dad having an affair?

ok bottom line is i think my dad is having an affair - or maybe even goes out with random girls everynight. he is never home and always comes back at like 3AM.

the thing is my mum is the most honest, nicest person in the world and just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable as i know my mum would never do anything like that.

things arent great at home anyway - but i just feel disgusted and really bad for my mum.

i dunno what to do - and divorce aint that easy here ...

help!

This is tough because I don't know what your dad is like (strict, has a temper, private, etc) but maybe you could confront him?

It's probably best to not mention it to your mom unless you found out for sure as you'd just worry her :frown:

Try and find out for sure if hes actually having an affair before you say anything, maybe he is just working late nights? it does sound a bit dodgy of hes coming back at 3am each night...does your mom not suspect anything?

This sounds like an awful situation :frown: but maybe do some detective work and find out the truth before you say anything to anyone. Maybe follow him one day...
