[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a pro telling person and I told my kids.  It’s complicated and part of the reason was that my older son knew the affair partner from when she was daddy’s admin assistant, and we used to see them at work events, etc.  He did the math and figured it out.

I’ve posted about it in the special concerns forum before, but very long story short, it really messed him up. Once they moved in together and started blending families, he had a huge mental breakdown that led to multiple hospitalizations, and he’s barely on speaking terms with his dad at this point.

On the flip side, we have another child a few years younger who knows the same set of facts who is doing very well.  He’s had no issues with the blended family, his relationship with his dad is really strong, and he’s truly thriving.

Ex and I are fine- no drama, coparent effectively, etc. [/quote]

I’m so sorry to hear about your older child.  I hope he is doing better now.

Cheating is crap.  Cheating and staying with the AP is truly next level though.  I can’t imagine.[/quote]
