[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ we are saying mom is still with the boyfriend and tweens and teens are not stupid.  They will figure out on their own that she was cheating.

If the kid is younger than Kindergarten they won’t understand.

What also is being said is older kids are persistent about “why”.  Why is the divorce comic out of what seems like the blue to them?

Who cares if they figure it out.  "Why" should be answered with "mom and dad did not get along" and left at that.  When they become adults and have relationships of their own, they can know the full extent of the truth but I'd be careful then too.  [/quote]

They will become liars just like mom.  I’m sorry, but every therapist I’ve talked to says lying is horrible for a teens development into a healthy adult.  But , a teen will lash out at mom when she’s living with the boyfriend after the divorce.

Kids learn lying and cheating is okay when parents continue to lie to them.

They used to lie to kids about death, terminal illness, etc. all the studies out there also have revealed that’s scary and confusing to kids.  They now advocate including them in an age appropriate way.  [/quote]
