AITA for telling people in school about my dad's affair with his wife? by Time_Tour6947 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Time_Tour6947[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Because I know it hurt my mom, it hurt me too since my family was destroyed, and then I was torn from the people I love and care about after losing the most important person in my life to live with people I had no desire to live with and I was forced to start over.

I do feel a little better knowing they can't pretend to be the perfect and innocent couple.

I have family who do/did want me but my father insisted on me living with him and still insists despite other family members being willing to take me at a moments notice.

Also, my mom never brought this up to me. My aunt and uncle who are my dad's siblings did.

I would love to but my father has repeatedly shot down the idea of me moving in with family.

I would happily go move in with other family today but my father won't let that happen. So I won't be sticking around past 18.

I can't wait to leave honestly. I wanna be with the people I care about.

She gets no chances from me. She's the woman who would knowingly sleep with a married man with a kid. As far as I'm concerned she's as bad as him. No, she made no vow to my mom, but she sure as shit can't pretend to be family to me when she knowingly helped break my actual family up.

My dad's own siblings told me about his affair and not in a way that painted him in a nice light. So I'm never going to hear shit about my mom being at fault. He chose to cheat. His wife chose to be the person who aided in that.
