re: Updated** 11/29 8:38am. Cheating and forgiveness

What a nightmare. I think the nephew saw a glimmer of hope that his family could be salvaged and go back to normal. I get it. It's tempting to fall for that trap because he was probably a wreck. His wife (soon-to-be ex) probably missed the kids after deserting them and she probably only wanted to take them with her, and used getting back together as a means to get in the door to do that.

He needs to document everything that happened. He should sue and hopefully win, if the wife truly deserted him with the kids, then he should have custody I'd hope. Hopefully she won't claim domestic abuse or something like that.
