Hi Tfish. I really believe they say these things to ease their own guilt. I mean, can you imagine the guilt they feel, to tear their families apart and hurt their spouse and children the way they do? It must be overwhelming. So I have learned to not take the backlash personal. They tell themselves whatever makes them feel better about what they are doing, it's an illness, I have seen it my whole life with my mom. Good job encouraging your kids to accept it with love and patience. I told my S similar and it took time but seems to help. He is doing much better with H.

My H responded that he should be more careful with what he says and how.
