The Parents Who Cheat Workshop will explore how children and adult children are impacted by their parents' infidelity, a topic that largely has been ignored in both the mainstream media and professional literature.
Dr. Ana Nogales will present the findings of her Parents Who Cheat Survey, which includes the responses of nearly 1,000 adult children whose parents were unfaithful. Workshop participants will learn about the six core responses to parental infidelity: loss of trust; shame; confusion about the meaning of marriage; anger and ambivalence toward the betraying parent; resentment toward the betrayed parent; and "acting out." Gender differences with regard to a child or adult child's responses to parental infidelity will also be explored.
