This was a real weird experience for me I was about 6-7 something like that and at the time my uncle was dating the lady who’s now my aunt and she had a son let’s say his name was John he was only about a year older than me and we used to hang out a lot and I don’t really remember how or why but we started doing inappropriate stuff like kissing and touching and anytime we saw each other at one of our houses we would do it. One time my dad walked in and was so disgusted he told my mom, johns mom ,and my uncle. Thinking back to it now I have no idea why I did that I didn’t even really like him. Well anyway I just had to get that off my chest.

I was 15 yrs old (girl). When My dad randomly took me on over an hour long car drive. At first I was really excited bc “YAY dad is surprising me with lunch, a trip, etc”. Nope. He started telling me about how “horrible” and “mentally abusive” my mother was to him during their 17 year marriage. Then proceeded to tell me how he was unfaithful to my mom starting after their first year of marriage. He was calling her mentally abusive while he went off and had affairs with only god knows how many women. He told me he wanted a divorce after 3 yrs but he was to chicken to ask for one. after all that (and many more traumatizing confessions) he went on to tell me that he and my stepmother (who’s 20 yrs younger than him) were going to move out of state bc “my bitchy attitude towards her”. Butttt you know that’s fine bc “we can FaceTime” . -I couldn’t do anything for that whole hour except stare out the window crying, while he was confessing all that to me. Ive never told anyone about that. I’m the only one in my family that knows my stepmother wasn’t the only women he cheated on my mom with. Should I tell someone?
