Daughter reaping the results of her father's wrongdoing... Absurd?

Tweet

Can it be possible that a daughter will reap the results of her fathers sin? A lady friend of ours just came home from the middle east after a year of working as a nurse. Not long after her arrival, all her excitements went down the drain after discovering that her husband was living with another woman with whom he bore a son. What made things worse was that she also found out that most of the money she was sending home were spent for this other woman. As expected, there was a heated confrontation and the husband though admitting his fault has the guts to say that this happened because the wife's father also did the same to her mother. Does the husband the right to say this? Is it possible that that can also be a contributory factor to the mess they are in. I think that is an absurd idea and that doesn't in anyway leassen the gravity of the husband's offense. This is more like adding insult to the injury already done. I think there was no real admission of wrongdoing and guilt. Do you agree?
