[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe the comments that suggest someone should not be hurt to find out their father is cheating on their mother.  It is not some character in a movie.  I do not care how old you are --- and I am 45, thinking of a parent cheating on the other hurts.  [/quote]

NP here.  I think what some people are trying to say is that OP does not have all the facts about the situation OR her parents' marriage.  They have had problems and OP's mom has said as much.  He could be cheating, he could have a hall pass or it could be a self gratification thing.  No need being "hurt" unless you know everything IMO.  Afterall, it is the marriage of 2 other adults.

The only question I would ask folks is what is the end-game?  Emotions aside, what does the OP hope to get out of telling her mother?  What would she want her mother to do about it?  Suppose she tells mom and mom says "I know and I don't mind"?    Regardless of what dad did or did not do, forcing a confrontation about this is an entirely new can of worms that, at least in the short term, will lay a lot of things bare. Is the OP ready for that?[/quote]
