I (f16) will admit I have and always will have a close relationship with my mom (f40). She is truly an amazing woman. She has a great job and is honestly beautiful.
Yet about a year ago we found out my dad (m42) is having an affair with a woman who is now 26 she is only 10 years older then me. Her and I have less of an age gap then my dad and her have.
My mom even though she was upset she has never trash talked my dad. I am so upset though it would have been one thing for him to ask for a divorce instead he cheated with someone much younger then him.
Him and his affair moved about 2 hours away. I have seen him about 5 times since this all happened a year ago. I act pleasant when I see them, but things are awkward and my dad and I’s relationship is clearly strained.
So my dad’s affair is pregnant. He called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to go to the gender reveal party next weekend. I told him no. He asked why I said I didn’t want to talk about it. He kept pushing me, saying how the baby will be my little sibling. I got annoyed and went off. I told him how It would have been one thing for him to get a divorce from mom but you didn’t have the guts for that so instead you have an affair. So no I’m not going to accept your little affair baby as a sibling. He called me an immature brat. He later texted my mom complaining about how immature I am and how I need to grow up and accept that (his mistress name) and the baby is going to be part of my family. Am I Really A Jerk?
