He confessed….to the wrong person
Posted by anonymous in Family on Oct 12th, 2010 | 6 commentsmy dad confessed (to me) about having an affair on mom….before i left to college. the night he left back home, after having dropped me off at campus, he let me know i had a little sister living in the same town i was now gonna be living in.

maybe you could use my stratgey (sp?) anyway. i have a half brother a few (not sure how many) years younger than i am. all i know is his name. i wonder sometimes if we look anything alike or if we would get along or if i’ve ever seen him and not known it. but then i think what if i met him and didn’t like him but he wanted us to be close? or vise versa. could i really deal with hurting him like that or being hurt? i know that doesn’t help with the your mom not knowing part but maybe it will ease your mind about the other =/
I think you should ask your dad about your half sister, find out her name, what she might look like, ect. This must be hard for you knowing your dad cheated, but why not make the best of a bad situation, by getting to know your half sister. You don’t want to spend the rest of your life wondering. You and her could end up getting along great. She is your long lost sister after all. Good luck, I hope you get to meet her. : )
maybe she doesn’t know she has a half brother. that could really hurt her and her connections with her mother. just a thought.
Ugh. Sorry to hear. That was unfair of your dad. Dropping you off at college is already a big enough rite of passage.
I hope you are doing okay! (Know that you are really wonderful for handling lifes awkward quirks so gracefully)
Your father was selfish in dumping that one you. It is possible he is looking for you to be curious enough to find your half sibling and breank this secret open. You have to decide if that is what you want for yourself. You didn’t create this situation and you are not responsible to solve it.
Wow, that is pretty messed up of your dad. I think you should tell him that he’s got to tell your mom or you will. If you really feel like you want to meet this sister then dig for more information, but if you would rather put it behind you then forget about it. But cheating on your mom is unacceptable, wouldn’t you want her to tell you if your husband confessed a secret to her? I know it’s not the same thing. My dad cheated on my mom and my mom on my dad and it was horrible to see, they shouldn’t have stayed together and maybe your parents shouldn’t either…
