Long story short, my dad is cheating on my mom with his colleague at work. I saw the signs but I told myself that I was overthinking and that he was the last person who could do something like this; that he cant possibly throw away 22 yrs of marriage like that.
The confirmation came anyway when he accidentally left his locked whatsapp text open on his computer. It's one of those moments when I felt the last strand of faith I have just disappear. I felt angry and confused, how could he do something like that to my mom? and to our family?
I am the only person in my family who knows about this. My parents are leaving for a long awaited trip in just a few days, and I can’t bring myself to tell my mom anything yet and ruin her trip. I know it isn't my fault, but it still feels like I’m the one who is going to break our family apart. I cant imagine the pain my mom will go through. I don't think she even considered the idea of my dad cheating on her.
Right now, I'm carrying this for the sake of my mom and younger brother. As for this situation, I haven't really decided how to go about it. If anyone has been through something similar or just has some kind words, I could really use them right now. Thanks for listening.
