[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - i understand what you're saying, you are not responsible for your mothers happiness, you should not need to carry the emotional burden of something that happened when you were a child, and you should be allowed to have a relationship with your father and his family whether or not he has done something awful to your mother.  People aren't all good or all bad.  I don't have any advice to you other than don't let the unproductive posters get to you.  [b]They are the bitter women whose husbands cheated on them that are currently wrecking their own children with that emotional weight.[/b][/quote]

That's quite a generalization about people who have empathy for someone who was treated very badly. Perhaps you identify more with the OW/stepmother. Okay. Doesn't mean other posters are bitter women with husbands who cheated. [/quote]

Nope - cheated on wife, that would NEVER burden my children with my ex's and my problems or in any way want to complicate her life, deprive her of a part of her family if she chooses to maintain a relationship with them.  Kids (even adult ones) should not have to pick sides or teams, and they definitely shouldn't hear the person that contributed half of their DNA and created their life be trashed.  Its up to them to make their own call about their dad and I don't want them to pay for his sins.  THEY'RE YOUR CHILDREN, THEY ARE NOT YOUR CARETAKER OR FRIEND. use your friends or therapist for vent sessions - you can vent all you want and deserve all the empathy in the world, but not from your child at their expense.  What's wrong with you people[/quote]
