I Feel Like My Dad Ruined Our Family

Hello, this is not exactly a confession about myself, is more about something that happened in my family recently, first of I am Chloe I dont think my name matters much, I am 16 but the conffesiion didnt let me put my real age and I live with my mom and dad, well, to be direct, my mom found dad having sex with a guy recently, and now they or more like she spent all the day talking shit about him and being angry at him in general, and I understand that but I am a bit teared by the situation, I want to sympathise with both but I really feel like my dad just ruined the family, he have been always caring even now, it may be selfish of me thinking this way,but , I would have liked if he could have keep things as they were even if he was actually gay, they always seemed to be happy together, my mom was kinda the moving force in the family taking the decision but dad always looked happy with this, but he talked to me and told me he was stressed by her for a long time, he is trying to makling things up with mom but I have found him calling that guy, he have the guy number apparently, I fear he might run away with that guy and leave me alone with mom who may become changed person for worse by this, I dont know what to do, sorry if this is not what you expected to find because of what is normally confessed, but thank for reading anyway.

Hey, sorry to hear about your situation.
First, You have to understand that coming out is different for adults than it is right now bc of our uprising. You father most likely struggled a lot with his feelings. however this doesn't excuse his actions.

Reading your message it seems you wish things could go back to what they were, and Im really sorry to say this, but that might not be possible anymore. If your father is really guy(he could be bi), then there is probably no reason for him to stay with your mother. That will probably lead to more infidelities and hurt all of you. But that definitely doesn't mean you cant still be a family.
If you are scared that your father can runaway, then the best you can do is make sure he knows you accept and support him. You say he is caring, so Im sure he will try his best to find a way to still be part of your family. Of course your mother will need to accept him too, and that will probably take a long time.

If you need to talk to someone well, I have a tumblr: wondertile

best of luck to you. I grew up in a troubles family and the main advise I can give you is to believe in yourself. You can do anything. Be strong. Your sense of understanding is apparent.
