Personally, I would confront my dad with the information. Tell him if he doesn't tell her, you will.

I would first speak with your dad! You may not have all of the information you need to know if dad is really having a affair with someone else! It is easy to think your dad maybe cheating on your mom, you need to speak with your dad and make sure you have all of the facts before you go to your mom and say something like that! It may not be what you think after all! I would make it a point first to speak to your dad before you say a thing that could back fire on you! If you know without a doubt your dad is in fact cheating on your mom you need to have proof of those facts! If indeed your dad is cheating, have all your ducks in a roll before confronting your mom!! It will indeed make a difference to her and how she handles the information you give to her! I do believe it is in the best interest to make sure of the facts first before saying something like that, that may not be true!

First of all, talk to your dad that you know and tell him to do "what is right". That way you give him the burden of being responsible for his actions. Better give him a timeline as to when he intends to do it. If he still does "what is not right" within that prescribed timeline, talk to another elder that you can trust ...first of all it should be someone from your father's side of the family...an uncle, an aunt or your paternal grandparents. Again, that way, you leave the burden of responsibilities on the "adults". If that doesn't work, I believe that your mom should be getting the idea from those grown-ups.

Tell her only if you want to destroy their marriage. The information will really hurt your mother if you do tell. It might be wiser to talk with your dad and tell him to quit. It will scare him to know that you know and he will probably not ever do it again if he values his marriage. He was definately wrong, but look at the lives that will be negatively effected if you do tell her. It's better to just make him stop.

I think you should speak with your dad first, it is in his place to tell your mom. Then if he doesn't, you will have to tell her. Either way her feelings are going to be hurt, but it is better than living with a lie.

How old are you?
How are your relationships with each parent?
Who is he cheating on her with?
Do you know the person?
I agree with the respondent who's advised you to confront your father.
Very difficult situation to be in; I've been there but I was only 5.
Good luck to you all.

yes you should,but make sure you know for sure this is true. i think you should she could cathch something from him that could cost her, her life and thats your mom and your dad should feel very hurtful if he knows that you know this, really he owes it to her to tell her . ask him first to tell her and if he wont then tell her. keeping it from her could mean catching aids or anything ealse,i would do this soon. good luck.

Have a heart-to-heart talk with your dad first. It's important to know why he is doing that. Its fair also that your dad be straight with you.
