Children know more about marital relationships than parents often suspect. Although they may not know the details of the affair, they sense the emotional and attitudinal aspects of cheating. They know when a parent is distancing themselves from the family. They know if mom or dad is moodier than usual. They know if the attention being put on them is a front or if it is sincere. When their is trouble in the marriage, they become insecure. The source of their security often rests on the stability of the relationship between their parents. When the parents are not getting along, they know it. They also know if mom or dad is not as fun as they used to be.
The children know when things are not right. They know when the attitudes changee. They know when the love is faked and not sincere.
