yes, dfb, it breaks my heart for S....he loves his dad soooo much (as all kids do) and is such an incredibly bright and intiuitive kid, that he picks up on way too much.




It seems like he does - probably more than he should, though I think at least he realizes that his dads behavior is wrong. In some cases, kids see what their parents do and mimic it through their lives. It's a delicate situation, because you want your son to have his dad as much as possible, but you don't want him to think that cheating is acceptable.

I hope that your H comes around soon - not only for your sake, but your sons. He really needs his dad (or a father figure) figuring prominently in his life.
