My dad got affairs.
-
I'm living with my dad's mistress and him now.
Seeing my own mother on the sly because I'm not allowed to.
Haven't seen my stepmom/ex-maid in ages.
So yeah.
Cheer up.
There are others with worse plights, cheer up!
IT'S XMAS!

It is always very difficult to see the weaknesses of your parents - especially if you have a good relationship with them. And seems to me that you do.
Understand it is not your fault this is happening. Also understand that you cannot be responsible for the outcome. Your parents are adults, they need to handle their own issues the best they can.
Having said that, you can talk to them, listen to them, but try not to blame any of them for making causing this. Nobody is perfect... and if you get tired of being mediator (which you probably would end up), take a break. It's okay.
It looks to me that your parents do love you a lot so time to show that you love them lots too. Love ur mom extra cos she feels insecure, scared, and sad. Love ur dad extra to show him that whatever temporary comfort he may have from someone else, it doesn't ever beat the love that a family can give to him. -
babe/dude...
my dad's been like that since before i was born. my mum's got good perseverance if you ask me. admire her for that.
besides that point. there are 2 things you as a son/daughter can do, which i did.
1) continue enduring it.
2) do something about.
i think it's stupid to keep blabbering and whining about something on and on, and not do anything about it. shame on whiners. that's what i told my mum back then. shut up, or do something about it.
she chose the latter, and things took a great positive change.
whichever you choose, make it work yeah? -
its actually quite common.
just remember no matter what happens, he is still your father.
this is regardless of whatever your mom feels towards him.
