The Confrontation

The confrontation, but before that I should provide you a summary of what happen. So I caught my father hugging a girl in the grocery and I do not know what to do. Scared to ask because it might hurt my feelings so much if it true. Today, I gathered enough courage to confront him about it. And what I see is all true. he was saying sorry for what he does but I feel so numb to listen to what he says. He was crying asking for forgiveness but I still do not know what to do. So I decided to run into my room and cry. What should I do? or What is the right thing to do? If you were in my position what would you do?

He waa crying? Will he leave the girl? Or what does his crying mean. At least you had the courage to confront him. Now your father's next move is.beyond your control, you cannot force him to do things not to his liking. But for sure situation at home will be tensed. How about your mother?

@Ding05 so he was enamored by the other woman. That's sad.

yes he was crying. Based on how he reacted I could see that he is not willing to change. He just wanted me to forgive him and should know that he is like that. I didn't told my mother about it, she might feel worst.

I'm proud of your courage. I'm sure you are hurt and disappointed. You were very brave to confront your father. I would wait until you were calm before continuing a discussion with him. You are angry and hurt right now. Wait a short time to allow yourself to talk not out of anger, but out of love.

@Ding05 Then it's best to do nothing right now. Wait until you DO know what to do. Think it out.

It's a really hard situation.. If you think those tears are true you should give him a chance

I don't know what to tell you. A hug should not be a big deal. People should be able to freely have relationships of friendship with other people without being judged. It shouldn't mean they are cheeters, or anything you might be thinking.

It is not a big deal but he lied to me. I called him when he was there, I asked him if where is he and then he told me that he is in his friends house. telling lies is already cheating.

Nothing. It isn't your responsibility to be your father's conscience. He knows you saw what happened. The only thing you can do now is put it in God's hands and let Him take care of it.

Tackle him with questions. Spy on him if it gets worse. But I think maybe it's nothing. Anyway my mother is divorced. My father was very very bad. I know the feeling. Do anything you need but don't tell your mother first before getting everything crystal clear.
