An angry kid who didn\u2019t get along with their dad told Reddit that their dad had been cheating on them.<\/p>\n
AAfter seeing the man behave in a strange way, the child got suspicious.<\/p>\n
One day, the man got home late and didn\u2019t know that his child could smell something strange on him. Only a few days went by before his child found out his biggest secret.<\/p>\n
A 16 year-old went to Reddit to ask if they were wrong for telling their family about their cheating dad. Before getting to the main story, the teen talked about their bond with their dad.<\/p>\n
Because of work, the teen and his brothers\u2019 father was rarely home when they were kids. The man worked long hours and often went to other places on business trips. He didn\u2019t spend much time with his family at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cSiblings and I were basically raised only by my Mom, and I\u2019m really close with her,\u201d the kid said. The teen didn\u2019t want to talk to the dad because the dad only talked about how bad the kid was doing in school. The person on Reddit always told them to do better in school or things would get tough.<\/p>\n
As a child, the youth saw that his father was acting differently, but he didn\u2019t think anything was wrong. When the child turned 16, what the man had been keeping from his family came out.<\/p>\n
What did the teen find out?
\n\u201cI remember a few months ago, he came home super late, and I could smell a little perfume on him,\u201d the Redditor said. Even though the teen didn\u2019t do anything about the strange smell that day, he or she soon figured out what it meant.<\/p>\n
A few days later, the dad forgot to put his phone down on the table. He had no idea that when his teenager saw a message on the screen, his family would find out his biggest secret.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night was amazing.\u201d Someone sent the teenager\u2019s dad a text message that said, \u201cCan\u2019t wait to see you again.\u201d The teenager was shocked, but knew what to do.<\/p>\n
The teen wanted to talk to their father or tell their brothers about the message, but instead they ran to their mother. The child told her what was on their father\u2019s phone because he thought the woman would talk to him about it, but she wasn\u2019t surprised. Someone on Reddit remembered:<\/p>\n
\u201cShe got pretty emotional, which I felt bad about.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the teenagers watched their mother get angry, they chose not to continue talking. The child thought their mother had told them not to worry about it. She told the child she would take care of everything, but she didn\u2019t know that the child would soon tell on the man.<\/p>\n
How did the teen expose her father?
\nThe teen was asked to a dinner at their grandparents\u2019 house soon after seeing the text message. They were getting together with family, and the child\u2019s cousins were there too. At dinner, one of the teen\u2019s cousins began to talk about his new job.<\/p>\n
The child\u2019s father brought the attention of everyone to his child when he heard about his cousin\u2019s new job at a software company. The Redditor said, \u201cMy Dad took the opportunity to call me out and say I should follow after my cousin and focus more in school.\u201d<\/p>\n
The teenager didn\u2019t answer the father, so he or she just ate quietly until an uncle joined the chat and said it was hard to talk to teens these days. That teen\u2019s dad agreed, saying that kids no longer respected their parents and that the Redditor never respected him.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the teen lost it and told the man, \u201cHard to respect you when you openly cheat on Mom and don\u2019t even try to hide it.\u201d When those words were spoken, everyone was quiet, and the teen\u2019s father was shocked.<\/p>\n
The man didn\u2019t scold his child; instead, he got into a fight with his wife and blamed her for ruining the teenager. Their fight got so bad that other family members had to step in and calm them down. The man\u2019s wife soon left the dinner with their kids, telling him not to come home.<\/p>\n
The kid remembered, \u201cWhen we got home, my phone started blowing up.\u201d A lot of family members, like the child\u2019s cousins and uncles, thought the teen was the one who broke up the parents\u2019 marriage. So, the kid felt bad about what he did and told his mother he was sorry.<\/p>\n
The woman understood how her child felt, but she said it would have been better to talk to the man alone. That being said, she didn\u2019t blame the kid for making her marriage worse. At the same time, the teen\u2019s dad kept calling, but they never answered.<\/p>\n
After telling other Redditors what happened, the teen asked them what they thought about it. Someone wrote, \u201cNTA. It\u2019s a bit awkward to do it over dinner, but if I were a teenager and my dad was insulting my entire person like that, I think I would snap thirty seconds before you did.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Reddit user said the teen wasn\u2019t to blame and put the blame on the father instead. At the same time, someone else said that the teen\u2019s father and extended family were to blame for everything. The user also said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI also highly doubt your extended family would have played defense if your mum was the one cheating.\u201d<\/p>\n
