Answer #12

hey my mum did that to my dad its not nice what so ever! theres not a awul lot you can do for your dad , I was in the same situation just let him know that you are there for him, and spend time with him when you can like mayby go out or something which trust me will take his mind of a lot of it! just be positive aorund him and I duno its hard really! just over all just be there for him as much as you can ok , but do think about what you feel at the moment as well, its hard when one of your parents have been cheating, and if you dont get what you feel out of you then you end up getting deppressed and if you end up like me your bottle it up and end up doing summing your regret! well hope I’ve helped anyways! xxx

Answer #13

Look, when I was 17 my mother cheated on my dad. It wasnt pretty, to make the situation worse, I had signed up for the ARMY already. This all hit at the worse time possible, and my father hit rock bottom. Seriously, it was not a walk in the park at all. My mother and father would toggle me back and forth and would be very child like, in the fact that they would argue over who would get to see me. It was horrible, and being the only child that made it worse. My father was devistated, and I was by his side as much as I possibly could be. These things are tough, but you just have to do whats best for you! Both of your parents will love you no matter who you pick to live with. Its not your fault all that happened. Frankly they should leave you out of it, but like I said do whats best for you.

Answer #14

Answer #15

I’ve actually been in the situation your talking of from your Dads point of view. . . Stick with your dad thru thick and thin. Don’t hate your Mom, Hate only causes harm. hate her actions not her. Sometime we got to do hard things in our lifes and it’s not going to make us happy. Remember Hard times can make you or brake you. . . don’t get broken.

Answer #16

to put it in a nutshell… be there for your dad.

Answer #17

oh yeah & is your dad going to court? if he’s not, tell him too.
