" enraged is a perfect word to describe it.
i was an only child when my dad cheated, i mean he cheated again when my little brother was born but what does an infant know?
just seeing him hold my little brother and pretend to care about our family while doing all those disgusting things on the side made me hate him forever. i've never forgiven him and i never will.

did you ever tell your mom that it angered you? or where you silent about you're feelings too? "

" i was silent for many years. but it finally came out in 2000 when i MADE her sign the divorce papers! i told her i was SICK and TIRED of hearing how she missed him and he was a fuckin pig. i was disgusted that he was my father and even more disgusted that she kept taking him back all those years. i finally felt like i could put it behind me when she signed the papers and mailed it to him.

but still years later, every now and then i hear her talk about dad and how she wishes things were different and bla bla bla....
i always tell her to stick a cork in it and find a new man that CARES about her! she's 61 now and i still want her to remarry one day to a great caring man, just so she can experience what a good man is like. lol "

" that's great. I hope your mother does find that one true person who will honestly love her. :]

i hope that for my mother too, besides, then there will be someone else to have to put up with her sh*t besides me, haha. "

" All I have are accusations and sketchy things my mom did. Before she moved out, she was hanging out with a particular male co-worker of hers. She wouldnt answer her cell phone when we would call her. She would be out and we would have no idea where she was.

My mom claims she didn't do anything wrong while she was with my dad.

If I one day find out my mom did cheat, I will be devastated. This is the person that raised me to become the good moral person I am. And to think she was capable of doing something like that? I think it would make me hate her. "

" Pissed off is a good way to describe it. Now I'm just apathetic to it. But my mom finally wised up after the second time around. "

" oh wow. gd Q. where to i begin lol yeh. my mom was cheated on numerous times. she never actually caught him in the act but she told me one time tht she found a shirt in here car tht didnt belong to me, my sister or my mother. so i think she knew for awhile but just didnt realy wanna beleive it. and i know he wasnt always like this. idk why he is now. after his accident its like our whole family life just started to go down hill from there.

his alcoholism was the worst thing ever. he abused my mother every time he got hammered. and he wasnt a bad guy. he really wasnt but alcohol just wasnt his friend. and then suddenly he just started to not come home at all. he would come home to sleep on the couch and take a shower occasionally and get clothes but thts it. he never said hi to me or my sister. but yeh. its a huge story tht is behind wat is to be my mother and fathers divorce.

but no. i never hid my feelings from my mother or father. i always bitched at my father and told him how disgusted i was and angered with wat he was doing. "
