About two weeks ago I started realizing things my father was dOing that made me believe he was cheating on my mother. About 3 days ago while he was bringing me to work He told me he had something to tell me "I'm gay" Was one of the things and "Ive found someone else" Was the other. He hadnt told my mom at the point I was the only one who knew.
Today He told my mom and as you can tell now the house is on edge. I don't Know how to handle this and Would really like to find others who can relate to me and help me work through this but I've searched online and I cant find anything. Could you help me please! (link)

Well I thank you for coming to me, and I will try everything in my power to help you.
First, it is completely understandable that your family life is on edge. And your mom may have trouble dealing with this, because I am sure she is in love with your dad, and he is discovering a change in his sexuality, its okay, its life. However, your mom is going to need time to digest this shocking news, so I would suggest being there for her, and being very supportive, she needs it.
The best thing I can say is that even though you may be having trouble accepting this or comprehending it, it is reality, and your mom is probably very confused. I would give it a couple days, and when you have a chance, I would take her to lunch, and maybe discuss the situation, see how she is feeling and offer her as much support as possible. I know this is a delicate situation and I wish you luck with dealing with it, but just give it some time, and be there to support both parents, it must be difficult.
Best of luck,
let me know if you need anything else. :)
