how am i supposed to feel?

my dad has always been a lousy one who takes himself for father of the year every year,
and i can’t say he hasn’t always mistreated my mom in the most sneaky way.
now he lent me his old simcard cuz i deleted my phone number & broke my phone device out of, well, let’s say out of happiness. i opened my new phone device’s inbox looking for my memory card messages to find the sim messages instead and the first one appearing to start with “today is my first date with your groin”, the next with the name of a restaurant in the city he said he was going to for human rights related activities, & the 3rd one with something about feeling good in a g-string.
what’s the right feeling a daughter like me should be feeling now?

I disagree. I think that would be even more awkward. I say forget about it. I know he’s your dad and everything but he’s a man before that.

I suppose. Lazy, I guess it’s really just up to you…ignore it or talk to him.

Apalled is probably a good would too. That is if I spelled it right which I don’t think I did.

Well I also have an ******* of a father, I just avoid him and keep talk to the bare minimum, as if I were speaking to an acquaintance. If you think he is cheating on your mother then maybe you should tell someone, it’s up to you, you don’t have to, if it was me I’d just ignore him as much as possible until you can completely rule him out of your life. How should you feel? Disappointed I guess, but don’t let it get to you, most people are idiots and assholes, apparently including your dad.

I think you should ask him why hes cheating on your mom. See this is why i am scared of getting married or being in a relationship period. Most guys get bored and want to venture off. The question is do the wife know but simply ignore it or is she clueless. I would tell my mom because im really close to her but i never been in your situation before so i really cant tell you what to do until it happens to me, which it never will because my parents divorced along time ago.

I thought about this for a while before posting a reply.

Yes, I think you should talk to your father. Tell him that you found some things on the sim card that troubled you, and that you are worried about him, your mom and their marriage.

This could be the “wake up” call he needs. Yes, it will be awkward, but it could shock him out of his bad behavior.

I’d imagine that would be troubling for you Lazy. What do you want to do? Truth is that you don’t necessarily have to do anything but you may have it in the back of your mind if you don’t. I’d suggest you talk to your Dad about it, give him the chance to explain himself and you can tell him how awkward and uncomfortable that made you feel. It could mean anything. You’ll be able to discern the truth by looking at him as he explains himself and take it from there. I wouldn’t suggest jumping to any conclusions just yet, just come out with it and ask him what’s going on. This really is a tough one. Sorry you have to deal with this.

thanks a lot chev and miss enigma, eventually i woke up one morning to find me calling him and telling him that whatever the messages on my simcard are, what matters to me is that mom be perfectly okay and treated with utmost sincerity and that it not be my responsibility to handle the situation which seems to be happening whether i’m just imagining or things are the way they seem to be, in brief that he put closure to the situation and take full responsibility for whatever has happened till the moment and make things right. he said things about me getting it all wrong and the messages being very old and him dealing with everything with mom and his therapist, i said i didn’t care as long as mom is treated right.

well, thanks a whole lot for being here, peeps.
luv luv
