I was thinking the other day as I was registering my S for high school that the summer b4 I started high school my dad left my mom for his OW or maybe it was him leaving becuz of OW. He ended up coming back. BUT being as how I was 15 I knew WAY too much about what was going on. I ended up being mad at my dad when he did come home for how he had hurt us. And I was mad at my mom for letting him come home.
I am not saying that any of this applies to you, but speaking from the perspective of a LBChild our kids can be suffering in ways we don't even grasp. My S turns 15 tomorrow and I am already picturing the wish he will prob be making when he blows out his candles, poor kid.
