Venting My father is cheating

[onelastsnack]

There is no real purpose for this post. I just wanted to scream this out somewhere.

I encountered concrete evidence that my father is cheating. I found my father's texts and the contents were expected. I already had an idea that this kind of thing was going on. I didn't really have any expectations for him but seeing it all in person still made me feel sick. Disgusted. Nauseous.

It's like studying for an exam for weeks upon weeks, being certain of the material that will be presented. But the moment you are actually handed the exam and gaze your eyes upon it for the first time, you just blank out. You already know the material and you fully understand how to approach it. Even so, your fingers are resistant to any movement all of a sudden. You are stuck frozen in time as a thousand thoughts run through your head.

I don't know. Writing my thoughts won't change anything. But it helps me cope so why not?

I feel sick. I feel like throwing up. But most of all, I feel terrible for my mother. I'm sure she already knows as well. It's nothing new, really, but it is still sickening to witness.

I'm not really sure where this post should belong but putting this in recovery or off-topic seems really inappropriate considering how heavy this topic might be.

hope you feel better hun. going thru the same thing w my dad. it's shitty as fuck but over time i got used to the fact that men like that r just stupid and selfish as fuck. the fact that you feel like this about it shows that you at least know it's wrong, meaning you're taking a step in the right direction <3

My dad had a decades-long affair with his brother's wife. I found out when I was 13 after overhearing a phone call between them. It fucked me up and ruined our family irreparably. Cheating parents are sickening and put their own sexual pleasure above the wellbeing of their entire family. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Remember that there's more to your family than your dad, and try to stick together and support each other through this <3

I don't understand. My dad did the same. Very casual cheating with a lot of women on the side. We all looked up to him, but we didn't know the truth. One day the world came crashing down when one of these women called my mother. That's how she found out. That's how we found out.If you're going to be a parent, have some self-control ffs.
