[quote=Anonymous]My father had an affair with his ex-wife. I didn't find out about till several years later. I don't think my parents know that I know or that my brothers know at all. My mom is still married to him. I'm under the impression that it happened just before my dad went into rehab for alcoholism, which brought other mental health issues to light. That was a really rough period when I was 11 or 12. My relationship with my parents is complicated, and the affair is just one small factor in that. I don't respect my father for his lack of personal responsibility, yet at the same time, I know that is a symptom of mental illness. I don't really respect my mother for putting up with all of his shit all the time and never standing up for herself, but on some level I do admire her dedication (i'm not sure that's the right word) to him/being able to deal with the hand she's been dealt.
