I'm four months pregnant. What would people think of me if I didn't get married? And all these people-how would they feel-making them come here and then I say no? What do I do? .".. To have and to hold, so long as you both shall live?" Sigh-"I do".

Oh God, I hope I didn't just make a mistake. Sometimes I wonder how different things would be had I not made that second mistake. The first, well that was having sex outside of marriage. I knew it was wrong, but who knew HOW wrong? I didn't just affect me-it affected my family, his family and the lives of my two children. Sometimes I think they got hurt the worst.

Eight years of marriage. How long did they suffer? How long before I realized what was going on? My daughter was two years old when I decided that maybe another baby would help. So we had our second child, a boy. It didn't help.

There wasn't a lot of arguing. There was no communication, just existence. It was April 1998 when I received the call. One of my former daycare children had made a complaint.

There had been suspicion, but not evidence. They called me in-asked me questions. They asked my children questions. I don't know if we helped. It was June 1999 when he was found guilty of lewd acts with a minor-2 counts. It's been 6 years since I've removed my children from that house.

I still see the negative effects of the mistakes I made. My daughter suffered from emotional stress. For example, for a while we had problems with her seeing imaginary friends. She would watch her two dragons fly around the room or outside of the vehicle. It got to the point where she could even shrink them to fit into her pocket. This way she could take them to class with her.

It became even more serious when she tried to get her brother and two cousins involved in playing with her imaginary dragons. My son, now 11 has certain behaviors that suggest he may have fell prey to his father's sinful actions, which he never would have been subject to if I had not made my own mistakes. He sleeps in his clothes, he's angry and defiant, he's extremely emotional, he has boundary issues, and he's lazy and can be very spiteful. He's manipulative and seems to enjoy pitting not only me against my new husband, but me against his teacher as well. I am not the only one who has paid for my mistakes, my sins. My children are paying for them as well.

How long will my children suffer the consequences of my actions? According to Exodus 34: 7, they will endure the consequences for the rest of their lives. .".. but causing the negative effects of the parents' offenses to be experienced by their children and grandchildren...
