That's good!
Quote From: rokeishaI couldn't agree more. I do not know the first wife and will not say anything negative about her. I do know the new wife and I can assure you that she refuses to allow any negative discussions concerning the ex wife around the children. I also know that she has always said that the ex wife wife has always been a good mother.
Hopefully they will all find a way to put this behind them and work really hard to get along for the children's sake. That's very good and wise for the new wife to know how important it is to never allow anything negative to be said about the children's mother. As a new wife myself, 21 years ago, I would have rather cut my tongue off before I slandered my step kids mother in front of them. My husband also refused to say anything bad about their mother, ever! Granted our's was a different situation then the one on the show but anytime you marry a man with an ex wife and kids you are walking into a mine field. There are rules that must be followed if you ever hope to have a relationship with your step kids, or at the very least have enough respect for them as to not hurt them. Having an affair with the ex is taking the whole situation to an entirely new level, an explosive one. It's truly selfish on the biological parents part to set something like this in motion. If they planned on getting back together maybe, just maybe it would be different but if that's the case, then why did they get divorced in the first place? What a mess people can make! BTW, I hope the new wife is doing OK, I don't know how well I would have held up over this.
