Family trouble, I need help!!!

[Amazing_Sam]

I really need help. A few months ago I found out that my dad watches porn.

I had just gone on one of my weekly runs and I wanted to figure out how far I had run. So I grabbed our family laptop off the table and went to my room. I opened it up and saw that the Internet was already up, so I clicked on it and sure enough there was porn on the screen. I wouldnt have really known who was watching it except my dad was the only home the night before and he was on the computer when I left for soccer practice. So I knew it could only be him that was watching it. It looks like he was chatting with another woman, so I dont know if he has ever cheated on my mom.

I really need help and I don't know if they are gonna get a divorce, I cant even imagine it, living in two seperate houses, my friends who have divorced parents say its really hard on the.. I need to know if I'm freaking out and thinking of the worst possible senario or what. I really want to tell someone but I don't know who to tell or what to say. Please help!!

There are two ways you can go about this....
1. Do not say anything
OR
2. Sit down and talk to your dad about it

But the thing is he has a short temper and I think if I tried to talk to him about it he would get violent.

just act like you know nothing, it is like reading someone else's diary, you should just forget about it

Do your parents usually fight? Are your mother and father close? Inform your mother about this. Tell her the whole story. Rather her talk to him about this sort of thing, than you.

I am close to my mom but the thing is with this type of thing I am most likely going to break down and start balling and wont be able to get anything out. Like Ive told one friend and she said she would tell someone if i wanted her to but i just really dont know. I AM REALLY CONFUSED!!

It's alright to be confused. I can imagine how shocked you were to encounter that. But to be honest, tell your mother. Be brave and just tell her. I don't think it would be right to keep this from her. This doesn't automatically mean that your parents are going to divorce. You are jumping to conclusions too fast. I understand where you are coming from, and how you feel, but the best thing, and right thing to do, is to just explain the whole situation to your mother. I hope things go well for you. :)
