Not related to infidelity, but I just read a recent article in the paper here..
We have a population of only 120k and we have nearly a thousand homeless teenagers living here (based only off of the registered school stats, this doesn't include those not enrolled in school).
I was stunned. The article reported that many are living in tents and sheds.

CV,
I'm certain some percentage of those children come from homes broken by adultery, especially in these times when the financial costs of divorce are so high. There are good step parents, but the probabilities of a step parent being abusive are so much higher.
God Bless

Same kind of stats in my area. Both a rural and agricultural area. Also, around the same Population.

Gamma Gamma, I agree. Probably a higher percentage than one might think too. It is just a heart-breaking thing. CV
