[quote=Anonymous]My dad had a long-term affair w/ one of my elementary school teachers (starting when I was 7), and flings w/ my best friend's mom and one of my mom's best friends, and who the hell knows how many others. I'm sure I must have other 1/2 siblings running around here somewhere. We went to brunch one morning when I was 15 and he told my sister and me that he had married my elementary school teacher on a trip the month before. Now she's stuck caring for him bc he's mostly blind and certainly demented at this point. They deserve each other.

I knew something was going on from a very young age bc I have journal entries alluding to his extracurricular activities on his nights out. My mom kicked him out when I was 13 bc my best friend saw him at a concert with our old teacher and asked in front of my mom why my dad was at a concert w mrs. Elementary school teacher. My mom flew off the handle bc she thought the affair was over and his shit flew out the door. I learned of the other affairs later on (although they happened when I was younger).

This shattered an otherwise very close relationship w/ my dad and he made a series of bad decisions following the split that solidified his deadbeat status. He always said I'd understand when I got older but I'm married with a kid now and find his actions even more repulsive. Mom fell into a deep depression after he left and rarely came out of her room throughout my high school years. She never got over the hurt and still trashes him 20 yrs later. My siblings and I have little to no contact with him. [/quote]
