[quote=Anonymous]It took a very long time to forgive my dad for cheating.  You asked how we knew and it was because a woman answered his cell phone. As they say the coverup is what you gets you.  While you can say the cheating was an issue in the relationship between him and my mom, not being able to reach my dad in an  emergency and having him lie to us about where he was going and when he would be back made me feel like I came in behind the OW and that I couldn't depend on one of the two people in the world I should be able to depend on.

Having this happen during during the tween/teen years when your parents want you to be honest about where you are going and who you are going out with and during a time when you are trying to figure out who you are and what you will accept in any of your relationships is particularly difficult.  It's confusing as all to have your parent lie to your face but expect you to respect them and be honest with them. It's also tough as you start dating to see your mom stay with your dad that you know is cheating and refuse to divorce him and force him to initiate the divorce when the OW starts pressuring him.  The only way I forgave my dad was when he admitted that he was wrong in how he handled his marriage issues and that he was ashamed of what he was doing and that was why he lied and that he wish he had done things differently. If he had tried to say he was justified in amy way we would not be speaking today.[/quote]
