My father is having an extramarital affair. Part of me wants to end my relationship with him for cheating on my mom, but i worry that he will be depressed as he loves me a lot. How do I deal with this situation?

Talk. Discuss everything openly. We often make things more complicated by keeping our emotions to ourselves. Just keep your patience and talk to your parents. Know there views as well. I know it's complicated but it'll be much less complicated once you conversate. Don't be scared to show your anger, sadness, jealousy, resentment or frustration. It's natural to feel that way. It's better out than inside you.

I suggest you talk to him first about the his affairs. Then know his point of view of his doings. Leaving something behind is not an answer. Try finding a solution.

I would really put out the pros and cons of continuing to talk to him. If I do, would it affect my mental health and if so, I wouldn't compromise for that

Oh, such a tough spot to be in. I am so sorry you are holding this right now. Whereas, i don’t have ‘the answer,’ i think that making sure you are taking care of yourself in whatever you decide, is crucial. Obviously, from your question, you are a loving, compassionate person, and you care and worry about causing your father pain. I would simply be sure, that you’re not ‘taking care’ of anyone else’s hurt, but allowing them the space to have and be responsible for their own feelings. This could translate to, say, taking care to not ‘take sides,’ with either parent. And, ultimately, it frees you to feel whatever comes up for you through this—from sadness, hurt, anger, to compassion or empathy, and even, perhaps, a bit of peace, without guilt, at some point, because this isn’t yours to have solve, cover-up, or compensate-for. Keep doing what you’re doing, with reflecting and caring for your parents’ well-beings. And be sure to tend to you, first and foremost.

As hard as it can be to do so, you need to detach yourself from the situation as that particular issue is between your mom and your dad. You are absolutely allowed to disagree with what he has done, and to be disappointed in his decision to have an extramarital affair - but as a child we are not prone to knowing what may have caused him to do this. An extramarital affair in no way changes how much he loves you. Perhaps you could talk with him about how you are feeling. Be honest with him.

talk to him. tell him how you feel about the situation and if this doesnt work then talk to your mother.

Never end you relationship with your father, obviously he is going through something that you are not aware of. Communication is the key to any relationship

I think you should talk to him about it and tell him how you feel and then if he don't try to tell you the truth then you should tell him he needs tot tell you mom the truth

Talk to him about it and make your thoughts on the matter clear. He needs to know what he's done isn't right or okay.

I understand you feeling disappointed by your dad. He made a mistake that hurt your mom. As you consider everyone's pain, also consider that no matter what, tomorrow he will still be your father. Have you told him how you are hurting personally? Rage is not a good feeling to hold on to. Do you think you could find a path for your family to start healing?
