Infedelity

If you know one of your parents were often unfaithful to your other parent, would you feel resentment towards them for it throughout the years?

My father had an affair that lasted many yrs. He fathered a child by the other woman. I had just hit 7th grade when I found out. I'm the one who told my mother. My father knew I told and focused his anger on me. I eventually went into State Foster Care for abuse to get away from him. My father never paid a dime of support for his other child. He never fostered any relationship with his son. I never lived back at home since 7th grade. I never received any kind of support from my parents. My mother stayed married to my father. My father a very mean and manipulative man. He's in his 80's now. He is deliberately cruel to everyone he meets. I maybe only see my parents every 7-8 yrs for short amounts of time. I grew up , put myself through college and obtained a good job. I'm retired now. I know my father has made my mother's life a living hell for the last 60 yrs. But ultimately she is the one who chose to stay. The rest of my siblings feel the same way I do about him.
