[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly OP, how does this hurt you? You are presumably a grown adult who can live outside your parents shadow, can you not? You need to see a therapist if your dad supposedly cheating on your Mom in your adulthood has caused you to lose trust in ALL men. What did you think your dad is Jesus or somebody, incapable of doing no wrong? Or do you, as an adult, think that your dad represents all men?[/quote]

eek, I'm 12:15 and this is not what I meant at ALL. Of course her father's behavior affects her relationships with men. What an ignorant comment. My point was for OP to think abou tall the lessons she is learning from this, not just about men but abou thow women should act in relationships. Will she want to be the kind of woman her mother is?  Why did her mother decide to stay?[/quote]

OP here. Thank you! I'm not trying to put my Dad on a pedastal, but I did think highly of him and this experience certainly forced me to think differently. I tried talking to my sister about it, but she completely and totally denied that he could have done anything. She's younger than I am by a few years and I just accepted that this isn't something she can handle emotionally. We are an extremely close family and we talk about everything, so to have something like come up is pretty shocking for us.

It definitely made me think about how I'd want to act as a woman in a relationship. I'll never know exactly why mom decided to stay (assuming she knows something happened), but assuming she did knowingly look past it, it made me reconsider whether I'd be willing to look past something similar.
