Question: 

My children, ages 20, 17, and 15, know about my husband’s affairs and their relationship are now strained. How do I explain the pain I’m going through, from the betrayal trauma my husband caused, to my children? My emotions are going "sideways" and everything is a trigger, especially when my kids are disrespecting me.
