I was in the same situation about two months ago except I caught my dad cheating on the phone. I saw texts and picture messages nd I heads phone calls. I didn't want to tell my mom cuz I didn't want to break up the family. I held it in for weeks and I couldnt eat or concentrate at school. I eventually told my mom and my dad admitted to it.y parents stayed together because my mothers an idiot. I think he's doing it again. But I know that your going through.

Have you ever heard the expression of being between a rock and a hard place or damned if you do damned if you don't. This is exactly where your at right now.


Your snooping put you in touch with information you should not have seen. Part of this is your dads fault for leaving his messaging open to be seen.


My question to you is; had you not found this information is there any indication or rather was there any indication that things were not good between your parents. Meaning; do they argue or fight more than you remember them doing in the past? Have they been less affectionate around you and any siblings you have? Does your dad show you less affection or spend less time with you and the family?


As long as dad is not harming your mother physically as in hitting or beating her. There is no reason for you to intercede in their marriage. As long as your dad continues to show you love and affection you should not change your feelings for him either. What you think is happening may or may not be happening. This may be something your mother is aware of and chosen to live with.


If you were to say something to your mom or your dad it could force the issue into the open where she or dad would be forced to deal with it. My thoughts are that unless or until your home life changes you do not know for sure what you read.


My advice is not to say anything to anyone about what you read.

Mmmm,I'd suggest that you stay out of it,things could get very dramatic if you said something or tried to give your dad away,it's not up to children to solve their parents' problems,I'm telling you this because I experienced a similar situation in my family,it's sad,hard and incomprehensible,but you need to know how to be prudent;)
