16 years after abandoning family, ex-husband wants to be ‘friends’
A woman says her husband left in 2010 for his boss and later remarried; years later he’s seeking renewed contact that’s upsetting their adult children.
DEAR ABBY: I was married for 39 years to “Morris,” an alcoholic and a spendthrift. In 2010, he announced he was having an affair with his boss, and the next day he moved in with and eventually married her.
I was left filled with anger and resentment, and so were my two grown boys. Eventually, we realized what a toxic environment it had been and accepted hearing from him only twice a year or so.
