups, so it isn't like they used to know me as a neighbor who is now their mom.  At most,  they remember me as someone their dad works with.

I have been to therapy related to my own divorce and I know it's best not to share adult information with kids.  The kids have no business knowing about the sex lives of their parents.  There are two sides to every story,  and I'm honestly just trying to protect my kids from having their step brother from  spew whatever version of the truth his mother has planted in his head.  This isn't about me.
 This is about protecting three young children from being exposed to misleading, inappropriate,  and one-sided information that they are way too young to understand and process.

Take your feelings for me out of this scenario and please focus on how I can prevent the dysfunction that the step kids are dealing with from spreading to my kids.  Mine are adjusting well and have accepted the divorce.   [/quote]

I can understand you don’t want your kids to find out you are home-wrecking whore and your DH is a cheating ass. The older kids already know and your kids will learn the truth one day. Own it. Let the truth come out. I am sure you both were unhappy in your marriage, found a spark, etc but what you didn’t have  was the moral character to divorce and then seek out a life partner or the consideration of your kids to wait for them to adjust to the divorce before foisting a new step parent and siblings on them. The only thing that would make this worse is if you decide to have a new baby with your new husband.[/quote]
