I have proof.
P.S. I am 22, but I also have a 10 year old sister who wont handle this situation well. I feel bad for my mom. I always thought of my dad as a model man and he let me down.

Personally, I would. If I knew that one of my parents was having an affair with someone else, I would not be happy. I would let them know. Or, if you talk to the one that is having the affair and tell them that you will tell your other parent if they keep it going. You don't want them to be having an affair that just isn't right and not a good thing for someone to keep a secret. Just follow your heart and do what you think is right =]
oh.. and I'm sorry about this 2

Its a difficult situation... but what i will do is talk with the one having an affair with... I will tell him/her what I know and what I expect... now if you dont have any proof it will just be a fishing expidition... better be sure first.
Now the tricky part, should you tell the other? it would somehow depend on the situation... I would rather let the offending party confess than u...

Depends on what your relationship with them is.
If you're still living with either/both of your parents, it could be really, really awkward if you tell--the parent who had the affair is likely to be upset with you, and the parent who didn't may decide that you're his/her "go-to" person for details about why they hate their spouse--NOT fun.
If you're living on your own, it's a different story. But it still may be a better idea to tell your parent in some anonymous way, if you want to maintain the relationship you have with the cheating parent.

It is sad when there is an infidelity going on, and it happens to be your own father. it is also hard when there are younger Kids involved, and they are innocently going to be suffering of what your father is doing.if it were my own Mother who does not know about it, I would decide to tell her, and not someone else. I think that from then on your Mother, will decide what to do about this situation, and you will be able to lift that guilty feeling you had when you found out about it, and hope everything would be taken care of, from then on. It is not going to be easy, to forgive your father for doing this to your Mother, and to the family, but I hope that with time your Mom will find it in her Heart to forgive your Dad for doing that to her. I care, and I am hoping that the Family will be able to weather this Torment in their Life.

I would give the offending parent just 24hrs to tell his/her spouse the truth in his/her own way before I went to the other parent with my knowledge of the affair.

I would but then again I have 3 half siblings, 2 of them 10 days older than 2 different siblings of mine. Plus they're seperated... sry that probably wasn't helpful

im going through the same thing right now. I suspect my mom is seeing someone else when my dad goes out of town for work. I have proof to back it up. i have been telling my siblings that we should confront my mom about it to make sure our suspicians are accurate and provide her with our evidence. i also think that I am going to force her to tell my dad. and after that the rest is up to them. my siblings and I are going to stay out of it and hope they work things out. the point is, if you know something, do something about it. Its immoral and the other deserves to know. i know confronting her is going to be one of the toughest situations I have ever put myself through but it has to be done out of respect for my father.

Probably not but I would tell someone else in the family like a sensible Aunt and ask them what they think the best approach should be.

probably not... by the time the kids figure it out, the parent has already caught on... sometimes people look the other way.. i don't know why?
confront the cheating parent if you are going to do anything at all?
that's my best answer.
