Parents Who Cheat

I am conducting a confidential survey to evaluate the effects of parental infidelity on adult children. If either (or both) of your parents was ever unfaithful, I am inviting you to participate in this study by answering a list of questions. Otherwise, please disregard this invitation or email it to someone else whose parent(s) may have been unfaithful. The results of this survey were already published in a book "Parents Who Cheat: How Infidelity Affects Children and Adults". However, I keep collecting more data for further discussion.

Thank you for your participation.

Sincerely,

Ana Ledwin Nogales, Ph.D.
