My two cents here:
I think it's not only ridiculous, but just downright cruel for a guy to just confess to his entire family that his marriage and the very existence of his own children are the result of petty lies, then just dump them after dropping that bomb and call that integrity.
I'm not a fan of 12-step programs, but at least in those making amends is a PROCESS in which people first have to work on their own recovery, then deal with what their addictions have caused.
I started a thread asking about Landmark because I've seen how a friend of mine has changed his ways and not for the good.

I don't care how many people go to Africa to build schools. There's a thing called personal responsibility for those you love. Dropping everything and walking away from people who love you, after telling them "hey, I mislead you and made your life a living hell but I'm responsible now. See ya!", and PAYING MONEY to learn to do so is a horrible thing.
