This woman's dad had an affair with her sister-in-law and she just found out
- Replies 6
Having to deal with an affair is hard enough as it is. The threads holding a family together start to unravel, and soon it becomes a complicated web of disaster.
That’s exactly what happened to this 24-year-old woman, who recently discovered that her father was cheating on her mother. The other woman?
It was none other than her sister-in-law.
The woman took to Reddit, a popular social media site, to air out her concerns and ask for advice regarding her situation.
In her post, she said that she has suspected her father of cheating on her mum for a while now.
‘My mum and dad have been married for 37 years,’ she said.
‘There’s been accusations and things that haven’t added up for a long time, but yesterday my brother was on his wife’s Facebook and the messages from our dad started flooding in,’ she explained.
She added that her sister-in-law has cheated on her brother at least 10 other times. Her brother is 27 years old and has been diagnosed with autism and extreme anxiety.
However, the daughter shared that her main concern was ‘breaking her mother’s heart’.
‘Now that I know it’s completely true and happening, I’m scared to death to tell her,’ she said.
She admitted that she knows she has to but is a little lost on ‘how to go about’ telling her mum.
‘She’s my best friend,’ she wrote.
Of course, users flooded the comments to write their thoughts on the matter – most of them were horrified to read such a scandalous reveal.
‘Wow, how awful. Your dad and SIL (sister-in-law) have been selfish and haven’t considered all the destruction this will cause,’ wrote one person.
‘That is gross, like soul-crushing,’ added another.
‘Wow what a wonderful parent – NOT,’ a third sarcastically wrote.
Others tried helping the woman with her problem by giving solid, actionable advice.
‘This is going to blow up the family but your mum needs to know,’ offered someone.
Another user told the original poster to ‘find a quiet setting and tell her, bring the evidence as well’.
A second wrote: ‘Well that is going to explode multiple families, but your mum and brother deserve to know.’
Another said: ‘Maybe do some work to find some counsellors your mum can talk to – or a lawyer to manage the divorce.’
In a surprising update, the daughter said that her brother is now taking his wife’s and their dad’s side.
Although she attributes this to her brother’s mental state. ‘He is easily manipulated and gaslit,’ she wrote.
Finally, she thanked everyone for their advice and concerns.
‘I appreciate all of the advice and support from everyone.’ She also said that she’s not entirely sure what will happen to their family from now on,
