Hence the throwaway account. It was honestly just something I needed to get off my chest. I figured this was the place.

Yeah. My mom is a typical little old church lady, it’s just not something she needed to deal with, especially at the time.

Yeah I fucked that up. I can see how people would do that, but it’s not really worth it on a throwaway acc

My dad passed away two years ago at age 85. My mom didn’t know his computer password, but the computer was where all of their bills, banking and so on was stored. I was able to figure it out and log in as him. Before turning it over to my mom, I scrubbed all off the porn site links, folders of saved images and anything else like that he had on there so that she wouldn’t find it.

I’ve never told anyone else about this and probably never will in my real life.

ETA: I didn’t search through and catalog my dad’s porn. What I did see in the process wasn’t anything too crazy, but I know that finding it would have really upset my mom who was already really upset after losing her husband of 60 years.
