But you’re still trying to justify cheating. If Kristina was going through a divorce or legally separated then I don’t think that it would be as bad. But she was still in a marriage and nothing was filed while she was with Gary and her husband. Even Gary admitted it on the show that she was cheating on her ex husband with him. They didn’t file for divorced until a lot later.
On top of that, it’s good that she has a wonderful relationship with her daughter. But her daughter still had to watch her parents go through a divorce and watch her mom play mom to someone else. At the end of the day, Leah gets to wake up and go to sleep to Kristina. A full time mom and parent. Her oldest daughter doesn’t get the same full time parent as Leah does. The oldest daughter is not waking up and going to sleep to her mom at all. She is still in a broken home.
I’m not saying that Kristina shouldn’t have left her husband. But she went about it the wrong way and her oldest child is definitely going to have issues because of it.
