The Original Poster (OP) is clearly feeling intense emotional distress and betrayal based on their history with their husband's ex-mistress and the resulting child.
The central conflict is the OP's absolute refusal to allow the ex-mistress's son to stay, stemming from the deep pain a*sociated with the affair, while the husband views this refusal as unfair given his commitment to the OP's child from a previous relationship.
Should the OP prioritize the protection of their emotional well-being and maintain firm boundaries against a painful reminder of past in***elity, or is the husband correct that the innocence of the child overrides the history between the parents, creating a moral obligation to help?
