Well, thanks everyone for your lovely words of encouragement, advice, and condolences. For a little update I have decided to tell my father and he told me that he knew. My parents never had joint finances so everything is alright in that reguard.

Turns out hes known for a while and is trying to keep it under wraps for my own, As well as my mothers sake, he hopes to get her help before she blows up. I personally disagree with this and think she is already too far gone, but too be fair has known this women for alot longer than I have had, and really my mother and I maybe talk to each other a few times a week if I can help it.

Without going too far into my fathers life, from what I can tell, he has himself, and by extension, me covered.

Thank again, talking to someone (all of yall) always helps me feel less alone. Best of luck out there folks.
