Mark,
What do I tell my kids about what has happened? They are confused and are asking. I've only said, "Mom has done some things that she shouldn't have done. These things have caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people".
I'm thinking it's time they know.

I've read thru the links you posted under your (Mark's) thread: Musing From Mark. Links that I found helpful.Those links helped tremendously. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I've told my children the truth of the matter, and at an age approriate level as advised by all. I agree with not keeping them in the dark. This wasn't their choice nor should they have to live in/under/around/through a WS's bad choices. They deserve better. I don't want them to live in this lie any longer. Thanks again. BoB.

Bob,
I don't mean to ignore you. I just forget to check anything not in the active topics list most of the time.
Glad the links helped. I thankfully didn't have the problem of trying to figure out how to tell the kids. Our youngest is 21 and he was figuring it out at the same time I was. I didn't share all my evidence with him, but he pretty much knew what Mom was doing...and boy was he p'd off about it. It still colors their relationship today.

Mark,
Thanks. We all get busy. We all have things to do. There are many here that need help and advice. No offense taken. Where in Illinois? PM me if you want to disclose.
Thanks.

Bob,
Email me. Addy is in my profile.
Include Marriage Builders or something like it in the subject line so I don't miss it.
Mark
