Yes, it does. My kids have grown through this too. The girls don't seem nearly as effected as the boys. The girls struggle with half love/half hate with their dad. They dislike his new wife(his affair partner) and dislike that their dad made them go to the wedding as they planned it on his weekend.

The boys struggle with their dad cheating and watching him sneak out to make calls or send emails on my computer. They have decided to not do much with him except for a couple of hours each week. When s15 struggles in school( this has effected him the hardest), his dad hops on the computer and acts like a concerned parent.

It is hard helping all of us deal with all of this and I have my own moments where I just have to get it out. Had one of those tonight darn it. I know we are all going to be just fine. We are all so much better than we were 4 years ago when this all started.

Sorry for the hijack. Kat
