A 17-year-old girl discovered her mother’s affair when borrowing her tablet for school work. A message meant for another man shocked her. Distraught, she copied evidence and consulted her 24-year-old brother before confronting their father, who was unaware. The father confronted the friend’s mom, revealing her husband’s infidelity. The friend’s mom confirmed suspicions but also found out about another affair. The father, devastated, left with his children. The mother, confronted, initially denied but later admitted, begging for forgiveness. The daughter, unable to forgive, revealed the affair to her father and requested her mother not attend her events. Reconciliation seemed unlikely as the father consulted a lawyer about divorce.

The teen received many comments about her story with a diverse reaction from the Reddit community. While some applauded the girl for telling her father, others had a negative response to the story.
