But I knew one thing for certain: No matter how angry or upset this affair made me, I’d never tell our three kids.” Give it a read. Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor [Read More](%2F%2Fwww.scarymommy.com%2Flifestyle%2Fmy-spouse-cheated-but-ill-never-tell-my-kids%3Futm_campaign=40737%26utm_medium=scaryMommyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=33bffe7e-9403-4594-a37e-5a45d2b75c10/3/01000183f73ff6af-d21a90f1-8f99-4c90-b384-54439b697996-000000/j23c6IB2HfceJ6sEqiXE8Xm7qrE=292) %2F%2Fwww.unicefusa.org%2Ftrick-or-treat%3Futm_campaign=20221001_TOT%26utm_medium=Display%26utm_source=BDG%26utm_term=QRScan%26ms=Display_TOT_2022_TOT_20221001_BDG_QRScan_delve_none%26initialms=Display_TOT_2022_TOT_20221001_BDG_QRScan_delve_none%26dclid=CMCq_c-S7_oCFTndEQgdikcCyg%26utm_session=33bffe7e-9403-4594-a37e-5a45d2b75c10/1/01000183f73ff6af-d21a90f1-8f99-4c90-b384-54439b697996-000000/bhJxqSi9CbHsGXggJIZcPmSOpPo=292 [Latest] [Latest] %2F%2Fwww.scarymommy.com%2Fpregnancy%2Fdiastasis-recti-symptoms%3Futm_campaign=40737%26utm_medium=scaryMommyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=33bffe7e-9403-4594-a37e-5a45d2b75c10/1/01000183f73ff6af-d21a90f1-8f99-4c90-b384-54439b697996-000000/x1B6EmllfsiG4zzIUGUj3urZSr8=292 EXPERT ADVICE [How Can You Tell If You Have Diastasis Recti?

Get creative with how and where you raise awareness and funds, whether it's with your community groups, at Halloween parties or fall events.
