approximately 13 years ago i was very unhappily married with two small children. To cut a long story short I had an affair that ended up with me leaving my then husband and starting a life with this man. I was ready to leave before the affair started but didn't for a variety of stupid reasons. This man and I are now happily married and my kids adore him and he treats them as his own. My ex has also moved on and is also re-married. He knows about the affair (as do a lot of people as i try to be open and upfront about it when appropriate) but our kids don't. At the time they were too young to understand what was happening and now time has just gotten away from me. I know they need to know and i probably should have already told them but im paralyzed with fear of their anger and loss of respect for me and their step dad. I am 100% not proud of how our relationship started (so please there is no need to tell me i should have ended things first etc etc because i KNOW all that already but i cant change the past) but we love each other and our children are our world. I guess what im asking is how should i approach this?
