My name is Allison. After infidelity occurred in my own life, as part of my coping process I decided to earn my PhD in communication. Specifically, I have spent years examining the communication surrounding infidelity and how parents talk to their children about this event.
With the permission of the truthaboutdeception.com, I am posting a link to a survey on this forum and I ask that anyone who understands the importance of the communication surrounding parental infidelity to help.
