I can relate to your story, but in my case my mother called it quits and they left the desicion to me and my brother to choose where to go. Of course I chose my mother because I resented my father. It didn’t change much, I still cannot fully say that I love him, because he never actually apologized to making our childhood a mess. I’m so much older now (29) and I came to terms that there are people who are horrible and are your closest family. At this point I don’t expect anything anymore, I just play nice, because I believe it will come back to bite his ass. Not now, but someday, and believing in that gives me a peace of mind. <3
Moms always stays for their children and altho i cannot agree with that choice, i understand. I also found out about my father's affair from his phone during blackberry era in his bbm. Told my big sis but keep it quiet from parents, told my mom 2-3 months later and the next day she's gone and i blame myself so hard for it thankfully she came back the night after. She never talk about it ever again after that, but there's one night she wake me up and ask me to open my dad's phone and to find the girl's profile because I've said that the woman is holding a baby, never found the profile tho. Few years after that (during covid), i found out from my sister that turns out that woman have a child with my dad (and the child is 2 years older than my youngest brother) and my mom knew about it, reason why my sister know about it is because my mom ask her if she wants to meet the kid.
That's sick bruh
The manga hit home for me since I discovered my dad cheating on my mom by text. I was using my iPad back when I was 11 and saw he was messaging with this women and taking so romanticly and sexually! I texted for women as if I was my dad and cussed her out! Ig the lady told my dad and he came up to me the next day saying “ if you don’t tell your mom I’ll take you to universal studios” I’ve never looked and felt the same for my dad ever since. I’m 20 years old now still feeling that resentment. I’ve been to therapy but I still can’t shake off this feeling! Told my mom when I was 15. I don’t remember the face she made but I knew she knew since my parents would fight. I thought my dad stopped cheating but he kept cheating on my mom. What makes me so mad is how my mom stayed and didn’t listen when I said to leave my dad. I wish it was like the manga. But I suppose it’s just different for her especially since I have two lil brothers. I grew up loving my dad and thinking he was my biggest role model but ever since that day when I was 11 it has changed. I resent my dad to this day a lot but a part of me accepts that I can’t change my dad and his actions. He my dad whether I like it or not. I will never forgive my dad for being a terrible husband. I am his daughter but I will never/try to be like him.
