[quote=Anonymous]I was 27 when I discovered my dad was cheating on my mom. I posted about it here many years ago when I found out. It was horrible. It’s years later and things haven’t gotten better, just the same bad in different ways. My dad was a high earner and my mom was not. My dad moved across the country to be with the other woman. My mom is still destroyed years later. I’m trying to rebuild the relationship with my parents but it sucks. I can never trust or fully forgive my dad for what he did, and I resent my mom (and also blame myself) for being so codependent on me in the early months after he moved out. My youngest sibling was 19 when it happened and were all just sick of the drama, the sadness, the lies, and miss what our family was for the majority of our lives. I wish my dad had died instead of cheated/left my mom because at least it would be over. He now tries to make us meet up with him and the other woman, tries to encourage us to get over the divorce. Our mom resents him and hates what he did to her but tries to encourage us to stay in touch with him but we get “punished” if we do. [/quote]
