Jim, When do they if ever get over that guilt then before it's to late.
My W before she left said that if the kids never spoke to her ever again it didn't matter because she was still there mum . If it took 5 or 10 years then so be it and that she would always love them .
This from a loving mother to someone who seemed to completely disconnect from her own kids. I might be mind reading but OM cheated on his ex when they had 3 little kids and wonder if he has been feeding these ideas into her head . That it's ok if you don't see your kids as long as you love them .
Me 40 W 37 Together 22 years S18 D12 WaW 12/08/14 after affair exposed , suspected for several months W returned home for 2 weeks to see if can handle family life After the 2 weeks she has left .
