[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If these kids were 7 or 8 I'd have a different answer, but at 10 and 13, you can tell them the truth. If you say, "Mom has a boyfriend and didn't want to be married any longer". I actually think, "Mom cheated on me" is fine. Better to speak the frank truth once, and then focus on being calm and not venting to them in the future. It's always the guilty party that thinks the children shouldn't know the truth[/quote] What? No. Your children are not your BFFs or confidants. Your feelings are not their burden. The details of your relationship are not their burden. Only selfish parents would impose that burden on their kids. OP’s kids already have one selfish parent, their mom. if dad does this, it will truly mess them up. His desire to hurt her by making her look bad to them is not more important than their well-being.[/quote]
