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 cheated on my mum repeatedly,he even left us with his life savings to go back to Jamaica to go and be with his childhood sweetheart we were only good enough for him when she cleaned him out.
I caught him kissing other women, watched him chase a woman down the street, he also occasionally took me to work with him and on the way home left me sat in the car whilst he went to attend to his other woman.
He was a crap dad with lots of other children and I had no respect for him and eventually my mum too, they were on/off again more than I changed my knickers. And it was a very dysfunctional upbringing.
After my father and I fought were he nearly strangled me to death and accused me of being a liar for over hearing his phone sex conversation. I decided enough was enough. I could no longer listen to his lies and watch him mess around with my mum life. I moved out and 6 years ago we stopped talking.
He's currently in hospital. I went to visit when I was told he was going to die to say goodbye but now he's recovering I refuse to go back.

@Justlilyg: I believe it is both, a mixed situation. You miss out on a good father and respect for your father, that has deeper influence on your life than you might be aware of. But you cant change the past, you can only change how you think about the past and how you live today. God bless you and grant you healing.
