I'm fucking livid. I feel betrayed. It's a good thing he moved to Florida because I feel like going over to his house and stomping his shitty guts out.
I thought exactly the same thing. What did your dad do to you? What he did was wrong, but he cheated on your mom, not you. Once you cool down at least consider talking to him about it.
I pray you and your mom are able to lean on each other. Please don’t let this eat at you because you did nothing wrong, nor did she. You don’t need to talk with him, for as long as you need, keep your distance.
Some things you never really get over. Then one day your mom is spending her last few hours on earth incapacitated, and your father says the quite part out loud about dating other people... Your mom wouldn't want me to be alone.
Yep, some people have crap in their hearts. Just make sure you're not one of them. Never the less, it suuucks having family like this to deal with. Especially, if they question why you don't want a relationship with them... Hmm maybe it's cause you're a jerk?
I've been there. Please look after your mom, and don't let her date bad hombres because she's on the rebound. She'll be vulnerable for a while, make sure you do your best to keep her spirits up and outlook positive. Men don't cheat because their wives are ugly or inadequate per se, but usually just because they want a different flavor of woman if you understand me, your mom shouldn't blame herself, but try to look ahead and take care of herself.
So sorry for your loss, Chelsea.
(Seriously, learning that is like a knife to the guts, it upends your entire world and sense of stability)
Wait til you find out about the 2020 election. That will really piss you off.
Did you otherwise trust and like your dad before this? There is probably more to it, we don’t know all the details.

Be the better person.
Been there Done that

Be a better Man than he was. It's going to suck now for a while, but be better my friend.
Welcome to the club...its a BIG club.
I've been there. Please look after your mom, and don't let her date bad hombres because she's on the rebound. She'll be vulnerable for a while, make sure you do your best to keep her spirits up and outlook positive.

Pretty sure your mom knew, or at least suspected.
Not saying adultery is good, because it isn't. It never will be.
But you were never in their marriage. You are the product of that marriage, but they made vows to each other, not you.
And your father will always be your father, and your mom your mom. Neither of them are saints, nor are you.
At least take the time to ask him what happened. It could be he stuck around all those years for you.
Again, it's a shitty situation. But hate only hurts you.
Cheating their entire marriage? And he never tried to address problems the correct way? C'mon.
