Maybe it was just timing or maybe he knew she was having her last day on this earth and thought it was important for his dad to know to forgive her or something along those lines.

What I really think is he didn't tell his Dad till after her death, like a normal son would and the attorney they hired came up with the bed side confession, similar to a work comp plaintiff attorney sending the claimant to excessive doctor's appointments. It's all about the .

Your scenario reads more like a made-for-TV movie.

Thank you for telling us what "a normal son" would have done and for perpetuating the oh-so-cliché attorney as ambulance chaser mentality.

Regarding what I said about how maaaaybe his actions were related to some sense of letting his dad know so she could die with his forgiveness or without secrets? I mean I really don't know and was just throwing it out there.

I held my sisters hand while she died in October and am forced to relive it every day because my dad has Alzheimer's and calls me demanding to know why I haven't taken him to visit her lately. There are days when I can hardly think straight. My point in going in to that is who knows what life was like for the son. I can't have been easy for him so if and when he chose to tell his dad I would imagine it was a painfully stressful decision.

I'm starting to feel like there are so many reality shows that it's carried over into people getting a sense of entitlement in their voyeurism. Do you know what I mean? That's fine for you to think the way you do ("normal son") but don't act like it's the only possibility here... like you know what's what, I don't and you have to talk down to and correct me.

Strange bringing up reality TV as though Honey Boo Boo and the Swamp people are a source of entitlement but I thought your scenario, (son sobbing) "Dad, I know mom is dying and all but I have to get something off my chest. Mom had sex while in the nursing home" sounds a bit out the norm, almost like a bad soap opera rather than made-for-TV movie.

I wasn't correcting or talking down to you. Simply making an observation. Just as I'm shocked your ex-husband let you get away.
