“I found out that they’ve been having an affair for a year, almost immediately after they met for the first time; they plan to get married after the twin babies (boy and girl) are born, and Mary’s divorce is finalized.”
He feels incredibly blameworthy here because if he had never invited Josh and Mary to his birthday party, his dad would have never met Mary.
He can’t bring himself to look at his dad the way that he has for his entire life. His dad intentionally pursued Mary, knowing that she was married, and Mary also has a 10-year-old son. While his dad was nothing but wonderful to him growing up, and he adores him, he can’t believe his dad did this.
He wants to put as much space between himself and his dad as possible, and he really does not want to be involved in his life anymore.
“He invited me to their baby shower, but I said I couldn’t go because I didn’t feel comfortable. He asked me why so I said: “Dad, to be honest, I can’t look at you the same way; you went after a married woman with a child, you got her pregnant, and now wants to act as if nothing has happened,” he said.
“He told me this doesn’t affect me anyway and that his love life shouldn’t be my problem, but I had to quit the job since Josh became insufferable. My mom and friends say that I should support my dad because I don’t know what Josh’s and Mary’s relationship was like, which is true, I don’t, but I can’t help but feel guilty and sorry for Josh.”
He’s left wondering if it’s wrong of him to have told his dad he no longer respects him and wants nothing to do with his new family. Do you think it was wrong of him to be so honest?
