A cancer patient isn’t ready to leave their cheating husband, but their kids don’t understand why.
Throughout our marriage my husband has had trysts online and in person. When I became aware of this, I began the process of leaving but then was diagnosed with cancer and my focus completely changed from leaving to surviving.
My children aren’t bitter toward their father but continue to make comments that I should leave and that I need to have some self-respect. Do I continue to ignore these remarks? Or do I have a hard adult conversation with them and explain that even when there is infidelity there can still be love?I am so sorry that you’re going through this complicated time. You deserve care and support. I’m sorry you’re not getting either. It’s time for a conversation with your kids.

The nursery was decorated with wallpaper that had roses as a motif. My daughter loved the design.
