    - nah - it's okay. -- nm - Diva Sep 26, 13:45
- I understand why she wouldn't want to tell them but her bigger problem is that her son has a blindspot for his miserable father. -- nm - David Sep 26, 13:42 14
  - kids don't want to believe badness about their parents, even if they're absent. - b. Sep 26, 13:59

        but apparently it didn't bother her until the mistress got knocked up? what? -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 13:53 2
        
        she probably got the old "i'll change, i'll never do it again" song and dance, and bought it. -- nm - kare Sep 26, 13:57
        
        and... - znufrii Sep 26, 13:55
