I don't see any humor here. I know there is no malintent in the statement, and this isn't intended to criticize, but someone who says there is no reason he should have a problem with his children, he didn't cheat on them just doesn't understand. The words are easy to say, but the effects on the child often are never overcome. He, in fact, did cheat on them. If a person decides to move on, it is a bit less traumatic if he goes ahead and gets a divorce without another person in the picture. One of the saddest situations I ever saw was when a young relative of mine found out that her father was cheating on her mother. Her brother took it more with anger, but then he was 18 and probably being more "manly," but she was crushed. I think the time may come when they will speak to him again--at least for their benefit I hope so--but he will never be able to undo what he did to them and I don't believe he'll ever be able to restore the relationships that they had. I feel the same about this governor. Some things can't be undone. I can't imagine how I'd feel if my own father had ever done anything like that. He didn't and it feels good to me today to know that I had a faithful father as my heritage, even though he's long gone to his reward. I hope every man here will resolve to give their own kids that kind of heritage. It really makes a difference.
