Malone --

I know that his behavior was obvious and public and would have gotten around anyway. But, I do think the message my children would have gotten by my having been more private would have been valuable.

They still love their Dad so every one of my negative comments wounded them. They didn't need that from their Mom. They could have seen me handle it with strength and dignity and good boundaries - just not the occasional snide comment.

Believe me, the dirt is gonna be out there -- I just don't want to be the one dishing it.
