Cheating father..

I'm home for the weekend, and this brought back a roller coaster of emotions.

What would you do if you found out your sexagenarian dad has been cheating on your mum for more than 15 years?

Just had my dad drunk dial a random lady planning a sex date next week on Tuesday. 😣. It was very X rated...haha. Hata mimi huwa siambii wasichana hivyo 😅. Huyo mzee ako na tabia mbaya kweli.

This hurt me so much, and it has brought back so many hurtful memories.

When I was much younger (I started driving early), I had to pick him up from pubs occasionally. I was in my teens then. I heard him flirting on the phone with some ladies - just the usual sex chat, but he didn't know that I heard everything.

I'm 99.9% certain mum knows his habits, but she chose to focus on her career and family. She's never confrontational and would never hurt a fly 😔

This knowledge has caused me so much resentment towards him, and my way of paying back is by scamming him money. I know it's not a nice thing to do, but I know he has hurt mum very much emotionally over the years.

Should I just detach and ignore him or make him enjoy what's left of his life? (he has a host of health issues but is on medication).

Edit: I've taken everyone's response into account. Some were thoughtful while some were outrightly hilarious. But I have a good sense of humour, so I had a good chuckle in the morning.

I'll just accept him the way he is and find a way of dealing with my resentments. He's human, after all, and I have many flaws, probably more than him.

Let's us all enjoy what's left of life together ❤️
