There is a lot more to the story that I won't share here for privacy reasons, but there is no doubt with anyone in my son's mental health team that his issues were 100% directly related to how his father handled his affair, the divorce, and subsequent blending of families with the AP.  Sorry, but cheating impacts the kids.  It just does, full stop.  So does divorce.  Pretending otherwise is denial.

Ana Nogales is the leading researcher on the impact of infidelity on children.  I can't link her entire book here, obviously, but here are some highlights.
