Okay so I have a dilemma. Over the last two-threeish years my Dad has basically been having what I call an "emotional affair" with a woman that was my Mother's best friend for the best part of her life, (I'm talking from the age of 19), and two weeks ago he was "deer hunting" for a weekend. When I say "deer hunting", I say it with the quotation marks because that's what he told my Mother and I. What I've found out tonight, and what my Mother has found out on Monday (it's Wednesday) is that he was actually away clay target shooting for the weekend, staying at a Motel (I'm not sure if separate rooms/beds etc) with previously mentioned Woman - let's call her C. Now at this point he has lied to both my Mother and I, and yeah fair enough it's not my marriage and they should sort it out etc, but he has lied to me directly about his whereabouts to cover his tracks. Now I respect my Father to a certain degree - he is a hardworking, loving and caring Father, except I don't agree with a lot of the things he says. He is a stubborn, misogynistic, static asshole for the most part (don't tell me that it's not nice to say, it's true and I know my Dad and not you). Now the question I have is, do I ask him about the weekend away? I mean, he lied TO ME, aswell? It's an inappropriate relationship, regardless of wether it is platonic or not, it's inappropriate on every level. I also feel like I should go to her and talk to her about it. She was in my childhood growing up and I feel like it could help her understand the problem my Mother has. She also is married too by the way. So do I ask my Father about it and confront him? He didn't even admit to my Mother, she found the receipts for the Motel and Restaurants at their offices. What do I do? Ps I've tagged yall in this cause I value your opinion :))))
