Infidelity

An open letter to spouses who cheat and the selfish people who convince themselves that it is ok to be with a married person, especially with children......You have carelessly and recklessly altered the course of lives that you had no right to do.  You have damaged relationships and caused countless heartaches that you can not fathom.  You have stolen precious time, memories and events.  You have replaced what should have been happy memories for a family, with pain and tears.  You have yourselves convinced you did nothing wrong and those that you hurt should just get over it despite the daily reminders of the reality of the situation, like waking up in the morning and not having your child there and having those everyday interactive moments that children and parents have when they live in the same household as they should.  What should be family meals and interaction has turned into unreturned phone calls or texts uncertainty about your child's day and events, fighting between you and your child because you just want a few precious moments to connect, and they and the other offending party can't understand the sadness and hurt and confusion that has resulted with this great loss.  There are no apologies and never will be. Time does not always heal wounds.  Sometimes they get worse.
