my dad, a widower, is having an affair with a married woman. i confronted him and he said to just leave him alone coz he deserves to be happy. what would you do if you were in my position?

I learnt the hard way when it comes to not agreeing with one or both of your partents relationships. Fortunately my husband helped me refocus. Although my mothers relationship is stil continuing (not with a married man but with someone that I believe is not good for her or our family)and as much as I would prefer it to stop I can not make her. As long as she is happy that is all that matters. I will be there to pick up the pieces for her when they are no longer together. Your father will come to his senses and he will need someone to stand beside him when it happens. They (our parents) love us unconditionally and we in return should return that love even if we do not agree with their behaviour. Why don't you ask him how he would feel in the reverse situtation?

well, i dont think asking that question would change things. but i guess you're right, i do not have control over him and his emotions. the best thing would just for me to be there for him no matter what happens. i just wish he comes to his senses soon. i really appreciate your post. thanks! :-)
