8, I too don't understand how they can't see what they are doing to the kids. My H told me it wasn't about them that he would always love and take care of them. I do believe that, but it does tear them apart. Everything I have read says that the kids never fully get over it. It doesn't give them much faith in the relationship department, does it? My girls love their dad with all their heart, but are so disappointed in him as I'm sure that your kids are. It hurts them so bad. It effects their lives too. But our spouses either can't see that or choose not to. I do try reassure them that he will always love them.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
