Peggy is the author of The Monogamy Myth. She is the original founder of our boards. She is considered by most of us to be THE expert. She lived our pain, and she is one of us.

I suggest checking her website and reading all of her wisdom. Every Monday she has a new question of the week.

Please also check out our other healing links on the left.

All of this is just more of why A's are so devistating.

My H had a child with OW #1 before I knew him. She hide the pregnancy until she was married to someone else. Her H knew the child wasn't his but was willing to raise her as if she was. When they divorced all bets were off. Her H told the girl she wasn't his daughter and mom came looking for the real Dad of her daughter.

I would've accepted her and her daughter if all she wanted was a dad but she wanted a husband too. I had to cut them off for a while. Fortunately, they moved to England. So it is safe to have some contact. We are in e-mail and phone contact with the girl now.

I know she hurts but it couldn't be any other way. I had 3 kids and my marriage to think about at the time.

I don't feel guilty for it because it wasn't my actions that created this situation.
