[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 11. We lived in a rural sort of town and my parents decided they should rent a small house in a town 2 hours away where there were excellent schools and other opportunities for extracurricular activities. My mother and I lived there and would go home every other weekend. My father would come to us on the other weekends.

One weekend we came home and my father took my mother aside to talk. Within an hour or two she came with red eyes and told me they had decided to separate, she was going back to our home and I was to return on Sunday.

After she left, my father talked to me and explained. He told me he was having an affair with X, a nurse (he was a doctor). Nurse had a fiance.... The affair had been going on for 2 months. He was very excited about it while telling - he had the gal to treat me like his fu...c*#%ing friend (we had a very close relationship), like expecting me to be happy for him or something like that.

I remember crying my heart out and telling him just that. I also remember telling him that I wanted to leave immediately to be with my mother as She needed me. He disagreed and I ended up staying with him the whole miserable weekend. But on that at least he was right because she did need that time alone to try to process things.

She had been completely blindsided. As a married adult with children of my own, I too would have preferred to be left alone for a couple of days under the same circumstances.

She died when I was just shy of 16yr-old and, looking back, I feel so sad for her. She had a miserable, sad life with curveball after curveball being thrown at her from the moment she was born. [/quote]
