Its common to see people having extra marital affairs, but how its effects their children they dont tend to realise that fact that we are young and need role model. how would you react or feel if your father had an extra marital affair

my dad had several, but it was between my mom and him, and my mom managed to forgive my dad and still accept him with open arms, she was able to make us understand that what he did had nothing to do with us, it was his baggage and we should not loose respect of him. it was depressing really specially at times when I saw my mom cried but at the end of the day, whenever my dad goes home I still see my mom happy and for me thats enough not to judge my dad... he didnt became less of a father to me and my brothers. he made a mistake to my mom. Its nice to have a role model but always remember no one is perfect so when you have a role model you should always stick on the good side and dont judge why he made a mistake... someday somehow you will make one too and you will realize that you were the one that made that decision, and not your role model. you are responsible for what life you choose not anyone else...

Initial reaction I think would be anger. After that, I'll talk to my father and ask him why did he do it. If he is repentant then I will forgive him but if he is still with his mistress then I would tell him to choose between her and his family.

They should keep personal affairs away from children under 18 until the child can deal with or handle seeing the situation. It might give them the ok to do it themselves one day.
