10 years after the OC was born that woman worked under poor Maria's
roof. I am crying for her and her children.

Mods please don't move this thread. It is absolutely relevant to this forum.

I am so badly triggered by this story. UGH!

Faithful,

It is extremely vulgar. To have had this OW in his home with his PG wife delivering at the same time. To have kept her there, interacting with his wife and COM for ten years or longer. The wife and COM have been betrayed by him and OW so many times over. I look back to the feelings that obsessed me when I first found MB's. For the COM their entire lives have been a farce. They can't believe anything their father has ever said or done. For Maria, any positive point in their relationship in the last 13 years is now null and void. What a complete waste of all that could have been good, for a piece of disease.

Nightmares for the past few days. Been waking 2-3 hours before the alarm and not going back to sleep.

I hurt again....triggers hoover.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

My deepest sympathies for all of you wonderful folks so badly triggered by Arnold's foolishness and wickedness.

I'm not defending Arnold, but it is my understanding that the OC is roughly 14, and that Maria has known about it for about 10 years.

What is really puzzling, is the woman in question worked for them for another 14 years before "retiring" this year. One has to wonder what the arrangement really was.

Very disappointed in Arnold, but cannot say I am surprised. When it comes to politics and Hollywood folks, little can surprise me.

that's one of the things that has me puzzled also.

If she worked for them for 14 years and lived in the family home, what was the relationship between the oc and com?

Your right JL i'm not surprised by this either with the morality of the entertainment (and that includes politics) industry. they change partners, wives and husbands like i change my oil.

what's disappointing is you tend to find those who you think have the character to avoid these traps. and he was one of my finds
