I discovered my dad was cheating on mom. and the "girl" is my friend whom I introduced to dad coz she was . asking me to help her look for a job,my dad hired her as his secretary. i noticed things are becoming unusual until one day i picked up my dad's phone and saw her messages - - - messages a secretary would not send to her boss - - - so i confronted her. I guess she told my dad, coz my dad wants to throw me out of the house. It's so unfair!

angels are watching - angels watching out for us
Tell your Mom Now. She may not believe you but at least you told her. If you don't she will eventually find out and she will find out you knew and you will not only have lost your dad but your mom may hate you for it. Please just tell hey mom I think dad is cheating with so and so and I thought you should know and walk away and let her do with that info what she chooses don't push it any farther. How old are you if you are old enough to be on your own then maybe moving out isn't such a bad idea. Hoping the best for you. Good Luck.

That is quite a predicament you have there. If that happened to me, I would have my mom around and feign ignorance as I ask why he wants to throw me out of the house so suddenly.. as if throwing me out would make the issue disappear.. I think it would just magnify it.. These is one of those times that you were just trying to help but, ended with something that we weren't expecting. Just proves that the end doesn't always justifies the means.. (-_-")

I already replied to this discussion of yours, I don't know what happened to my response. As I said there, did your dad tell you the reason why is he kicking you out of the house. For me that is being unfair, how could a parent can do that to his child. I guess he is very guilty and afraid. Maybe the situation is just an accusation but that is not the reason for you to be thrown out in your own house. That made me angry to your dad, I am sorry to tell you!

i'm mad at him too... a lot of people are... But you know, I don't wanna move out. I'm trying to save as much money as possible. I have a 14-year old son who is growing up really fast. I don't wanna rent a room when we there are plenty of rooms in the house. I'd rather save the money for his future needs. It kinda hurt my pride if I don't move out...but if I do... I'd be compromising my savings....

how can he do something like that? threatening to throw you and exchange you for that whatever secretary that she just met, probably he got so busted that he went a-wall so wanting to throw you out. that's not fair, don't leave the leave the house you have every right to be there, probably except when you had more money than paying bills.

Hi there, no matter how hard it may seem perhaps telling your mum would be a good idea. It is far better that she finds out now than years later. Whether she stays with your dad or not is up to her. By the way I really feel for you, its not a comfortable situation to find yourself in. Perhaps tell your dad that you dont approve of what hes doing but that you will always love him for being your dad. Perhaps he feels embarassed being found out and cannot face you right now and that is why he wants you out of the house. First things first time to tell you mom. She deserves to know.

by the way I forgot to mention I think it is unfair that he wants you out of the house. Just stay, and hopefully things will calm down. Im sure your mom won't let him kick you out of the house. Especially once she knows about the circumstance.

oh thats very bad. i hate your dad for what he did. i hate men behaving as if they are teenagers. better tell your mom about it because it would be unfair to her part. for your friend give her some lesson. fire her.

Doesn't you mom have any say so about who lives in the house as well? Does she know he is cheating? He probably has cheated before, but this is rude of your friend. Life often takes turns that are not fair, and it is too bad, if he can throw you out of the house. What is he doing messing around with someone young enough to be his daughter?

I think you should talk to your dad. It might have anything to do with the young lady, other than him being embarrassed that his daughter knows about his infidelity. I read in this discussion that your mom knows, but can't seem to do anything to rectify it or to confront your dad about his actions. I hope she gets some guts soon!

i think just because they have money they think they can do anything and can have everything.
