Infidelity. Betrayal. Cheating. Lies. Deceit. Adultery. What happens when “until death do us part” turns into “I just want to be happy”? Justification can take center stage and have a heyday. When does a friendship, work relationship, or casual online friend get classified as an affair? Sue met up with Doug every day at lunch. […]
Danielle Diebold had no idea she was marrying a man who was a sexual predator. Living in Pennsylvania, Michael Diebold was the police chief, and recognized as a hero.

My daughter was preparing to leave for a weekend away as a kids’ camp leader. It would be the first time she would leave her baby overnight—for two nights—with Dad. All the campers were eagerly gathered with bags and pillows and gear to get on the bus and head up the mountain. Where it was […]
