[quote=Anonymous]When I was about  ( I found some child support payment stuff. In my head at the time  I played it off that it was related to my older sublings (  our parents had been divorced but remarried) I know it doesn't make sense but it was how I processed it at the time. When I was 14 my parents told me and my younger sibling the truth that my dad had outside kids and had cheated on my mom. He cheated on her througout the marriage and as I got older I noticed things like random calls from the AP trying to contact dad and upset my mom.

It was a mess.. I was initially bery angry at my dad.  We had a complicated relationship largely about other things, I wish we had been able to talk more  beffore he died.

As I've gotten older I can kind of understand why he did it he had a messed up childhood and despite his bravado low self esteem, and  my mother is a difficult person , in many ways she's like a child and I can see how you wouldn't be attracted to someone who hadn't matured beyonf maybe 15 when you are in your 30s. I also think they married way to youn at barely 20, None of that makes cheating okay, but it's not as black and white as it use to be for me.

Rightly or wrongy I think it prevente me from having A Disney Princess view of relationships.[/quote]
