I am 28 years old and they have been married for 36 years. I am close to both of them. i thought that they would never get divorced. I have rarely seen them fight. This is a huge shock to my brother and me. I don't know what I should say or not say when i talk to my dad. He seems to think that is wrong and that it is ok because it is not a sexual relationship. The lady he is "seeing" is also married and has 2 teenage daughters. He says that her husband is a terrible person and that she will leave him to be with my dad. The 2 teenage daughters know all about what is going on and they love my dad. They hope that their mother will leave thier father to be with my dad. My dad can't seem to get over this lady. My brother got really mad at him and my dad saisd, "I don't have take this from you." I am so dumbfounded over the whole situation. My dad and i used to talk all of the time. Now my mom is completely heartbroken and i am sad for her. I just have know idea how to react.

Who the hell told your Mom, I hope it was your Dad and not one of you kids. Just tell him that you don't appreciate the situation he has put you in and you certainly don't like the fact that he is breaking the family up and then walk away....it sounds like it is too late to do anything and all you can do is comfort your mother.

Your dad is going to do what ever it is he wants to do. He is a grown man. I know this has to hurt, I've been there. It isn't easy, and maybe there are things your parents haven't really told you and your brother. Maybe your dad is going through a midlife crisis...maybe a little late. But either way, he is going to be with this woman...like it or not. I believe a majority of us here on yahoo! answers have been in this situation with you and feel your pain. I know I do. I wish your mother much love and luck...you and your brother too. As for what to tell your dad, there isn't much. I just wish I could help you with this. Good luck with this, I send much love your way.

How very sad. I am sorry for your turmoil.
My advise, stand by your Mother always, each of you is a victim.
Your Dad is being a total horse's a**..
Your brother is right, you do not have to take this crap from him.
Kick his sorry a** to the curb.
Tell your Mother to run, don't walk to closest and best divorce attorney in your home town.. and she should stick her husband for the bill, and whatever else she feels entitled to.
Let the other lady/bimbo have him, they probably deserve each other.
Good Luck to each of you.. (not your dad)

The only thing you can do is be there for your mother. What is done is done. Your father is obviously not going to leave this other women and he will listen to no one so save your breathe on that one. Talk to your mom and convince her to get a good lawyer and get a divorce. Good Luck!!

tell u'r mother she deserves to know, but before that you have to show your mom.

tell your dad how you feel and that you do not approve of what he is doing...........or however it is you feel about it...........just tell him how you feel let him know honestly. also let him know honestly that real men don't do this to their family..........they don't leave their family for greener grass, they tend to the grass in their own backyard
