[post_page_title]Family ties[/post_page_title]
This part of Melanie’s letter illustrates one of the most complicated aspects of the affair. If one of the people in the affair already has a family, and the affair results in the parents breaking up, then the parent that does not get custody still has to be a part of their kids’ lives.
Even if you break up because of an affair, you can’t simply cut and run on the situation you’ve left behind – the ties you formed still remain, and tend to prove persistent.
