[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say anything to my mom but I would confront my dad.  It's reprehensible behavior and it HAS hurt you - it has shattered your trust in men.  Tell him that.  He deserves to know that.  Maybe it would inspire him to change.

The only thing about your mom that might tempt me to tell her if it were my mom is if she gives any hints that he is gas lighting her and she feels crazy.  I thing gas lighting is even more evil than cheating.  It's cruel, intentionally so.  It's possible your mother suspects and is questioning herself.  Knowing the truth might set her free and empower the next stage of her life.  I'm not sure you know her well enough to k know, but that's my 2 cents.[/quote]

THIS.  The first paragraph.

(I don't know what "gas lighting" is so I can't comment on the second paragraph.  After reading the "how do you pronounce pajamas" thread and taking the test, I think it's a regional term.)

You know, the STD thing is a big deal.  Especially if he's going out with escorts.  IF you think you should tell your mom, one good way might be to confront your dad, and tell him "I'm going to wait for x time for you to tell her, and then I'm going to tell her.  And I'll make sure I find out what you said, so it better be the truth."

I had to do this when I discovered my uncle had rented a house on his ranch to a child predator who was on probation.  The guy's target was young boys and my DB was planning to go up to the ranch with his family (including a young boy).  oo my uncle was really mad because he felt he had it all under control and the situation was safe, but I believed my DB needed to know and make his own decision.
