I had the rare and distinct oppurtunity to spend my very first major Holiday completely alone and sick with Covid.
Have to say not as bad as I thought it would be. Pretty mellow which was a nice change from all the uncertainty and pain. One down a few left, which of course I am not looking forward too.
I dont have a choice, he already moved on and flew 1500 miles away to celebrate Thanksgiving with his AP family, in which they do not know he is still married with kids. He lied to to his adult children and said that he was too sick to spend the holiday together, they have no idea he is with her and her kids during this holiday.
Ughhhh... Do I tell his kids?
7+ years married
10+ together
No children together
Raised his 2 youngest

Strength to you and best of luck with COVID19. I hope your case is mild and you return to health soon.
I would not protect my WS from the truth. Your adult children deserve the truth. If he lied to his children about Thanksgiving you have the opportunity to give them honesty.
Get well soon.
Never bother with things in your rearview mirror. Your best days are on the road in front of you.

Oh, so sorry you are sick. Please take care of yourself.
And to answer your question, I agree that adult children have a right… And most likely will want to exercise that right to know the truth. I’m not sure if I would call them for the express purpose of telling them that he is lying. But if it came up, I would not protect him.
Lots and lots of get well wishes!!!!

I wouldn't bring it up but in casual conversation if they bring up that he was sick, I wouldn't be adverse to saying - Sick? no - he wasn't sick - I heard he flew out to xyc city to have Thanksgiving with AP. I could be wrong - I don't keep track. But I don't think he was sick.
