[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]

There's no way to prevent it. His kids, and family are going to tell your kids everything. My niece and nephew told me how their dad was cheating with his friends wife who is now his wife. She gave us the entire story years ago. Today his wife's only child rarely talks to her, and will not go over there. His kids visit but very seldom. Their childhood was pretty bad and there is still a lot of anger.

If you really want to protect your kids you need to get them out of that situation. My kids come before any man, why I am very close to them. They know who they are count on and trust. Believe me this will go down to the grand-kids. [/quote]
