Wow... sorry to hear about the sitch. Yeah.. hate to say it, but that's more than likely a PA. Sounds like you are holding up well... I'll let others weigh in on the kids confronting her. What have you told/said to them about it?

The lying is the most difficult part. I don't know.. even confronting her will not solve anything.

Have you read anything on the subject? I just started reading a book "Not Just Friends" might be a good read for you. Basically explains the stages of affairs etc.

I've just started, and it's already hit home for me.

I confronted and did all the wrong stuff. Now I'm stuck with a W with a BF. Not sure how to get out of it.. not sure I want out of it.

Anyway.. this is the best forum to be on. Sorry you have to be.
