[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD14 read her mom's diary and told me.  It's been a tough few years.[/quote]

That's horrible[/quote]

Thanks.  We are still trying to work on our marriage, but of course DD told a few of her friends so basically our whole circle knows, as well as her AP's wife and children.  In a way that makes it easier.  But DD and DW have really struggled to get along.  I never though I'd use the words "moral authority" as it sounds so old fashioned, but when you do something really bad and the kids know, it becomes very hard to be a parent.  DD is really disrespectful of DW and when they fight, it's awful.  I don't really know what to do, some bells you just can't unring.[/quote]

Honestly, there is nothing to do.  Trust is earned, but cheaters tend to think they are owed it.

The best you can do is teach your daughter to treat the DW with the same amount of respect given to any stranger on the streeet. Beyond that, your DD should know that it is OK to disengage from the DW and just retreat to a private space like her bedroom.  [/quote]
